[koriwhat]

damn fine movie!

I read about the fainting at screenings and such. I guess the difference between this and Saw or Hostel is that those movies always feel unrealistic and like live-action cartoons, while this movie feels very real and the emotions are very raw. I know there was one moment in particular during the amputation that was a bit unsettling, but overall it wasn't something I would get sick watching.

Saw and Hostel are more softcore torture porn than anything else aren't they?

Holy . James Franco is ing incredible. It's been awhile since I've seen a natural performance that's this good. Maybe Ryan Gosling in Half Nelson, or Bill Murray in Lost In Translation.

If they don't give him the Oscar, it may be the biggest travesties in the long history of Academy Award travesties.

The movie is great too, I think Boyle over-directed this one a tad, some parts got a little hint of ADD type Tony Scott-itis, but overall it was damn good.

Just finished watching it a few mins ago, and I can't help but concur w/ everything here (sans the Lost in Translation nonsense. I maintain to this day that that movie was terrible).

There were a few scenes where Boyle got a little carried away with his "artistic expression" (while Franco's character was starting to lose it), but nevertheless, this was a fantastic film.

It was good. I personally enjoyed into the wild better then this one though.

Haven't seen that one yet. Haven't really enjoyed Emile (sp?) in a role since The Girl Next Door.

I'm pulling for Franco to win Best Actor, but I'd still prefer The Social Network to snag the big one, my utter disdain for Eisenberg notwithstanding.

[DesignatedT]

Colin Firth already has best actor locked up. It's hard to say he doesn't deserve it also after seeing Kings Speech but I would like Franco to win as well.

I thought I was the only one that liked Into the Wild...

I recommended it to some people and half of them hated it...


I've yet to see 127 hours but it is on my list...

I'm sure The King's Speech is a fine film, and I have no doubt Colin does an outstanding job, but it simply seems wrapped up alll-too-nicely in Oscar paper. It's like years ago when The English Patient won. [shudder]

[MannyIsGod]

The Kings Speech is overrated, IMO, but I went into it expecting not to like it much so that might be giving my opinion some bias.

[The Reckoning]

127 hours was terrible. it was a movie about some guy squirting his load under a big rock.

[The Reckoning]

imo i think it was called 127 hours because thats how long it felt sitting through the movie

[DPG21920]

Into the Wild was good IMO. It resonated with me. I want to see 127 as well.

[JMarkJohns]

Into The Wild was one of the most important films I've seen. I'm currently writing my thesis on it.

Loved 127 Hours for some of the same reasons.

[leemajors]

Yes, he had to kill himself to realize you can't take Transcendentalists literally.

I know it sounds like a cop-out, but I think that was partly what the movie was trying to convey. The amount of time he was there...alone...hopeless...etc.

good movie but ugh, why would you write a thesis on a movie? how unoriginal

[JMarkJohns]

how unoriginal

Says the guy with the tough guy internet schtick.

[CuckingFunt]

Haven't really enjoyed Emile (sp?) in a role since The Girl Next Door.

That's about the only film of his that didn't impress me.

This should be watched by more people:

lol are you serious?

God I'd hate to see some of you're favorite movies..




127 hours was a great film... if you haven't watched it you should... but try to avoid watching it when there's idiots in the theaters mocking it... see above.

Into the Wild is an awesome movie.

Everyone seems to be jerking off to this movie but I can't bring myself to see a movie with this premise. I will be squirming wondering why that stupid did not have a cel phone all in movie.


Also, I'm beginning to think James Franco is not a human, but a robot or cyborg of some sort.

I think it happened in the early 2000's. Not everyone had a cell phone like today back then.

Yea you're right. It was in April 2003.

I'll watch the movie tomorrow, can't wait to see it.
