I've got a real problem with anyone called Buttons anything that's not a teddy bear.

I saw this movie once! In 1978 on the Mork and Mindy show when Merth the Orkan (Orkans age in reverse from elderly to infancy) visits Mork. Hilarious show! This movie doesn't look funny though. :(

I don't know what's wrong with me but I won't watch films with Brad Pitt in theatres. And it's not for dirty reasons regarding the comfort of my home, you pervs ;) It's about how I don't care for him.
- you're a pervRamanisky2
- Anyway, the film looks like it could be good.Jaline
- you don't care for him in public, but in private you are a dirty girl.morilla
- you have everything right after "in private" ;)
really, I'm being serious.Jaline - serious about the Pitt thing. Anyway, back to the film. Looks like it could be decent.Jaline
- you want brad pitt in your privates... OH NO YOU DI'NT!7point34
- Fine, you can have him.Jaline
- I can't think of a bad movie he's been in. Why not hold that restraint for someone who really deserves it?CyBrain
- Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Stiffler, Vince Vaughan, Doody Nose (Owen Wilson), etc.CyBrain

remember hearing about this... i'm interested

does it really matter who the actor is as long as its a good movie? heck i'd even go watch a shyamalan movie starring freddie prinze jr if it looked really good and/or got really good reviews.
- Short of it: yes, unless the film is ridiculously good.Jaline
- Because then you start to remember about the things you don't like.Jaline
- a good movie is a good movie. if an actor's personal antics matter to you while watching a movie then maybe you are not watching the movie?emukid
- watching the movie?emukid
- This is my opinion. ie, I love Batman Begins but dislike K. Holmes. I dislike Spiderman partly b/c of the actors.Jaline
- Of course a movie can be great, but actors can make or break a film.Jaline
- Look at it like a pet peeve. I mean, how many ppl didn't like the idea of Shia in Indiana Jones?Jaline
- Doesn't mean I won't like the film. But I may dislike it (just a bit) b/c an actor can't act or just looks stupid in general.Jaline
- Anyway, I'm going on about this too much. I feel the same way about directors, but not writers, for some reason.Jaline
- One last thing, I do take into consideration the writing (script), and everything else before judging, of course.Jaline
- shia might be a douche but he might be good in that particular role in indiana jones. because he is a douche doesnt mean he will never be able to perform well in any movie at all. i'll save my judgement for until i have seen the movie.emukid
- doesnt mean he will never be able to perform well in any movie at all. i'll save my judgement for until i have seen the movie.emukid
- seen the movie.emukid
- weird how i repeat the last word of a note when continuing myemukid
- my sentence.emukid
- I agree with you! I just don't have the motivation to watch a film with an actor I like in theatres unless someone tellsJaline
- me that it's good. It doesn't mean that I'm not going to watch the film at home. I just wouldn't pay money.Jaline
- It's not about whether Pitt is good in the specific role. It's about my preconceived notions about him and motivationJaline
- to pay to watch the film is not there.Jaline
- note 16:
*actor I DON'T LIKE, not one I do like.Jaline - get a room.Jnr_Madison
- The film can still be great, but if he annoyed me I will say it. Just like how I thought Paltrow was good in Iron ManJaline
- and usually I don't like her.Jaline
- it's a david fincher movie and that's all one needs to know. it might be in chinese and have midgets in starring roles but its a fincher movie! FINCHER!emukid
- fincher movie. FINCHER!emukid
- OK, so to sum up, I never judged the film yet, and of course I wouldn't do that without watching it first.Jaline
- yeah, see, emu, that's your opinion. I happen to agree with you, but I'm still not paying.Jaline
- Just to let you know, I don't watch many films in theatres. So I'm not being that offensive.Jaline
- FINCHER!emukid
- i am not offended. i am just fucking with you. i am a troll, you see.emukid
- FINCHER!emukid
- I do like him.Jaline

I hate about 99.9% of the crap that comes out today but not this one. The attention to detail is superb, acting was good and the score tied it together. It's worth a watch on the big screen just for the cinematography.

I thought it was a good movie...4 outta 5 if I was going to give it a number. Good movie, not great. A happy and sad movie. Only dislike was that it was a supa long movie, almost 3 hours, but I don't think it could have been shortened. Cinematography and score was amazing. A very creative idea. 'Curious' would be a good word to describe it. One of Brad Pitts better performances as of late. Burn Before Reading was crap. Don't bring your grandmother to it. We brought my wife's grandmother who is in denial of her age. She was furious about the movie, said she hated it, and was crying the entire time. People die and are reborn in this movie, especially old people. It's like one big run on.
