Milk

[jwelborn]

the new film from Gus Van Sant. The trailer was just released today check it out over at http://www.slashfilm.com/

[drudo182]

Ohhh, yes. Finally. Going to watch now!

[drudo182]

That looks incredible. Van Sant rarely disappoints.

Up there as my most anticipated.

[Ailite]

Finally!

Trailer looks great, I love how focused it is on the music. I can't wait for this, its just behind Benjamin Button in my book.

[gloriousmuse]

Beat me to it!

This looks great. I really can't wait to see this.


Is it me or has Sean Penn lost weight for this role?

[eraserhead]

this looks very promising.

[Ailite]

Beat me to it!

This looks great. I really can't wait to see this.


Is it me or has Sean Penn lost weight for this role?
Oh he definitely definitely has. He looks great (not really) but for the role I mean.

[drudo182]

Sean Penn did look skinnier than usual.

It's weird to see a trailer for this because you can tell it's going to be more commercial than his (GVS) last four films.

Wish Paranoid Park was out. I want to see it again.

[Ailite]

I didn't see Paranoid Park but I loved Elephant, the ending was so brutal.

[drudo182]

Elephant is wonderful. I'd rank PP right after it when talking about his last four.

[Jessooker]

emile!

looks great. I love the cast.

[drudo182]

emile!

looks great. I love the cast.

I know! I love his glasses. I have black ones like that, only wayyy smaller. I need to upgrade (or downgrade???).

I think Franco looks rad in this.

[jwelborn]

I have never been disappointed with GVS, this is at the top of my most anticipated list.

[drudo182]

I have never been disappointed with GVS, this is at the top of my most anticipated list.

What about Last Days? That one drove me nuts.

[jwelborn]

What about Last Days? That one drove me nuts.

Ahh, completely forgot about that film. I try to block it out, I couldn't even finish it.

[drudo182]

Ahh, completely forgot about that film. I try to block it out, I couldn't even finish it.

Gotta at least finish it!

[Chris M.]

Looks good. The only GVS film I've seen is Good Will Hunting, but this looks interesting. Great cast too.

[drudo182]

Ohh, you should see all of his movies. He's great.

[Jessooker]

I really liked Gerry for some reason.

[drudo182]

I really liked Gerry for some reason.

Cause it's good?

[terrycw89]

I like the movies of his (GVS) that I have seen and Milk has a great cast, so I'll probably watch this when it comes out.

[Chris M.]

Ohh, you should see all of his movies. He's great.

Any that you'd recommend I start with?

[jwelborn]

Any that you'd recommend I start with?

Drugstore Cowboy, Elephant, and My Own Private Idaho.

[.invisible ink.]

i did not like Elephant but loved Drugstore Cowboy.

[AShannon04]

I wrote a paper about GVS in my final semester of college in a politics and film class.

This looks awesome. Emile Hirsch, James Franco, Josh Brolin, and Sean Penn? Hell yeah.

Did anyone else think that James Franco looks a bit like Heath Ledger in some of those shots?

[Jessooker]

Cause it's good?

yes, but a lot of people don't seem to think so.

[drudo182]

Any that you'd recommend I start with?

I always like to start from the beginning. Drugstore Cowboy was his first full-length. I'd go with that one.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001814/

There's his filmography.

Thanks. I'll try downloading some of these tomorrow.

... or maybe I'll finally get around to getting a Netflix account. Hah.

[Jesse00]

fuck ya, diego luna! this film looks good. I'm definitely gonna look into this.

[From: Skulls]

Damn this looks fantastic.

[doyouhas?]

i hate sean penn but this looks great. paranoid park was wonderful, so im excited to see something new.

[Bob Payne]

Looks good. Glad to see Diego Luna in this, Y Tu Mama Tambien is one of my favorite movies.

[Smash Adams]

doesn't James Franco pretty much get naked in this? do want

[jwelborn]

doesn't James Franco pretty much get naked in this? do want

I was reading somewhere, where he wore prosthetics like in Boogie Nights. So he probably does.

[popdisaster00]

i hate sean penn but this looks great. paranoid park was wonderful, so im excited to see something new.
why do you hate sean penn?

i am stoked for this movie

[dissident]

i hate sean penn

i can't seem to wrap my mind around this.

this movie looks promising.

[drudo182]

Sean Penn is one of my favorite actors. That dude completely owns the screen in every role.

"Is that my daughter in there?!?!"

[Jessooker]

sean penn annoys me, but he's a great actor.

[drudo182]

sean penn annoys me, but he's a great actor.

You know who kind of annoys me?

You.

[eraserhead]

Sean Penn is one of my favorite actors. That dude completely owns the screen in every role.

"Is that my daughter in there?!?!"
raw acting power in that scene.

[drudo182]

raw acting power in that scene.

Breaks my heart every time. Darn that Sean Penn.

[Jessooker]

You know who kind of annoys me?

You.

i heart you too.

[drudo182]

i heart you too.

Only kidding!

Have you thought about when you're going to watch Almost Famous?

[Jessooker]

Only kidding!

Have you thought about when you're going to watch Almost Famous?

yeah when i either pick it up or find someone who has it so i can borrow it.

[eraserhead]

Breaks my heart every time. Darn that Sean Penn.
that whole movie kills me, really. GAHHH TIM ROBBINS WHY

[altemose09]

ghostbusters 3?

[chokeychicken]

shit. just watched the trailer. this looks like an AWESOME movie.

[drudo182]

http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/milk/

Trailer in HD.

[AP_Punk]

Can't wait to see this.

[Yes. And?]

Looks great.

[Ailite]

Has anyone seen any posters for this around?

[drudo182]

I haven't yet but I haven't been to the movies in like a month.

[Ailite]

I haven't yet but I haven't been to the movies in like a month.
I don't blame you, not many good release. Next week is looking good though.

I can't find any on the internet, I guess there are none yet.

[pshh]

Looks so promising after that trailer. SF ftw

[drudo182]

I don't blame you, not many good release. Next week is looking good though.

I can't find any on the internet, I guess there are none yet.

Last movie I saw in theatres was Pineapple Express.

Next thing I want to see is probably Burn After Reading.

[Ailite]

Last movie I saw in theatres was Pineapple Express.

Next thing I want to see is probably Burn After Reading.
Same with me, I can't wait to see that this weekend. In the last 3 weeks I've seen Tropic Thunder, Traitor and Hamlet 2. That's not a lot for me.... but that will be changing starting next weekend.

[drudo182]

What else is coming out you want to see? And is Burn going wide this weekend? Err, next I guess?

[Ailite]

What else is coming out you want to see? And is Burn going wide this weekend? Err, next I guess?
Burn After Reading this weekend and Riteous Kill (not expecting much but still want to see it). Towelhead next weekend too but my theater won't get that.
Appaloosa and The Duchess the week after that
On the 26th we have Blindess, Miracle At St. Anna, Choke, and Eagle Eye

and with October theres something every weekend

[drudo182]

From that list I got Burn After Reading, Blindness (maybe...), Miracle At St. Anna (Spike Lee owns) and Eagle Eye.

Choke is hit or miss with me. Not sure how that will turn out.

[Ailite]

From that list I got Burn After Reading, Blindness (maybe...), Miracle At St. Anna (Spike Lee owns) and Eagle Eye.

Choke is hit or miss with me. Not sure how that will turn out.
I'll see everyone that comes to my theater, which I believe will be all of them. Eagle Eye and Choke seem alright, I expect them to be fun. The others are going to be great though.

[drudo182]

Miracle has some serious hype from me. I can't wait to see that one. I think Eagle Eye will end up being tons of fun and I'll see anything Shia does.

[Adrian Villagomez]

This has Oscar written all over it.

[drudo182]

This has Oscar written all over it.

Penn and Van Sant for sure.

Hirsche maybe for a supporting nod? Maybe even Franco. Who knows.

[Adrian Villagomez]

Penn and Van Sant for sure.

Hirsche maybe for a supporting nod? Maybe even Franco. Who knows.Yes yes yes.

[drudo182]

Something tells me the script will get a nod too.

Danny Elfman is doing the score and he can pump out magic for sure.

[Ailite]

Miracle has some serious hype from me. I can't wait to see that one. I think Eagle Eye will end up being tons of fun and I'll see anything Shia does.
I love Disturbia, I had such a great time watching that film, so I'm thinking Eagle Eye will be really fun.

This does indeed have Oscar all over it. Its the first gay film (fuck you Chuck and Larry) since Brokeback.

[drudo182]

I love Disturbia, I had such a great time watching that film, so I'm thinking Eagle Eye will be really fun.

This does indeed have Oscar all over it. Its the first gay film (fuck you Chuck and Larry) since Brokeback.

I will never see Chuck and Larry but I liked Disturbia quite a bit. Ending was almost too much but it worked for the first two acts.

I am just in the mood for some good Sean Penn. I want to watch 21 Grams and Mystic River sometime soon. He is so talented.

I will be very surprised if he doesn't get nominated for this.

[drudo182]

He's already got it in the bag. Just look at that trailer!

Did you ever see The Assassination of Richard Nixon?

[Ailite]

He's already got it in the bag. Just look at that trailer!

Did you ever see The Assassination of Richard Nixon?
No, is he in it?
I'm interested just from the trailer

He looks fantastic in the trailer, look at how much weight he lost

[drudo182]

No, is he in it?
I'm interested just from the trailer

Dude, you gotta see Assassination. It's so awesome. The last shot in that movie is so sweet. Watched it like a hundred times. And yeah, Penn is in it with Naomi Watts.

Good man. Let me know when you see it.

I bought a used copy of this a while back and still have yet to get around to watching it.

Awesome, thanks for posting that.

[jwelborn]

The trailer was shown during the previews for Burn After Reading.

[Adeniz19]

trailer looked really well done.

[Smash Adams]

so during the trailer I happened to notice that Danny Elfman is scoring this, I think they could give you free puppies with your ticket and my excitement wouldn't be able to get any greater

[xerovision1]

looks excellent. i couldn't even recognize emile hirsch until the end.

[drudo182]

Elfman did the music for Good Will Hunting and Psycho.

[_jonas]

God I can't wait. Limited release this Wednesday and wide release December 5th!

It's gotten praise already.

[gloriousmuse]

I'm so excited to see this!!!

[Machu505]

Will be seeing.

[drudo182]

I want one of those shirts.

[jwelborn]

Dropped to 96% over at RT.

[bradyreier]

Anyone seeing this today?

[mattybobviously]

Want to see this so badly, not sure if it's coming to a theater here though. I will get to it eventually. And they could make some money selling Harvey Milk campaign shirts.

[drudo182]

It won't be here until December. Bummer.

[_jonas]

Seeing it Saturday. Can't wait.

Although I have to go to a theater a little bits away. The price of a limited release.

[mattybobviously]

I want one of those shirts.

I might order one now! Love it.

Thanks.

[Ailite]

1- One of my bosses at work called me gay for wanting to see this, so pathetic and sad that its offensive
2- I got a bunch of Milk postcards that are just miniature versions of the poster from a theater in D.C.
3- I absolutely cannot wait to see this

[kimbustion]

mmmmmmm emile hirsch.
i reallllyyyyyy want to see this movie.

[Machu505]

1- One of my bosses at work called me gay for wanting to see this, so pathetic and sad that its offensive


Your boss is the whole reason this movie was made.

[drudo182]

I've gotten a lot of stuff for having a Brokeback Mountain poster framed in my bedroom... yeah, doesn't make sense.

[AP_Punk]

homophobes suck.

i still wanna see this, but doubt it'll play here. sigh.

[_jonas]

Homophobes are so gay.

[imagination]

ooh i want to see this

[boxingwithstars]

i can't wait to see this movie, but it made me sad when i mentioned it and all of my friends were like "who's harvey milk?? oh, james franco is in it? ok, i'll go see it with you then." :-(

[BigAl]

James Franco did a hilarious interview, with Jimmy Kimmel I think, and he tells some stories about being on set. You guys should check it out if you haven't already watched in.

[_jonas]

Alright I saw it today and have to say it was one of the most beautifully executed biographies I have ever seen.
Simply astounding. Gus Van Sant deserves an Oscar nod for his directing in this.
It brought me to tears when the obvious & tragic happens. More so because of how attached we've become Penn's portrayal of Milk. There's this music that plays just before the credits, it's just such a majestic & graceful point on the exclamation that was this man's life.
Without hesitation I'd call this Gus Van Sant's greatest work.
Harvey's shooting is shown in all it's gruesomeness, yet in such a graceful manner. It shows us how tragic and cruel this world can be when bigotry acts. This man we love murdered in in front of our eyes.
The stock footage blends in perfectly with the flow of the film. Every actor shines. They become their characters.
I hope many people see this and become empowered to speak for the unspoken. This is a film for the American voice.

[drudo182]

Greatest GVS? Can't wait to see it.

[drudo182]

It was only in 36 theaters, but it cracked the top 10. That's awesome.

[jwelborn]

Its playing in Atlanta, which is two hours away from me. If it doesn't come closer, i'll be making the trip soon.

[drudo182]

I'm sure it will come closer.

[Smash Adams]

Its playing in Atlanta, which is two hours away from me. If it doesn't come closer, i'll be making the trip soon.

it's getting a wide release on Friday, hopefully I can see it next weekend

[dissident]

i was gonna say, you all are planning trips and shit but this will be everywhere in a week.

[jwelborn]

I did not know it was getting a wide release so early.

[AP_Punk]

wide release? yayyy.

[Kid B]

I saw it. Fucking owned. Amazing acting.

[notoaststereo]

incredible.

[Ailite]

My manager says we should be getting this on Friday. I work for Carmike Cinemas, we only get big movies. If we're getting it a lot of other theatres will be too.

[jwelborn]

My local theater isn't getting it, at least not this week we aren't. I have a little bit of hope, because we actually got The Duchess, Vicky Cristina Barelona and a couple of limited releases. So even though its suppose to get a wide release, I think it will be here in a couple of weeks.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I have to wait as well but it's probably a good thing due to the fact that I have not seen Synecdoche, New York yet.

[skashroomking]

hahaha MILK

[popdisaster00]

My manager says we should be getting this on Friday. I work for Carmike Cinemas, we only get big movies. If we're getting it a lot of other theatres will be too.
The Carmike theater by me is a pretty decent theater, usually has the biggest selection in town.

But I wish you guys had a better selection of candy. :shrug:

[jwelborn]

I have to wait as well but it's probably a good thing due to the fact that I have not seen Synecdoche, New York yet.

Thats another one im really wanting to see, but will definitely have to wait until it hits dvd because we won't get that.

[Recovery Room]

Already saw it twice. Great film and well-done in every aspect; much praise for Penn's performance as well, of course.

[Throwback]

Need to see it. Love Van Sant (for the most part) and Sean Penn is awesome sometimes. This looks like one of those times.

[Ailite]

The Carmike theater by me is a pretty decent theater, usually has the biggest selection in town.

Don't buy our candy, its $3.80 when at Acme its a dollar

I didn't tell you this....

[drudo182]

It's not playing this Friday at the new theater in town... So lame. Hope it's at one of the others. I thought it was nationwide?!?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

might check this out, need to finally see a GVS movie...I watched about half od Last Days, and turned it off...and it made me want to never see anything else that had to do with him...not too mention puncture my eyes with the disc after I broke it.

but I have heard is other stuff is much better..

[jwelborn]

Last Days is not a good movie. I love Van Sant, and I didn't enjoy it. Watch Drugstore Cowboy, Elephant, or Good Will Hunting.

[popdisaster00]

Don't buy our candy, its $3.80 when at Acme its a dollar

I didn't tell you this....
I never buy candy at a movie theater. Only popcorn, haha.

[drudo182]

Last Days is my least favorite of his last four films.

Elephant > Paranoid Park > Gerry > Last Days

[Ailite]

I never buy candy at a movie theater. Only popcorn, haha.
Haha good. Everything there is ridiculously overpriced, if I didn't get free movies I honestly think I'd start looking for another job

[drudo182]

I always bring my own drinks and food in.

Sour Patch Kids, baby! Best movie snack. That and Reeces Pieces.

[_jonas]

I always like bringing Sour Skittles, but in the end hate myself for purging the whole box.

[drudo182]

I always like bringing Sour Skittles, but in the end hate myself for purging the whole box.

LOL.

And Milk isn't playing here yet. So lame.

[Machu505]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM PISSED. No theaters here are playing Milk or Frost/Nixon.

[Jason Tate]

So, so, so boring.

[drudo182]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM PISSED. No theaters here are playing Milk or Frost/Nixon.

You don't have Frost/Nixon? Isn't that a wide release.

Our Tivoli is getting this the 14 so I assume I have to wait until then. Ugh.

I am seeing Punisher: War Zone tomorrow.

[drudo182]

Well, actually it says the 12 it goes even wider. I hope we get it then.

[Machu505]

You don't have Frost/Nixon? Isn't that a wide release.

Our Tivoli is getting this the 14 so I assume I have to wait until then. Ugh.

I am seeing Punisher: War Zone tomorrow.

Nope, no Frost/Nixon. The worst part about it is that they've put posters up for both films in recent weeks around the theatre. They're fucking teasing me.

[drudo182]

Nope, no Frost/Nixon. The worst part about it is that they've put posters up for both films in recent weeks around the theatre. They're fucking teasing me.

Well... I just checked and we didn't get it at our new theater or the old ones so that must be limited too.

Odd.

[Machu505]

Milk is a wide release though. I have no idea why they're not showing it here.

[drudo182]

Milk is a wide release though. I have no idea why they're not showing it here.

It's technically not a wide release until next weekend when it's over at least 600 screens. I guess it only added like 200 or something this week.

You'll just have to do what I am doing, and see the new Punisher film.

[eraserhead]

I want to see this so bad.

[drudo182]

Eh, I'll probably just go see Australia.

I liked that one quite a bit.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

Ahh, completely forgot about that film. I try to block it out, I couldn't even finish it.

gosh - how awful was that movie? i couldnt finish either.

[Ailite]

So, so, so boring.
lol

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

seeing this tomorrow i think. i'm sure sean penn is great in it.

[drudo182]

Lucky bastard.

[Jason Tate]

lol
Well thought out and articulate.

i'm sorry a biopic wasn't fast paced and action packed for you.

Really hope this makes it's way to near where I live.

[Jason Tate]

i'm sorry a biopic wasn't fast paced and action packed for you.
I've never associated fast paced and action packed as needed to be not "boring."

[sjb2k1]

i really want to see this.

[Kid B]

It was kind of boring... just a little. Great movie, still.

[pshh]

Great movie and some great performances by Sean Penn.

[Ailite]

Well thought out and articulate.
If I had taken the time think up a lengthy and valid argument you would have simply told me my opinion wrong, so lol is pretty much all that needs to be said

[drudo182]

Very true.

[_jonas]

My respect for Tate's opinion died long ago when he claimed Lost to be poorly written.
If you're a writer and not Jason Tate, watch out because nothing you do will ever be worth praising.

After Last Days, calling this film boring is a complete miss.

[pshh]

politics is theater

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

not boring at all. saw it tonight. far from boring. i would consider the pacing of this one of it's strengths. if you don't like this film, you dont like biopics. as for biopics in general - this was top of the line in that genre. with that said, this is not better than a couple of other movies i have seen this year (let the right one in, dark knight).

[FOBcareemo]

Sant, and Elephant was one of his best films.

[drudo182]

I agree. Elephant might be Van San't best piece of cinema.

Love Good Will Hunting and Drugstore Cowboy as well. GVS is easily my favorite director.

[pshh]

Have any of you guys seen Paranoid Park?

[jwelborn]

Have any of you guys seen Paranoid Park?

Yes sir, I enjoyed it my first viewing, but I just haven't had any urges to re-watch it.

[drudo182]

I thought Paranoid Park was great.

Been meaning to pick it up.

[jwelborn]

I've just decided im going to take a day trip to atlanta right now, and see Milk and Slumdog Millionaire. Im off work, and I don't have class tomorrow.

Yup. Him and _jonas for their last couple of comments in here.

[Ailite]

WHAT THE FUCK? He was perma-banned? Shit no, I'm sending as many messages to as many staffers as I can. That is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

[Machu505]

Being perma-banned for something like that is the definition of ridiculous.

Much better. Still absurb, but better.

[Jason Tate]

Stuff like this makes me hate this website.
Then stop visiting it. If you're going to get all worked up over a website to the point where you "hate it" - you clearly have issues you should be focusing on instead of visiting. It's almost comical to see people start throwing accusations around without any semblance of reality. This was the first time I've even been in this thread since 12:22 PM on 12/06/08, and only because Machu505 piqued my interest with his personal message of accusation.

I will admit some of your conspiracy theories and melodrama do crack me up though.

Then stop visiting it. If you're going to get all worked up over a website to the point where you "hate it" - you clearly have issues you should be focusing on instead of visiting. It's almost comical to see people start throwing accusations around without any semblance of reality. This was the first time I've even been in this thread since 12:22 PM on 12/06/08, and only because Machu505 piqued my interest with his personal message of accusation.

I will admit some of your conspiracy theories and melodrama do crack me up though.
I don't mean I hate the site, becuase if I did I wouldn't come here- I hate the shit you gave me over the summer and ridiculous situations like this. Its obvious they shouldn't be banned, I think you can fix that. You may not have have banned them but that doesn't stop this place from resembling absolutethirdreich.net. I'm not trying to get banned, but this situation along with many others that occur are stupid.
out of curiousity, why did drudo and _jonas get the banhammer?
They disagreed

[LostPuppy]

Surely there's been posts about Jason that would exceed the level of offense that their posts sort of provoked.
I mean, at least they were trying to state their opinions about the movie instead of posting just to be witless goons.

I believe it was more of they were disrespecting a staff member.

But back to the subject: My theatre still has yet to receive this film.

[Ailite]

Neither has mine, very annoying

Here to break the awkward silence haha.

Yeah I definitely need to see this.
haha, thank you! I appreciate you breaking that up for me!

I will definitely see it within the next week.

I always thought Tate was awesome, I've read his blog for a long time but this is stupid, I agree. Bums me out to see this. I hope this isn't what he's worked for: a dictatorship. Probably the stupidest ban I've ever seen. Bans two awesome posters and lets people like Die Hard and AFG roam the forums as much as they want.

_jonas was ok. I wouldn't call him awesome.

[LostPuppy]

_jonas' was certainly more direct than Drudo's. Drudo just gave a sarcastic remark.

Even then, I wouldn't call either so foul as to be ban worthy.or wrong for that matter.

What do you mean it's obvious they shouldn't get banned for breaking the rules of the website? When did this become moderating by jury? Stop being so melodramatic. You're comparing a message board to genocide? What the fuck is wrong with you?

The decisions made on the website are not yours to make.

And saying things like "they got banned because they disagreed" is just fucking stupid.

[IAmNietzche]

The don't drink milk once in this entire film?!

[Jason Tate]

I find it funny the second guessing going on right now. Both members were banned for comments since deleted from the website after repeated offenses -- so it's completely irrelevant to try and make a case based around information you don't have.

Both of those members have been banned multiple times. And moderation decisions are a dictatorship - there is no trial by jury.

I do agree with that -- much more than putting quotes between a name at least.

Yet the fact that those posts weren't instant ban worthy stinks up the room.
Just seems a bit pick & choosy who makes the cut.

I have literally never seen you post before. You have an ironic, Radiohead-influenced nickname, you have a Christmas oriented Converge avatar, you are a sack of shit.

Don't you have some homework to be doing or something?

[LostPuppy]

The horror they had just witnessed, oh so vast. Why Die Hard?! Why?!

Innocence lost, all virgins that had been there to see the carnage became instant whores.
Most lost their ability to see. Some had gone mute.
Never before had the world been victim to such a merciless foe.

Goatse had nothing on Die Hard. He became invincible. An internet god.
You see him, goddammit, and you bow! You thank the heavens that his posts don't devastate you to the brink of insanity!
So much glory.

Bless you Die Hard.

Haha you're two years older than him, you listen to the music of a 12 year old girl, and you post the jokes of someone who watches Yo' Momma and Wild'n Out... and you're making a joke about him being young?

I went to the first showing of Milk in Vermont, which was tabled by VT Freedom to Marry. It was an awesome event, as well as probably the highest percentage of gay people in a movie theatre in Vermont history. Ended up walking out with an awesome t-shirt and hat for free, as well as a new job, haha.

Thought the movie was very good. To me, it was very comparable to Ray, only it was a subject I absolutely loved. When I saw Ray the first time, I knew Foxx was incredible, that the movie was pretty good, and that I wasn't a huge Ray Charles fan. This time around, I thought Penn was brilliant, the movie was pretty good, and that anything political I fall in love with.

Certainly not my movie of year, but very good.

Also, the previews for The Wrestler and Gran Tornio that ran before this movie blew my mind, most convincing trailers ever.
