What's great about it is that, other than perhaps the train scene, there's nothing that happens that you can point to as "weird" or "trippy", yet the whole thing feels like a psychedelic trip.

Not going to read all 600+ posts, but I am watching mr Magorians Wonder Emporioum, and I think that Dustin Hoffman is channeling Ed Wynn.

On finishing the movie I discover yet again that I enjoy being shamelessly manipulated emotionally by movies.

I watched that on the flight to Tokyo a couple years back, and approached it in full Scrooge mode, thinking "I am not going to be sucked into this" and ended up crying like a baby. I scarcely remember it now, though.

I finally got around to watching The Last Station. I'm truly sorry I did not see this on the big screen. Cinematography was absolutely glorious. Both Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer gave wonderful performances.

I enjoyed it as well. I saw it on the "big screen" in a multiplex in Los Feliz. The screen was around the size of my tv.

I wasn't bragging... I was complaining about the teeny screen in the theater. The movie itself was well worth the price of admission though.

Oh, sorry was not making myself clear. I got the complaint, but still envious that your TV is as big (or bigger) than the screen in a multiplex.

Still pretty large to me and I'd love to see this movie on a nice true widescreen (Cinerama Dome kind of screen)
