Baha I was watching it with my friend, who's a guy and 17 years old, gay. He literally started biting his pillow...and I was just like "WOAH" I think that was the first time I ever saw a naked man in a movie. BAHA what an interesting experience that movie is...

I start hyperventilating from the moment he pours his drink on his naked chest and rubs it all over himself!

I first rented a VHS recording of it - which I ended up breaking by rewinding and pausing too much. Then I BOUGHT a VHS copy, and ended up breaking that, as well. Now we own the DVD

Thank goodness for technology, eh, DG?
Anyway, this Ewan chat has been wonderful, and now I'm off to bed! 'Night, everyone!

I'm torn on the movie. While the cast is great, I'm not too keen on Marc Foster's work as a director, and the buzz has been negative. I'll wait until I hear all of your reactions.

I may have to see it, eventhough I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on from the trailers. It's a bit confusing for me.

I'll see it because I'm curious, but I'm very skeptical. Forrester seems very limited as a director - and while I liked NEVERLAND, the direction was not good - and I hated MONSTER'S BALL. The cast intrigues me here, but after reading all the negative reviews, I'm not expecting much.

I honestly think that most reviewers just have no idea what the hell they saw. I thought it was pretty well done, and definitely a movie that needs to be watched again. Here's the thing, if you just take it at the surface, then the movie is meaningless - you really DO need to look at what Forester is trying to say (which is actually, to my mind, a very similar message to what he was saying in Finding Neverland). I'd love to hear other people's thoughts.
BTW -- Roger Ebert got it right in the last paragraph of his review. He didn't give it away, but I think he got it.

The only thing that bugs me though is that I have to drive like, an hour/45 minutes to go see it. The movie theaters closest to me don't have it, not even the Lowes Cinaplex. When I called they told me it was because of the "low celebrity power"..but..I mean almost EVERYONE knows Ryan Gosling from The Notebook and Naomi Watts is an Oscar-nominated actress. Pissed me off.
Anyway, regarding this as one of Ewan's movies, it has a lot better publicity than The Island. I hated how one of the producers blamed The Island's downfall on Ewan and Scarlett.
ANYHOO
I'm really excited. Honestly, I thought I knew what it was about but now I'm reading some reviews and I'm not so sure. Which makes it better I think, I'll be surprised.

And now I have to wait until next weekend because they wouldn't let me in. I've gotten into R-rated movies before but this one they wouldn't let me. Hmmph.
