- I think this review might be a bigger piece of fiction then the movie was. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 13:49 2
  - I agree with what you say. But he's writing from his own perspective and I don't think he's seen Luger or Roberts since the WWE/F years -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 13:52 1
    - Even still, if internet fanboys know this shit, I'd hate to fathom him not having a clue about it. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 13:54

    - I'd call it "nap time," normally. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 13:32 5
      - I'm psyched because this is a full day that I get to do something I love. - kelly Feb 16, 13:36 4
        
        My life and career center on films--one or two at a time. 14 hours would be physical torture for someone like me. I get up an take a walk every half - Amy Feb 16, 13:43 2
        
        This is one of the reasons why I'm going alone - Will is too antsy to sit through all that, too. -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 13:47 1

  - What? - kelly Feb 16, 13:20
  - nevermind, it looks from the other posts like AMC theatres, not the AMC channel -- nm - peglegpete Feb 16, 13:20 1
    - :) -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 13:20
- Me too. It will be a test, though, to see if I can sit still for that long. - kelly Feb 16, 13:15 7
  - Yeah, we're trying to figure out if they give us any time like an intermission for food / lunch. - JaxSean Feb 16, 13:16 6
    - Wasn't there a Japanese guy who survived for over a year on just popcorn? You could make it for a day. :P -- nm - Jelly Feb 16, 13:32 1
      - Unfortunately, I usually eat too much before the movie even starts. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 13:33
    - This is all I could find: - kelly Feb 16, 13:19 3
      - Looks like you could squeeze in two 20+ min breaks after The Reader and Benjamin Button - JaxSean Feb 16, 13:30 2
        
        Heh, thanks. I was doing to math over here but didn't get as far as you. - kelly Feb 16, 13:34 1

  - Wait, that wasn't that bad. It was incredibly faithful. -- nm - Amy Feb 16, 13:11 2
    - It was lacking an energy. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 13:21
    - that's what I think, too. - Callisto Feb 16, 13:14
Also, I'm not following the complaint about Javier Bardem's actions in VCB. You're exponentially more likely to get something if you ask for it. -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 16, 13:01 6
- I don't blame Bardem as such. Just poor writing. I was watching it and going, "yeah right" It was like Woody just decided to make a film that (spoils) - Loyola Feb 16, 13:14 2
  - I guess sometimes you need to watch more than 14 minutes of a movie to see how it all works together. -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 13:16 1
    - Granted, I take that point, but I just don't have the curiosity to find out if Woody can make an omlette out of rancid eggs. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 13:19
- Confidence is key. -- nm - kelly Feb 16, 13:04 2
  - The fact that he is the type of guy who can and does such things is imperative to his character and the overall story. -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 16, 13:06 1
    - Yep. - kelly Feb 16, 13:11

  - Willow is far "worse" than Neverending Story, but you know a great number of kid flicks in the 80s were pretty dark. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 13:27 2
    - It's like someone forgot to tell Hollywood that it was the "Morning In America" Reagan Era. - Mel Profit Feb 16, 13:28 1
