I kept hoping you'd come online, because I always feel weird about posting a comment obviously unrelated to the topic of the post it's attached to.

I saw Mouth To Mouth and I really enjoyed it (though August Diehl didn't stand out anywhere near to the degree he did in Inglourious Basterds, due simply, I think, to the nature of his role). The story spoke to me in a very obvious way, as someone who is attempting to leave his privileged but vacuous life for one that will be tougher but which may afford some fulfillment.

It was funny-- the fact that SPARK had become a malign and controlling influence dawned on my rather suddenly. (That was something I really appreciated about the film-- it showed, very naturally and organically, how a cult might develop.) I had to take a break from the film because my envy of all the SPARK participants was making me feel quite emo. I had something to eat, spent some time on WoW, and, when I came back, the epiphany occurred almost immediately.

I have much more to say, of course, but I don't think that spelling out every single thought and impression in a single comment would be particularly practical.
