I knew I could count on Freepers! Thank you ever so much.
It will be a 100 mile round trip drive, but I’ll be going tomorrow to a matinee.
You’re welcome! Freepers are a family, right?
Hey, at least if you go to the matinee, you’ll save a few bucks to compensate for all that gas you’ll be paying for — haha!
We plan to see it this weekend. If all goes well and feel it’s a good fit for a few of our older kids, they will be seeing it the following weekend.
- 2 out of 4 stars.
And you are?
It’s okay to nit pick once but twice is just too much. LOL
I am going to see it for the second time this Saturday...this time with my students.
I think that is great but be careful because if you can take your students to this movie, you can’t complain when a liberal teacher takes her students or shows her students in class a liberal movie. That is the only problem I have when teachers get political with their students. It really leaves you no ability to fight the other view.
Haven’t seen the movie (not sure where it’s released here down under). I have, however, been tempted to read the book. Not the worst book I have read (that distinction must go to Battlefield Earth), but readable nonetheless despite the quite two dimensional characters. I’m 2% of the way through - let’s see how far I get.
You really should read the Book first,most of the power is lost in the Movie,i read a good description of it as a cliff notes version of the book and that is true.
My daughter and i have read the book and my wife and my daughters boyfriend had not and both of them liked the movie but it was the same theme to them that they have seen before,BUSINESS MAN GREEDY AND POLITICIANS BAD.The whole character development was missing and all the back stories with each Character. Sadly I understand why the Producer had to rush it out or lose the rights to make the Movie but it really ,in my opinion, does a disservice to the POWER of the Book by leaving out so much
Guess I stuttered again!
Sure would have been nice if it were promoted even a little. I didn’t even know it was out until I read a piece by a libtard mocking the low box office draw.
or your mouse has a hair trigger.
Thanks for the link!
The movie is playing “in my area”, but I have to drive 100 miles round trip. With gas nearing $5 a gal in my area, my vehicle a gaz guzzler, and I have to pay a sitter it is prohibitive.
Meanwhile, really junky movies are playing in the three local cinemas. Yuck!
No, but it'll do great in DVD sales!

I saw it on On Demand. I was hoping it would be much better than it was. Characters cut from cardboard. Painfully tendentious storyline and dialogue. The novel wasn’t bad, I guess. The film was terrible.
Spoiler alert:
When they finally tracked down where all the factories had gone, it turned out all the machines and factories had been given to the communist Chinese, and all the Americans who worked on the machines have been fired.
They all lived unemployed ever after. And voted for Obama, because they no longer had jobs.
