127 Hours (Official Thread)

[Until The Bombs]

Director: Danny Boyle

Starring: James Franco


It seems director has found the leading man for his about an incredibly brave mountain climber. According to Production Weekly's Twitter feed, has signed on to star in 127 Hours.

Franco will portray mountain climber Aron Ralston, who made national news in 2003 when he was forced to amputate his own arm that was crushed under a boulder for more than five days, while climbing in Utah. After the amputation, he had to climb a 65-foot wall of rock and hiked until he was discovered by a family and later rescued by helicopter.

The film was said to start production at the beginning of March in Utah.

[Genuma]

sounds kid of cliched in a way, but i love boyle and franco.

[PlayNiceKids]

hmm. so if its a two hour movie, does that mean that 40 minutes is his arm pinned? interested to see the story actually execueted

[bard]

love the director.
like the actor.

kind of interesting story. i'll see it.

[Smash Adams]

out November 5th

[Liam_Pace]

sounds kid of cliched in a way, but i love boyle and franco.


Really? It's based off a true story though.

[poppa Q]

I'm sure this will be heartwarming and Franco will be nominated for a Golden Globe or something, but come on Boyle...

[drudo182]

I think it sounds pretty cool. I think this is the movie that goes like an hour without any real dialogue.

[popdisaster00]

I'm excited for this. Even though you pretty much know the entire movie before you see it.

[Recovery Room]

I can't stand James Franco, so glad he didn't end up in Inception.

[Ailite]

This is probably going to be great

[drudo182]

I love Franco.

This and the ones where he teaches acting are so funny.

[SgtSmegma]

I can't stand James Franco, so glad he didn't end up in Inception.

Who was he supposed to play?

[Recovery Room]

Who was he supposed to play?
JGL's character.

[bard]

Crap, I wish he would've been in it. Other than Ellen Page, JGL was the weakest part of Inception.

[Recovery Room]

Crap, I wish he would've been in it. Other than Ellen Page, JGL was the weakest part of Inception.
You're probably the only one who feels that way.

[bard]

You're probably the only one who feels that way.
Hardly. All he was was an exposition machine. Almost every character had little depth, but his was probably the least amount.

And he's not that great of an actor. Not bad necessarily, but nothing incredible. Tom Hardy was way better than him.

James Franco could have brought something interesting to a bland character.

I still loved the movie though.

[Wake Up]

Spent several mounts out in the utah desert, love the scenery. Will be seeing this movie regardless.

[SgtSmegma]

JGL's character.

I could actually see that. JGL played it very well though

[MADSTA]

And he's not that great of an actor.
Get the fuck outta here.

[bard]

Get the fuck outta here.
Come on, he's nothing special. Generic actor.

[Thomas Balkcom]

while he's right that JGL was nothing special in Inception, he's an exceptional actor.

[Jonathan Bautts]

The teaser's not the best thing I've ever seen, but Danny Boyle's one of my favorites and it didn't do anything to damped my enthusiasm. I bet the full-length trailer will be a lot better. Can't wait til Nov 5th. And JGL is one of my favorites, too.

[Bob Payne]

I was thoroughly teased by that. Thoroughly.

[Wake Up]

Come on, he's nothing special. Generic actor.

I'm not sure you've seen many of his standout performances. Not the kid is the next Hoffman, but he did a great job in Brick, Mysterious Skin, and The Lookout.

[irthesteve]

slightly interested

[flask]

Aron Rolston has balls of iron. I can't wait to see this.

[drudo182]

That teaser is awesome. Cannot wait now.

[MADSTA]

[A_Time_To_Get]

This looks amazing. I love Franco.

[terrycw89]

The new trailer is so good. I cant wait to see this.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/127hours/

[bard]

I don't want to watch anymore trailers for this. Just going to see it when it comes out.

[irthesteve]

Wasn't in love with the first trailer, but now I'm pulled in

[Chemical Love]

The new trailer is so much better. Makes me want to actually see the movie.

[Star Slight]

Looks great

[Until The Bombs]

Wow. Forgot I made this thread. Looking forward to the film.

[popdisaster00]

So excited to see this

[crit]

Can't wait.

[FondestMemory]

Come on, he's nothing special. Generic actor.

Watch hesher and try to call him a generic actor.

I dont think hes as great as most people do, but hes definitely very talented.

[bard]

Just read another review over at http://www.filmjunk.com/2010/10/13/127-hours-review/ and I'm officially excited. This reviewer has some pretty high standards, considering his other reviews, but the score and the way he describes this movie excites me so much.

There aren't spoilers in that review, but gives away a couple things I wish I didn't know though.

[I am Mick]

I don't think this is opening anywhere near me this weekend, such a bummer. Really need to see this

[bNz719]

So excited for this but it's not playing around here at all. :-(

[Mitch]

94% on RT.

[jwicklun]

Getting fantastic reviews. Definitely going to see this.

[muttley]

Really want to see this.

[MADSTA]

Wow that second trailer is awesome. Too bad it def won't be playing anywhere here.

[pshh]

screenplay is amazingly riveting, cannot wait to see this

[muttley]

Doesn't look like it's playing anywhere in Arizona. Bummer!

[Smash Adams]

Soo Franco is incredible and this movie is gorgeous. really short though like under 90 minutes short

[I am Mick]

I don't understand why this opened so limited. James Franco and an Oscar winning director/writer?

[IAmAmazing]

Had a free pass to see this tonight, decided I couldn't.

[Until The Bombs]

Slumdog opened on 10 screens. This will spread as well.

[bNz719]

I hope so. I'm really wanting to see this movie asap.

[I am Mick]

Slumdog opened on 10 screens. This will spread as well.

Slumdog never opened near me lol

[Until The Bombs]

Slumdog never opened near me lol

Oh, me neither. But after a few weeks it was in Philly then every theatre in my area had it. Sucks that it's how they do it, but definitely has to do with the idea of keeping supply limited to keep interest, and thus demand, high. Between the director, the reviews, and the somewhat famous star, it won't be too long before the general public starts seeing it and talking about it.

[Full Effect Ed]

Its getting a wider release in 2 weeks

[bradsonemanband]

Utah represent!

[-Aaron-]

Heard the editing/cinematography really distracts from the performance Franco gives at certain times.

[ryanwilcox]

i kinda want to see this movie.

[CubbyNick42]

I can't wait to see this.

[n1asfan]

I can't stand James Franco, so glad he didn't end up in Inception.

I love James...but I agree about Inception. Joseph Gordon Levitt was perfect

[sodamnclever]

Really hoping this gets released in more theaters. Definitely want to see this.

[thesollopsist]

Can't wait to see this. Danny Boyle is an awesome director.

[RonStoppable]

Pretty good. More style than substance, I'd say. But that's my only gripe. Boyle and Franco are talented.

[Prestonxsmith]

It's coming to Atlanta soon. I seriously cannot wait.

[8SlicesOfPie]

Saw it tonight and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

When he hit that nerve, my god.

And the talk show bit was probably my favorite scene.

[stayillogical]

When the Band of Horses song kicks in in the trailer, it gets to me every time. I could see this tomorrow for free but I need to make line for the HP premiere.

[popdisaster00]

Is this gonna open wide soon or what?

[Thomas Balkcom]

I'm seeing this either Friday or Saturday morning.

[meeotch]

Think I'm gonna try and catch this tomorrow sans girlfriend. I'm excited.

[KidRobot]

Really riveting movie. Loved it.

[Hamburglar]

Probably going to see this tomorrow, it's playing in a theater on the other side of town. It's about a 45 minute drive, but what the hell else would I be doing?

It looks great, I'm excited.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Heard the editing/cinematography really distracts from the performance Franco gives at certain times.

editing especially. Really good film though.

[imfancyhuh]

is this only getting released in select theaters? i hate that shit.

[SgtSmegma]

Might go this weekend. Its playing right down the road from me

[jdr2187]

Might go this weekend. Its playing right down the road from me

I see your in Nashville, which theatre is it playing at??

[SgtSmegma]

I see your in Nashville, which theatre is it playing at??

Green Hills

[meeotch]

Aaagggh. I'm moving back to NC soon so I've got to see it while I'm still here in DC.

[I am Mick]

I saw a list that said this was opening near me today, still not at my local theater. uggghhhh

[flask]

Go see this now if you have the chance. Must see on the big screen.

[Until The Bombs]

Woot! With a thirty minute drive. Will have to catch this weekend.

[CstSnow]

Still bummed that this isn't playing anywhere within an hour of me. Not even San Jose which is a pretty major market, if this doesn't change soon it will end up being an excuse to go into SF for a weekend.

[Indoor Living]

Haven't seen this yet, but really wanting to. Oscar buzz for Franco?

[QuikTrig]

Saw it tonight and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

When he hit that nerve, my god.

And the talk show bit was probably my favorite scene.

that was one of the most disturbing scenes i've ever seen. even a week later, still thinking about the scene makes me cringe.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't think it was great. it was good, but not great. a lot of viewers, especially those who don't have a hard-on for boyle or franco, will find it boring.

[Hamburglar]

Saw it today, what an incredible story.

I don't see how anyone could find it boring, it kept me engaged the entire time.

[Sneak Peek]

Just got back from this and loved it. Pulls on all your emotions. james franco was outstanding, and I actually thought the editing and cinematography helped drive some of the scenes where franco wasn't necessarily talking/acting a lot.

[imonlysleeping]

I wanna see this so bad but nothing good comes near me.

[pleasedontpanic]

Movie was absolutely brilliant.

[thesollopsist]

I can't wait to see this

[Avalanche1]

We have a Sundance theater in Madison so I'm going to check this out tonight. Really excited.

[deadkidsean]

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Oh man. Need to see it again. Just got out, need to see it again. Wow.

[bNz719]

Someone on AP mentioned this would be getting a wide release on December 3rd, but I can't find anything on it. Can anyone confirm?

[pleasedontask]

If it comes town, for those who saw it, is it definately worth seeing?

[Avalanche1]

If it comes town, for those who saw it, is it definately worth seeing?

Definitely yes. My theater was packed and I really enjoyed it. James Franco was really good.

[Chemical Love]

Sounds like this is great. Really excited to see it.

[I am Mick]

Fuck all of you that get to see this. I wish my theater wasn't such garbage

[deadkidsean]

Why did he eat the contact lenses? I don't wear them or know anyone very closely that does ... was he looking for the liquid of the solution or something?


And man, did I cry like a fucking child when he was finally found, music started playing, helicopter, etc.. The emotions that he was going through the entire 4 days and how incredible Franco portrayed it hit me like a sack of shit right in the face all at the end there and I honestly lost it. It was like a, "YES! YES! YES! Finally, it's over! He's saved!" cry, though, not a sad-cry.So good. Loved it to pieces. My movie of the year at this (very early) point.

[stayillogical]

Going tomorrow. Very excited.

I may have missed it, but I didn't think he ate the lenses. And I agree with the ending, such an emotional scene. The Sigur Ros song was an amazing choice for that scene. James Franco did great.

ate them for the small amount of nutrients they may have had in them.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Saw this tonight. Brilliant movie. I actually think technically speaking, this one of Boyle's best directed movies. The Gatorade shot was really brilliant and I love the back and forth between Aron's hallucinations and memories. Franco did a really solid job of handling it I have to say. The ending though...with the pool scene. It got to me. Best use of Sigur Ros in a movie. Kinda of surprised how much I liked and the more I think of it, the more I think of how great it was done.

He was just cleaning it off so he could put it back on his eye...

[Avalanche1]

When I was seeing Unstoppable tonight in one of our main, bigger theaters, they had a poster up for 127 Hours that said coming soon so there's more proof to the wide release.

I still think Life Aquatic has my favorite use of a Sigur Ros song but this was great too.

I thought he was just putting it in his mouth to get them wet again or whatever. May have missed the fact that he ate them at some point though?

Thought this movie was fantastic. Definitely Franco's best work to date. Some really amazing scenes. Agreed on the gatorade scene too - amazing. Even simple shots like placing a camera inside of the water bottle, or the scene showing the knife in his arm from under the skin, or when he had to drink his piss, just the way Boyle chooses to show these simple things to you are so interesting and inventing. Also, amazing ending.

[rhetoricjams]

man this movie didn't even get released near me....

[Avalanche1]

man this movie didn't even get released near me....

Don't worry, it's coming.

[weplayendlessly]

Saw it last night. It was incredible, I loved every minute of it. I loved that I could feel the people in theatre tense up and relax at the same time.
The talk show scene was awesome. Sorry if thats a spoiler to anyone but I cant figure out how to do the black out text haha.

[colorlesscliche]

[*spoiler] text [/ *spoiler] just take out the *

[williek311]

Sigur Ros at the end gave me chills. Fucking perfect.

[DickfaceChillah]

Fuck all of you that get to see this. I wish my theater wasn't such garbage

You live in Pittsburgh and this movies not showing anywhere near you? The theater list says it's playing in your city.

Thanks guys. I wanna see it again already. Shit was entertaining, I didnt want it to end.

[I am Mick]

You live in Pittsburgh and this movies not showing anywhere near you? The theater list says it's playing in your city.

I know, I was expecting it to be everywhere but it's playing like one theater which is far away and since I'm such an awful driver I'd probably die in the process of getting there

[Recovery Room]

How graphic is "the scene"?

Feel free to spoiler it for me.

[stayillogical]

How graphic is "the scene"?

Feel free to spoiler it for me.

I didn't think it was very graphic at all. You don't see the split at all. There's a lot of blood and struggling, but that's pretty much it. It's not unnecessarily gory.

[weplayendlessly]

How graphic is "the scene"?

Feel free to spoiler it for me.

Its not that bad, its not overly gory. Its pretty much exactly what it would look like. But itll make you cringe more than any of those shitty Saw movies.

[DickfaceChillah]

I know, I was expecting it to be everywhere but it's playing like one theater which is far away and since I'm such an awful driver I'd probably die in the process of getting there

Bummer. I feel your pain. It starts a town over from me next week and I don't drive. I might hitch, haha.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

One thing to say about the scene, the audio is far more graphic than the actual visual of it.

[muttley]

Finally playing in a theatre about 40 miles away. Gotta' make my way over there soon.

[pshh]

MAN i feel so intense after that movie... I have my money on Franco for the Oscar..

if anyone's read the script, i really wish the use of Phish and the whole live concert in the headphones was played out more. i have no complaints about the movies soundtrack at all though, fantastic movie all around.

[muttley]

Might have to unsubscribe until I see this. I've already read too much, and that excludes the spoilers.

[Thomas Balkcom]

To be honest, I thought "the scene" was one of the worst parts of the whole movie. That being said, I really did enjoy the film.

[zion the lion]

I'm going to maybe see this next week...or wait until it comes out on dvd. I dont know if I can spare the $17 it is for a movie ticket.

[Avalanche1]

I'm going to maybe see this next week...or wait until it comes out on dvd. I dont know if I can spare the $17 it is for a movie ticket.

Seriously, $17? If that really is ticket prices where you are, that is fucked up.

[zion the lion]

Seriously, $17? If that really is ticket prices where you are, that is fucked up.

It's the ticket price at the new theater which is the only place where this movie is playing. $4 more for imax and then some extra for 3D, which is why I havent seen any new movies. We also have a $3 theater, but the movies come out there a few months after the release date.

[SgtSmegma]

Going to see it tomorrow. Will report back

[TJ Wells]

After seeing this, in my mind the Best Actor field is Franco, and then everyone else.

[thesollopsist]

I can't wait to see this. James Franco is awesome


I'm still hoping for a freaks and geeks reunion

[tonyt3524]

man this was an amazing movie from beginning to end. Franco did a phenomenal job

[CruiseControl]

Loved this movie. It was so raw and emotional, totally amazing. I just really hated "the scene", the audio they played for it really made it ten times worse

[SgtSmegma]

Just saw it. Really enjoyed it. 8/10

Agreed with everyone who said the talk show scene was great.

[TJ Wells]

The shot of the first girl (Kate Mara) falling into the pool of water was one of the most beautiful shots I've seen this year.

[RiCCioLi]

Finally got to see this. Loved it! 8/10

what was the preminition though

[Until The Bombs]

Didn't catch. Assume the theatre will still have next weekend.

[SgtSmegma]

Definitely felt a lot of Into the Wild while watching this

[drudo182]

Comes here this weekend. Looking forward to catching it.

[JordanBuell]

My friend puked during the scene. Crazy. I loved the movie though.

[RiCCioLi]

Just got the soundtrack and it just reminds me of how badly I need to see this again.

[popdisaster00]

My friend puked during the scene. Crazy. I loved the movie though.
Puked, really? Wow

[deadkidsean]

Puked, really? Wow

I got a bit light headed during one particular part of the scene. It's done really well.

For those that have seen it: breaking of the tendon

[SgtSmegma]

My friend puked during the scene. Crazy. I loved the movie though.

I don't see how people have been vomiting and passing out due to that scene. It really isn't that bad at all. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be.

[deadkidsean]

I don't see how people have been vomiting and passing out due to that scene. It really isn't that bad at all. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be.

What did you expect? It was literally a guy cutting off his arm.

[SgtSmegma]

What did you expect? It was literally a guy cutting off his arm.

I mean it wasn't like a still shot of him hacking away at his arm and blood spewing and pumping out of the wound for 4 straight minutes. I never felt a need to look away from the screen, and that type of thing has a propensity to make me queasy.

[FigureItOut]

Finally gonna get to see this. But not until January 7th.

[TJ Wells]

I got a bit light headed during one particular part of the scene. It's done really well.

For those that have seen it: breaking of the tendon
Yup, that's what made me just look away for the remainder of the moment.

[TheSpaceAge]

Saw this on Saturday and thought it was great! I thought I would have to look away for "the scene," but I was so engrossed in the movie that I couldn't. Franco is pretty excellent throughout. Definitely an Oscar-worthy performance.

[popdisaster00]

I got a bit light headed during one particular part of the scene. It's done really well.

For those that have seen it: breaking of the tendon

Yep, that part was terrible. or hearing the bone snap

[Macbeth.]

Finally got to see this. Loved it! 8/10

what was the preminition though

He saw his unborn son and realized he has more to fight for than the pleasures in his own life - this kid won't exist if he doesn't get out of the situation, he owes it to him.

[Macbeth.]

I wanted to say Franco had an incredible performance, but rather I find myself thinking "That was some really great casting" -- The acting didn't stand out to me as much as the seamless fit between story and cast

[Wake Up]

Enjoyed this a lot.

[I am Mick]

Just saw Inside The Actors Studio with Franco, made me more furious I haven't seen this yet

[_ozymandias]

I saw this last night, and thought it was great. Loved the talk show scene, and how well they showed his mental state.

The only thing I didn’t really like was how they pointed out the rock before it crushed him. I would have liked it to have been more abrupt or out of nowhere, but that’s just me being picky.

[colorlesscliche]

Man, this is such an amazing story. Franco did an outstanding job, sound effects were top notch, and the ending was incredibly moving.

[Mitch]

Franco was great in this.

[Mitch]

i think trainspotting and 28 days later will always be my favorite boyle movies but this was pretty good. the ending was fantastic as was the talk show scene.

[stayillogical]

Did anyone else think of Arrested Development at the end? "And that's why you always leave a note."

[Avalanche1]

Did anyone else think of Arrested Development at the end? "And that's why you always leave a note."

Haha I didn't think of that but now that is hilarious.

[Fourchordwonder]

Did anyone else think of Arrested Development at the end? "And that's why you always leave a note."

My girlfriend quoted that exact line to her friend after she saw it.

[stayillogical]

My girlfriend quoted that exact line to her friend after she saw it.

Yeah, I said that to my sister as we walked out but she wouldn't get it. She calls AD that show with a weird family I tried to force her to watch.

[muttley]

Today... Hopefully.

[muttley]

Loved everything about this movie. Would have had some waterworks but I didn't want to be a pussy in front of all 12 viewers.

[fightinirish217]

Just watched this, fantastic film. I'm a big Franco fan and he was perfect for it. The ending was very moving, I teared up. What a powerful story.

[rhetoricjams]

Don't worry, it's coming.
nope over a month later and it never came. damnit. :(

[Avalanche1]

nope over a month later and it never came. damnit. :(

Shit, that sucks. Guess you'll have to hold out til it'd out on video or watch it online.

[Wake Up]

nope over a month later and it never came. damnit. :(

that's what she said

hehehehehe

[muttley]

Got two movie tickets for Christmas. Might go blow both of them on this.

Edit: Isn't playing at Harkins anymore. :bluesad:

[rhetoricjams]

Shit, that sucks. Guess you'll have to hold out til it'd out on video or watch it online.
kind of a shame that I'm going to turn to piracy instead of supporting some industry folk I favor over most others...but by any damn means necessary ima get mah franco

[irthesteve]

leaked, now I can finally watch this fucker

[narcoleptic953]

leaked, now I can finally watch this fucker

About damn time!

[irthesteve]

my fucking god that movie was intense, the last 15-20 minutes had me covering my face, tearing up, and smiling.

Amazing score/soundtrack as well

[thesollopsist]

leaked, now I can finally watch this fucker
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[narcoleptic953]

Will be watching this (and a lot of other things I've downloaded in the past few days) when I get a free couple of hours.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Fantastic movie.

[8SlicesOfPie]

Loved this even more the second time I saw it.

[coreysetfail]

leaked, now I can finally watch this fucker

the leak that i got is extremely scratchy. did you have the same problem?

[irthesteve]

the leak that i got is extremely scratchy. did you have the same problem?
not at all, got mine off pass the popcorn and it's perfect dvd quality

[Paulie4star]

I remember seeing the actual amputee on Letterman when I was young.

[deadkidsean]

Can't wait to watch again -- probably my 3rd favorite film of the year. But I'll wait for Blu-ray. Support indie filmmaking, appreciate Anthony Dod Mantle's incredible camera work the way it should be appreciated.

[Thomas Balkcom]

oh yeah, a definite BD purchase.

[irthesteve]

Listening to the soundtrack rigth now, it's very well crafted and A.R.'s songs are awesome

[deadkidsean]

The last scene with Sigur Ros playing. Man, I was sobbing like you fucking read about.

[I am Mick]

[RiCCioLi]

[Kyle Huntington]

Just finished watching this and absolutely loved it. Already want to sit and watch it again.

[sodamnclever]

Finally watched this. Franco was incredible.

[muttley]

The last scene with Sigur Ros playing. Man, I was sobbing like you fucking read about.

That's the one that got me going.

This. Got me incredibly worked up. Such a fantastic ending to a great film.

[deadkidsean]

This. Got me incredibly worked up. Such a fantastic ending to a great film.

I honestly can't explain my reaction or why I reacted that way. Just so overwhelmed, happy, exhausted. Cried like a baby and loved every minute. Fuck, I wish I could see it in theaters again.

Yeah, exactly. Just overwhelmed is the best why I think to describe, such a great conclusion to an exhausting experience. Wish this had played around me..

[SeanEBoy2686]

Can either of you let me know where you found it? I was unable to see it in theaters and I want to see it before the Oscars.

[muttley]

Really, really tempted to make the trip and see this again.

Nice. Gotta admit that this was particularly awesome seeing in theaters though.

[jusscali]

Definitely the best thing I've seen this year. Balled like a little bitch at the end. Holy shit.

[muttley]

Edit: Yeah, this seems to be playing everywhere tomorrow.

[MADSTA]

Got so teary at the end. What a great movie.

[MADSTA]

Did anyone else think of Arrested Development at the end? "And that's why you always leave a note."
Turned to my friend and said that exactly haha.

[seraph1214]

Finally got to watch this and my goodness, this was a great film. Would love to see it in theaters next time.

[funnydave]

Definitely the best thing I've seen this year. Balled like a little bitch at the end. Holy shit.

same here. the music was so perfect, it pushed me right over the edge.

[itsmesean0630]

Such a good movie, Franco was absolutely fantastic. The ending was so wonderful. Boyle is an amazing director.

[pleasedontask]

Seeing this along with King's Speech and maybe Rabbit Hole tomorrow, excited as hell.

[joelabz]

Might watch this on Friday, flicked through it the other day and man it looked intense, should be good.

[TJ Wells]

And thus continues the trend of directors being rewarded for their lesser efforts and ignored for their greater ones.

I still enjoy Slumdog though.

[A7XXX]

I finally got my wish and saw this tonight. Even though I already know what happened my eyes were glued to the screen the entire movie including all the ugly parts. Well done Boyle. I might consider reading the book after this
I love the thunder/raining part
James is so adorable

[Orgasamtastic]

Just caught this film today and all I gotta say it isn't an Oscar nominee for no reason. Never truly appreciated Franco up until this masterpiece!

[muttley]

Maybe I'm not in the loop, but since when are movies so expensive? Will buy anyway.

[Jaimehere]

watched this yesterday, i was squirming all through-out the scene where he cuts his arms off X-)

nevertheless great movie

[bNz719]

nevertheless great movie

Spoiler it for those who haven't seen it, please.

[Jaimehere]

though I thought everyone already knew about that since it was on the news long ago

[bNz719]

Yeah, I'm sure most people already know about it. I haven't seen the movie yet but I know of 'the scene' already too.

[muttley]

While I appreciate the spoiler protection, was this one really necessary?

Edit: didn't realize this conversation was already going on

[ImTheSheriff]

if you don't know he cuts his arm off yet, you are a moron.

[deadkidsean]

Spoiler it for those who haven't seen it, please.
What? Hahahahaha.

[Smash Adams]

Don't tell anyone that Zuckerberg kid invents facebook in the Social Network

[Jaimehere]

hahahaha well I just did what he asked for so i put a spoiler on it

[Avalanche1]

Better to spoiler tag it than to not. Just because probably everyone knows about that scene doesn't mean everyone does. I don't think it's too big of an inconvenience for you guys to roll your cursor over it.

[irthesteve]

James Franco stars in the film 127 Hours, he cuts his own arm off. It is in the movie.

[itsmesean0630]

I was watching Control and during I was just wondering if Ian Curtis would ever get better and stop being all depressed. Totally didn't see the killing himself thing coming...

[deadkidsean]

Yes. It means everyone does. What are you even saying?

[Avalanche1]

Yes. It means everyone does. What are you even saying?

No, not everyone knows that. Is it really that big of a deal if it's spoiler tagged?

[deadkidsean]

No, not everyone knows that. Is it really that big of a deal if it's spoiler tagged?

Why the fuck would anyone watch a movie if they don't know the single reason why the movie was even made? I agree, human beings are stupid, but you're really selling us short, duder. Of course it isn't, but that's not the point. Point is, anyone that considers that a spoiler is an asshole themselves. It doesn't make the scene any less compelling or disturbing or graphic.

Maybe because they heard the movie was really good so they went and saw it. I've seen movies that way before, doesn't make me an asshole at all.

I can't imagine watching a movie without knowing the plot at least kind of

Yes it does.

[Avalanche1]

I'm not saying I do it all the time because now I always look up movies before I see them. But a few years ago when I wasn't as big into movies I saw a couple movies without knowing what they were about.


Yes it does.

That deadkidsean is a real asshole.

DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE NOTICE MEREDITH VEIRA OFFERING TO POLISH A COUPLE OF STATUES????
lol

[muttley]

Just as good the second time around. Still love, "It's no Slurpee. It's like a bag of piss."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCMVzgJvioM
That's the one that got me going.
Got this song confused with the Dido track. From the part where he kind of wakes up and realizes he has to cut through his arm to where he actually starts the process ruined me. Cried like a motherfucker.

[eisforaccidnt]

Saw this yesterday, it was amazing.

[JuneJuly]

'Off the Map' ripped this off tonight.

[muttley]

Had to catch this one more time before it goes to my pathetic 20" TV.

[stayillogical]

'Off the Map' ripped this off tonight.

I saw the commercial and I think the doctors severed someone's limb in order to help someone who was stuck, not even as if that person severed his or her own limb. The former situation happens in movies and television a lot, I don't think they ripped off anything.

I hate when there's a comparison to something recent like it's the only one of its kind. For example, people comparing Battle: Los Angeles to Independence Day as if it's the only movie about alien invasion. Just saying.

Yeah, I get your point I just thought it was a little fishy because of how recently 127 Hours came out.

[kwsqd]

Wow. I just watched this yesterday... what an incredible movie. Great directing, great acting by Franco, and the ending was tremendous. It was very nice to hear Sigur Ros in there.

[Paulie4star]

Was going to go see this while I was over here in Korea. 20 minutes late :-( Thought some of you might get a kick out of it being out over here, but only in select cities back in the U.S.

[Lueda Alia]

This was pretty great. Franco's performance was amazing, and I think Danny Boyle is slowly becoming one of my favourite directors.

[robat19]

Watching this now.

and this made me laugh.

[Genuma]

finally saw this tonight at the cheap theater after putting it off for a long time. i'll just echo everyone else on it being great.

[muttley]

Still need to get the soundtrack.

[Brandon Allin]

Finally seeing this tonight. Absolutely stoked.

[MADSTA]

I got to watch this with a friend who had heard nothing about it and didn't know the story at all. Her reactions to everything were priceless.
