Aw, Juliebird, I'm sorry. I have a feeling I kind of loved everything that you hated about it, especially the Bollywood. Probably no Buffista should ever listen to me about movies.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I changed the channel onto Tree of Life...shortly before the drowning, I guess. Having since done some reading up about the movie--would coming in late help explain why I was so detached from it?
Having seen all the way through them moving, would you recommend me recording a future showing and watching the whole thing, if I didn't feel particularly enraptured by the coming of age vignettes I've seen so far? I mean, does putting it into context make a significant difference?

But I understand there are dinosaurs--do they help or hinder?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Savages, which I pretty much hated. travolta and Hayak were about the only good things in it.

I had no idea that so much of Magic Mike was about ... furniture? I had to read the white font to make sure that wasn't some kind of euphemism!

Scrappy,
what a shame. I love me some Hayek and I hate Travolta (I believe in the last 15 years, he has played the same character in every movie). Sounds like Savages has little to recommend it for me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The dinosaurs help, IMO, especially the more I think about the movie. ToL is one of those moves where you have to let yourself become immersed in the viewing. It's not so much a matter of having to pay close and constant attention (c.f. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), but of settling into the slow and meandering pace of the film. It's one of those films I keep thinking about even a year after I've seen it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But bon, he was living in that huge place. Obviously the saving wasn't actually his #1 priority. But whatever, it was an enjoyable movie with some hot asses and some stuff to think about a little.

Hey. New board.
I think the dinosaurs hinder. I didn't like anything but the Pitt and kids vignettes. Dinosaurs, and creation of the universe, and Sean Penn and the whole ending felt like trying way too hard.
