What did you think it was going to be about? Don't people ever read
reviews or watch previews? This reminds me of a former friend of mine
who walked out 15 minutes into The Crow because it was "too violent."
I said, "Karen, it's about a guy coming back from the dead to avenge
his murder and the rape and murder of his girlfriend...what did you
expect?"
Anyhoo, I'm dying to see Castaway.

Tom Hanks was absolutely incredible in this movie. If there was any question
of a doubt of how great an actor he is, this movie seals the deal. I still
can't believe how much weight the man lost over the course of filming.
I'm interested in hearing what people thought of the ending (without giving it
away of course). The vast majority of people I know who have seen it hated the
ending, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it was the perfect ending for the
script.

I think I might have been able to do the fire thing...better than I would

Actually, I tend to avoid reviews and such b/c I don't want to be
swayed by something that someone else noticed and formed an opinion
of. Take 'Almost Famous' for example. When I saw it, I did so w/o
reading what anyone else had to say. The result? I disliked it for
it's own merits not b/c of someone else's opinion. I think people
should pointedly avoid reviews of anything until after they've formed
their own judgements... not that I'm trying to force my opinion on
you. :o)
And I happen to think that Tom Hanks is way overrated.

Well, ok, a lot of times I avoid reviews myself. But you don't
generally go see movies without knowing what they are about do you? At
least on a regular basis. It's hard to miss hearing about a Tom
Hanks movie, even if you don't read reviews.

Say it ain't so Squid, say it ain't so. I loved Almost Famous; it made me
feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I don't think it's for everyone, but being
a diehard music fan I'm very surprised that you couldn't identify with it.
Plus the soundtrack rocks :)

Fair enough. It's always good advice to form your own opinions. Lord knows
I'd be listening to boy bands and bad rap otherwise...

I really liked Cast Away. I thought it was great because a movie like that
doesn't get made very often--one man, sleeping and eating, with almost no
talking through most of the movie??? I can only imagine what the movie
studio suits must have thought when someone first pitched the movie concept
to them. I grant you that the little love story bits at the beginning and
end seem artificially tagged on, but it also serves to show the contrast
between the world he'd become accustomed to and the world he left behind.
It's interesting to see what he does when faced with normal everyday
situations after having lived in survival mode for all those years.
If I recall correctly, Tom Hanks said on a late night talk show that it
took 5 years to make the movie--which places it *before* all the Survivor
bullshit started. Apparently they made the first part of the movie, and
then took a break. The director Robert Zemeckis even went and made a
different movie while Tom Hanks lost 50 pounds for the role; that's what
allowed the drastic change when they fade out and then tell you that 4
years have passed. I wonder if Tom Hanks could give me some dieting tips,
I'd love to lose 50 pounds...

You're right, I do love music, but just b/c a movie has a bunch of
references to bands that I like doesn't swing much with me. I just
didn't care for the story. Maybe it's b/c that most of the stuff that
relates to that band is actually stuff that happened to Led Zeppelin
and so I can't be entertained by it since I've known about it for
years. Some non-Zep fans may be shocked to learn how much of that
movie actually happened...
...but moving back to the subject at hand, I felt that Almost Famous
was an artistic movie that just didn't suit my tastes. I don't think
much of Kate Hudson's acting abilities. I loved Jason Lee, but I felt
sort of ripped off when he only had a minimum of screen time. The
movie was decent, I guess, but I can't help but think that it was
overblown.
>If I recall correctly, Tom Hanks said on a late night talk show that it

>bullshit started.
I have zero intention of seeing the movie, but I do think it's odd
that people would lump that in with Survivor. Have people been doing
that? I hate Survivor and everything it stands for. It sickens me
that people would trade their privacy for thirty minutes of TV time
every week.

You're right, but I have no idea why he gets such mad props. I never
thought Tom Hanks was anything special.
I don't watch much TV and I read news on the internet, so I miss a lot
of things. I have gone to see movies before wherein I wasn't clear on
the plot and, to me, that's THE way to see a movie. I knew next to
nothing when I was the Matrix and that movie kicked my ass.

He's a very good actor who's been very fortunate in his script
selection in the last five or six years, basically. I think it's a
shame he's more or less ditched comedy though, the guy is hilarious
and he hasn't really done a true comedy in awhile. With all the
fabulous movies he's been in, my two favorite Tom Hanks movies are
still Splash and Big. :)

I think Robert Zemeckis' virtuosic abilities as a director are being over
looked here. The man is a genius, plain and simple, able to very
entertaining movies with the newest of technologies, and the most excellent
of scripts. The man knows cinema and is one of the greatest living
directors.

Okay, I'll go with you on that one. I think Hanks is a very gifted
comedian, and maybe that's why I don't like him as much as before b/c
I always thought his comedies were awesome. I loved Dragnet. That
movie was *definitley* a product of it's time.

Well, that's the difference between us, I guess. Hey, weren't you
part of the Binaural resistance? If so, I think it's funny that you
tried so hard to avoid spoiling Binaural, but read reviews of movies,
whereas I do the complete opposite. Life is strange, yeah, life is

Well, the DVD edition is going to have, like, at least thirty extra
minutes of deleted scenes put back into the movie, so you'll be able
to see the theatrical version or the director's cut, whichever you
prefer. I plan to purchase the movie on DVD and see if the director's
cut changes my mind about the movie.

I didn't like it either. I didn't think it sucked; it just wasn't
great.
I saw a little movie called "Chocolat" which I really liked...I'm a
pushover for movies with Chocolate in them...I don't believe I've ever
met a "Chocolate" movie I didn't like..."Like Water for Chocolate,"
etc., etc. Not particularly original, but had a nice little
conclusion about faith, which is a huge hook for the likes of me.
I'm going to see "Quills" today, which I'm sure will be a highly
cleaned up version of the Marquis de Sade's life. Interesting,
though, in all, I'll bet. :))

Yeah I'm weird that way. :) Actually, I didn't mind reading about
Binaural, or hearing what others had to say about it, I just didn't
want to *hear* it until it came out officially, because if I knew the
songs before the album came out, going to get it would be so
anti-climactic. And it's not like I have to know details of a movie
before I go see it...I just want to have some idea of whether or not
it looks like something I'd enjoy. Previews do that nicely, usually.
Of course, I'm currently madly avoiding Episode II spoilers (though

Ohh, but you know what I hate worse? when they change it to be something
LIKE a familiar brand name but not quite. You know, like if they'd kept the
same colors and print style but renamed it "AmEx" or "Global Express," ha.
To me that's more distracting. I still remember in the wonderful movie,
"Who's That Girl,'' the faux UPS driver, Buck, who I believe worked for
UPC...but looked just like a UPS driver...it drove me nuts.
Of course, we all know...IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH.

I believe it was! Back in the day I would have found Jimmy Page more
appealing (please note the importance of the phrase, back in the day...) but
I've always been a guitar girl, not a lead singer girl. ; ) But I wanted to
try and twist Squid's arm...the entire band in Almost Famous is not molded
after Led Zep...otherwise there would have been a shark/groupie incident at
the Edgewater Hotel. I think Cameron Crowe said that it had a lot to do
with the Allman Brothers and that the lead character was based quite a bit
on Glenn Frey of the Eagles. I believe the "Just make us look cool" line
was attributed to him.
And Jett, didn't Plant yell out at the premiere during his golden god line?
Something like, "No, but I am!" after Billy Crudup utters the line from the
roof of the house? That's so great of him. I need to find my CC interview

I think trailers can really fuck up the movie experience. The best
trailer for a movie EVER was for Face/Off. Too bad the movie sucked.
It is possible to create a trailer for a movie w/o spoiling it, but
that's an artform that few people take seriously anymore.

Well, I'll try to keep SWII spoilers out of this forum. Shouldn't be
too hard since this is a Pearl Jam forum... :o) Did you d/l the Star
Wars Episode II FAKE Trailer? This was a clear fake, never intended
to be real that put together footage of the actors from other movies
they've done plus homemade visual effects. It's pretty good,
actually. But as I said, a fan created it, it's not at all the work
of LFL or is representative of what Ep. II will offer. To put it
another way, it's spoiler free. ;o)

I didn't mean to suggest that the band were based on Led Zep, I meant
that some of the things that happen to them were almost word for word
retellings of some of Zep's experiences. The plane incident, the band
bringing a kid on the road with them for an interview, "I am a golden
god", a sexual relationship with an under age groupie (a spade is a
spade, Penny Lane was a groupie and so was Lorie Maddox), other things
too.

Today I accidently stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of my house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a "shell" if
you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tin foil and paper bags.

I hate SUVs. Apparently, so does this guy.

I have heard about it but I haven't downloaded it. Mostly because I
hate waiting for something to download, and if it's not the real thing
then it doesn't seem worth the effort. I don't even let myself visit
theforce.net anymore because they have that method of whiting out
spoilers and I simply cannot keep myself from reading them. It's so
sad.
