Well then, I can wait, too!

I didn't realize there was a push - we were going to see it this weekend too, should we wait?

It would be great to see it with a group, also.

It's getting really terrific reviews.

innerSpaceman · 11-26-2008, 02:32 PM

oh, please wait. I'll go see it with a group, even if you and Tom and me are that entire group.

Of course, more, merrier and all that.

Actually, the limited release box office is extremely important, too. (Often, expansions depend upon those numbers to know how wide they should release.)

How about this... we will be going this weekend... AND we will go with you on the 5th.

Milk
Five stars.
I started this thread about it.

NM and I both watched The Great Escape for the first time.

John Sturges, you had me at The Magnificent Seven. And thank you, thank you again for a young, shirtless Charles Bronson.

In all seriousness, it was a terrific film. And, having no familiarity whatsoever with the story on which it was based, far more depressing than I was expecting. I don't CARE how up-beat and "you can't keep a good man down!" the music was at the end.

Speaking of the music, Elmer Bernstein, you were AWESOME.

So, should I go to the free screening of Milk on Saturday?

Absolutely.
Get as many people as you can get in to go with you. Word of mouth will do wonders for this film.

CoasterMatt · 11-26-2008, 06:49 PM

Unfortunately, I can only get 1 other person in with me.

"Australia" = Beautiful Meh

Entertaining and enjoyable, but completely cornball. First 10 minutes full of Luhrmanisms, next 3 hours full of sap.
