I am very interested in seeing this movie.

12/24/2008 12:18:23 AM

i don't know which one is bigger

my mancrush for brad pitt or f. scott fitzgerald

12/24/2008 12:24:49 AM

brad pitt is certainly my man crush

12/24/2008 12:25:55 AM

my friend said it is way too long, overproduced garbage.

12/24/2008 2:56:48 AM

like a kanye west jam?

12/24/2008 3:03:11 AM

pretty much.

I'll still probably see it, but my expectations aren't as high as they were previously, I trust this guy's tastes, and can definitely see that happening to this film.

12/24/2008 3:25:51 AM

nah man, this is going to be an awesome film.

^^ lol

12/24/2008 7:51:38 AM

I'd like to see it too, since we had to read the story this semester for ENG:208

12/24/2008 9:29:51 AM

I don't remember there being a film with this type of story line before so that is why I am excited.

I, too, have a man crush on Brad Pitt. Wait, wat?

12/24/2008 10:03:57 AM

I want to see it too

I'm interested to see if he has to use a fake ID to buy liquor when he's 60 years old

12/24/2008 10:22:37 AM

the only entertainment i can think of where a character ages backwards is the fuckers from Ork

12/24/2008 11:28:42 AM

it seems to have the same feel as movies like Big Fish and Forrest Gump (same writer i think). My family always sees a movie on Christmas Day so this is what we're seeing tomorrow.

12/24/2008 11:40:58 AM

166 minutes is long enough to raise my suspicions for any movie except one specifically billed as "epic." It's gotten lots of award nominations, but I think I'll probably still wait til more reviews start pouring in. We'll go see a movie on Christmas as well, but we're going to see Slumdog Millionaire or Doubt instead.

12/24/2008 2:53:07 PM

i still can't picture slumdog millionaire being as good as its hyped to be

but i'm excited as hell about doubt

12/24/2008 3:32:47 PM

^ I feel the same way with Slumdog Millionaire.

Hope it lives up to the hype

12/24/2008 3:38:54 PM

I also want to see Slumdog Millionaire.

12/24/2008 3:50:57 PM

Slumdog Millionaire is as good as its hype indicates, saw it a few weeks ago.

12/24/2008 7:18:24 PM

its a combination of forrest gump and the notebook. decent movie if u have a free night a redbox close to u

12/26/2008 4:35:48 AM

a similarly critical friend of mine said it was "incredible". will see it.

12/26/2008 8:30:32 AM

we went to go see it yesterday but beaver creek had a fire and closed for a few hours. Went to Galaxy to see Doubt instead.

12/26/2008 8:30:50 AM

Saw it last night. It was a good movie but I thought the audience was more emotionally detached from the characters than in Forrest Gump or Big Fish. The movie is going along and you feel like there's going to be this huge tear-jerking climax that catapults the movie from "really good" to "masterpiece", but it doesn't ever come.

12/26/2008 8:37:21 AM

it was a great movie.. very similar to forrest gump.

was extremely good for the first 75% of the movie, then it slowed down a little.

12/26/2008 8:57:57 AM

movie is too long, tries too hard.

7/10

12/26/2008 11:15:35 AM

similar in structure to forrest gump (same screenwriter, after all) but totally different in tone. definitely worth the ticket, though not fincher's best work.

12/26/2008 9:56:23 PM

Does he end up having a boy that shares his aspirations in ping pong?

12/26/2008 10:01:52 PM

Fucking awesome movie.

People who think the movie is too long or slowed down at the end just need better attention spans. I don't see any way it could have ended better.

Great movie. And I've always been a big fan of Cate Blanchett, think she's one of the best, if not the best actress in Hollywood right now...but damn she was fine as shit in this movie.

12/26/2008 11:58:04 PM

I'll probably see this tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm also hearing it is Forrest Gump.

12/27/2008 1:07:38 AM

I definitely want to see this, but I have a hard time thinking this movie could top FG for me simply because I enjoy Tom Hanks a lot more than Brad Pitt (though I do enjoy some of his roles for sure)

12/27/2008 1:12:05 AM

My girlfriend saw this and said it was really good, even though it felt like it was 8 hours long.

12/27/2008 1:16:27 PM

I thought it was pretty great.

12/27/2008 1:38:25 PM

how does a person grow younger

12/27/2008 2:35:54 PM

magic

ILLUSIONS ...tricks are what whores do on the street for money

I swear, there's TKEshultz with his vapid wisdom.



Great fucking movie. Definitely a Forrest Gump feel, for sure.

No, it's nothing to do with any illusions, or sleight of hand. It's based on a fiction novel. For one to grasp this notion, one must have A) an ability to read, and B) a brain that functions beyond two dimensions.

12/28/2008 4:32:01 PM

or he was misquoting arrested development...

12/28/2008 5:35:16 PM

i wasn't disappointed. it helps that i, too, have a certifiable mancrush on brad pitt and have a huge regular crush on cate blanchett.

[Edited on December 28, 2008 at 5:36 PM. Reason : ^ yes, misquoting indeed. i wasn't going to point it out though.]

12/28/2008 5:35:17 PM

saw it with the fam last night. good movie but kind of long. i enjoyed it and would watch it again but not for a couple of months at least

12/28/2008 9:30:20 PM

I really enjoyed this film.

12/28/2008 9:46:38 PM

http://www.ninjavideo.com has a dvd rip up

12/29/2008 12:49:51 AM

Saw it last night and I really liked it...it is similar to Forrest Gump

12/29/2008 3:15:03 AM

It reminded me more of the movie Big Fish than Forrest Gump.

I found it slightly dull though.

i think this is the best way to say it. i watched it and didn't ever think that it was 'too long'. I could tell i had been in the theater for a while but never imagined that i was there for a full 3 hours.

The ending was perfect and teaches a good lesson. perhaps those who think the movie slowed missed the point that it was making or aren't that in tune emotionally.

when we left the theater everyone was pretty much silent from the point the movie ended until they were out of the door. i think that demonstrates the degree of impact which this film had on the general viewer there.

did you accidentally see schindler's list? i liked this movie a lot, but it was in no way as intense of a film as you are describing.

12/29/2008 10:57:10 AM

it impacted me heavily, what can i say. and the crowd was completely silent at the end despite it being sold out. a lot of people had puffy red eyes as they left, so i can honestly say i'm definitely not the only one there who was impacted.

12/29/2008 2:18:22 PM

i guess to be fair, u r serious cat.

12/29/2008 2:35:56 PM

I haven't seen that many people crying in a movie in a long time.

12/29/2008 3:08:39 PM

are you kidding? I guess I will be bringing the tissue box this time. It better not be like beautiful mind...I profusely cried in that movie...in public.

12/29/2008 3:55:06 PM

yeah there was lots of sniffling going on in the theater last night


beautiful movie, i must say

That's a little misleading.

I mean...it was pretty sad...but not necessarily a tear-jerker. It was combination of sad and "beautiful"...and saying that just made me feel a little gay inside.

12/29/2008 5:13:26 PM

^there's no such thing as a little gay, you're whole gay brother, might as well move to san francisco
