Great to see, that there are still people joining us.
I updated the OP again:
Update 01/08:
It's fantastic to see this thread thriving with activity, but sadly that has a downside. It makes the update progress for me a bit slow and clumsy if you post a new update for every movie.
If I haven't updated the OP with you last addition yet, please just update your old post. That way, I won't have to update the same poster half a dozen times for the same OP update.
That doesn't mean, that you shouldn't discuss or post updates on your progress in new posts, just don't use the update format, when you do so. I can just skim over these posts and the discussion can still go on.

It was interesting to see the first movie from Anderson back to back with his latest one. They are very similar but completely different at the same time.
Synecdoche, New York was something else.
It is a very dark movie and almost everything has a meaning on different layers and can be interpreted in dozens of ways. While it's pretty negative, I got a positive push from the movie. Somehow the message I got from it was:
"Choose your own path and take action into your own hands."
Many movies have this message, but only a few manage to invoke it through a pessimistic and depressed main character.
Edit: Ha, forgot about Conan the Destroyer.
I'm not really making progress with Clash of Kings, so I put it aside for a while and started with Homicide. Fascinating book, but also a long one
