The ending is certainly interesting and the story does and interesting job of straddeling the death penalty issue...one that I am personally conflicted about.

This is one movie I've not seen. I admire Sarandon's work a good deal, and I love TIm Robbins, but, I'm not sure I can sit through this movie. But, based on your comments, I think I should give it a go.

I wasn't aware any wacko activists were in the cast. I wouldn't recognize their names or faces.

I own this movie, but never watch it. Love it, but death penalty conundrum turns out to be something I'm never quite in the mood for.

I've always wanted to see it, but have had the same reaction you have, ISM.

As far as the cast, I could care less what they do on their own time. I watch Charlton Heston, Hugh Grant, Ronald Regan, Susan Sarandon etc for their acting. Well, maybe not Regan.

Yes, I'm sure you can find it playing somewhere in ... oh... what's the name of that burg you live in?

I finally saw Brokeback Mountain.

Wow.

It should have won.

It is the first DVD that I have watched in a very long time that I sat through without doing anything else.

I'm sure I'll have more later (about a year late) but I'm still processing it.

Amazing.

Wow.

POTC: DMC is #7 in all time Domestic. It just kicked 'Passion' out of the top 10. Amazing.

I was really tired last night, I had already stayed up too late and had to get up early. I made the mistake of turning on the TV. Comedy Central was playing Clerks uncut. So as much as I knew I needed to go to bed, I couldn't help but watch the movie. Needless to say, now at the end of the day, I'm tired.

Damn Comedy Central for playing decent movies late at night!
