By the way, I saw previews for all of these movies before the same movie, which is why I have the titles and casts and plots all mixed up lol

And they all said "DECEMBER" at the end, and I was just like DAMN these are all out now?


What movie were you seeing? hmmm
If you will, so will I

I saw it this weekend and loved it. It really made me think. I was thinking about that movie all night after seeing it. It teaches a valuable lesson about life and death, about what's important, how it's never too late to start over and do what you want to do. The special effects were well done. I'd like to know how they made Brad a 7-year-old old man in that wheelchair. Without giving it away, the end was sad, part of the circumstances were sad. I wish they had taken out one element of the ending. It was almost 3 hours long, but didn't feel that long. I liked seeing his journey. It was only a little Forrest Gump-ish. I might see it again.
Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

What about that ...Pounds one? I think that's the Tom Cruise one.


I don't want to go anywhere near Seven Pounds or Valkyrie. Especially Valkyrie. Cruise doesn't even try to do a German accent. Ridiculous.



Trust me, avoid Valkyrie. That tries so hard to be intense and dramatic it's damn near waiting on a Shatner cameo.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

I cannot stand Brad Pitt. He has this weird "acting" voice in every movie I've seen him in. It's so annoying!

lol

The movie seems kind of strange. I might see it on DVD.

I may have to get drunk first though. lol


I am drunk right now, and I have NO interest in seeing this movie.

Who the hell thinks we want to see depressing movies, especially during the holidays?

Idiots.

Like Halle Berry's non-African Storm in X-Men?

Halle did have a slight accent in the first X-Men movie, but I think it was gone for the last two. That didn't bother me so much.

I want to see this movie. It looks like it might be a tough watch though seeing Cate Blanchett's character age normally while Brad gets younger. Very sad.

Cool idea with the reverse type on the Brad Pitt poster.


It's very good - I saw it with my family last weekend.

I rather enjoyed it , but not as much as I thought I would. Visually stunning,so I'm predicting that it'll probably get the oscar for cinematography. I kept thinking how much it reminded me of Forrest Gump since it basically used the same plot devices, turns out the same person who wrote Forrest Gump, wrote the screenplay to this as well. Despite it being a long ass movie, I felt that towards the end it was rushed a bit ( his last few years). Overall, a decent movie.

They spent way too much time in the current day hospital room, could have cut 45 minutes out... Good flick, great job morphing Pitt's head onto that little frail body. Kinda shitty that everyone's elderly makeup looked fantastic EXCEPT Taraji's - wtf happened there? They just stuffed some cotton in her cheeks, yucked up her teeth & sent her on set confused They should have done an adequate makeup job on her as she aged...
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart
