Yup, that's exactly what's happening, and it's annoying the piss out of me, because it's never done it before and I can't see any scratches on it or anything. I may just wait until tonight to finish watching it, 'cause I'm getting too irritated to snark.
And Elephant? ARGH. I like a good school shooting as much as the next person (okay, so maybe not), but those kids were seriously doped on something. The correct response to two kids running through your high school shooting people is not a casual stroll and the facial expression equivalent of, "School shooting? Huh. Bummer."
There was this ridiculous on-going debate on indiefilms about how Van Sant intended to make Elephant as a concept film, which, by their definition was "an intentionally bad film about nothing." Okay then.
There's a reason why we have professional actors. Their job is to attempt to have multiple facial expressions. I say attempt because some consider Keanu (who I find appealing in a mashed potato sort of way) an actor.
