Spoiler:
baby on the spit

scene is not in the final film.

Aww....

Opened up today, unfortunately the closest it opened to me is in San Francisco, about 20 miles away.

20 miles isn't that far... bus? or is 20 miles difficult in America... 😛

No, it's not. I could drive there in 30-40 minutes, if traffic isn't that bad. I'm just horribly lazy, that and all the gays in S.F.

if you come tomorrow we can see it together. 😄

Will you guarantee a hand-job?

no. o.o

but blax might. 😄

Yeah, stupid of them to do a limited release for this movie. As if they're trying their damnedest to make sure the movie fails.

I'll probably actually pay $10 bucks to see this movie at my local artsy theatre when it comes out. Looks interesting.

On a side note: The trailer posted (on page 2 of this thread) was great. But I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that they used the silly "Yaaaauuuuuuarrgh" scream in it at 2:20--- totally killed the mood.

Nah the Wilhelm scream is different.

😂

Those screams remind me of another bloody annoying sound effect used over and over in films, when someone opens a door or a gate, the same noise. I've never heard a door make that noise...

Okay, I saw it earlier. Just got back.

Overall it's a very solid movie. Great acting by all involved. The kid at times is a bit weak, but you can't really blame him.

Also the film has amazing visuals and it does a pretty good job of capturing the tone of the novel.

That said, it's missing the core emotional connection, I thought. I cried at the end of the book. In the film, though, I didn't.

Definitely a good film, though. Great music as well. Just don't go in expecting anything close to the power of the novel and you'll be happy.

i wanna see this so0o0o0 badly! >.<

there was a death in the family yesterday so i wont for awhile though. =(

So....it will be a great movie if one hasn't even read the novel at all right?

Yeah. Would be fine.

Definitely recommend reading the book, though.

Hahaha, you crying ***.

I hear you though, the book draws you in and ****s with your mind and emotions. Was hoping this was transferred over into the film.

Parts of it did. Some parts were lost in translation. The biggest thing lost was the pure sense of urgency that pushed the book forward. Just didn't capture that in the film.
