To this day, every time I see her on an awards show, she terrifies me. If I saw her in the street I'd probably punch her in the face and run.

If Ruffalo is a master of all things magic, he'd have no problem forcing that file to land on his desk.

I think so. I was at a Q&A with the director and he wouldn't tell us. We begged.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but the review on rogerebert.com is by Simon Abrams. Can't find an actual review from Roger himself …?

The apparent originator of the word:

I have more, too, from my Q&A. No spoilers, I'll be vague.

What? No! The few of us on this thread that have seen it so far loved it. I saw it for free at work and want to go pay to see it again.

Troll 2 wasn't 'a thing' until Best Worst Movie came into existence. It's a self-indulgent attempt by the child star to milk some sort of fame out of something he did when he was 10. He's a terrible editor, too.

The most surprisingly painful thing was realizing I wasted two hours of my life on this attempt to make something of nothing. I saw this two years ago and I still lament about what I could have accomplished in those two hours.

Serves you right for reading any review before you see any movie. Why would you see Cooper, Gosling, Mendes and Cianfrance’s names and not just immediately go see it?

I'm the most hetero dude I know, but I'd turn that off for a day if Gosling was at my front door. Dude is a Rico Suave mf'er. I'd wreck that guy if given the chance.

They ugly her up real good for this one. :)

I will say that the length and breadth of this film is challenging, but rewarding. The stories are not disconnected more than they're laid end to end, with perhaps some time gaps in between.

I saw a screening of this with a director Q&A after and he actually talked a little about the cinematography and in general there is nothing about this production that was lazy. I was impressed enough with the movie before hearing him talk, and was even more impressed (especially with the balls of his second…

This was a pretty decent movie that could have almost been great. They couldn't decide whether they wanted to play it straight or play it campy, and the mix didn't work. Pick one extreme and stick to it. It could have been more fun.

Possible, sure, but not in the relaxed, casual, one-swallow way they do it in this travesty.

The tie thing was even more absurd because it was an 'up above' tie and shouldn't have been subject to the lower world's gravity at all. Unless I'm mistaking it for another tie, but I thought it was the one that Timothy Spall got him. I nearly laughed out loud when that happened.

I would almost think this was better as a sober movie night, MST3K style. I saw this in a theater with 'industry' and had to keep my trap shut, but there were so many times I wanted to yell things at the screen.

The gravity, or misunderstanding of it, has nothing to do with the central premise of the movie. It's just a device. The condescending voiceover at the beginning makes it clear that this is not supposed to be our world, that the physics rules are different, and that's just how it is.

In the Bluray extras, Damon Lindelof comes off as a huge dirtbag. He was hired to 'punch up' the script because the studio didn't want an un-produced writer's name on it. No way Damon worked on his part for a year, the original writer was involved pretty late into pre-production before it was taken from him and we all…
