i just got home. i haven't said any words yet. i walked out of the theater and some guy walking past me said "go hurricanes" as i was wearing a shirt that said "The U" on it. i couldn't even bring myself to say "hell yea" or anything. i gave him an awkward devil horns/i love you sign (devil horns plus a weak thumb?) and cracked a small smile. then when i left the elevator on my floor in the parking garage i accidentally cut off an old woman trying to get off the same floor. i said "sorry" but it was so soft i didn't think she heard me so i said it again but it was just as soft. i couldn't even say thank you to the attendent after he handed me back my change for the garage. and now here i am. kind of drained. kind of emotionally paralyzed. and kind of inspired...where's my guitar...........

best review ever, actually.

I cant wait to see it. alas, im in the midwest. OCtober 5th can come soon enough....

although i did just get done playing guitar after 5 hours of it...

is ed's voice in the soundtrack as overwhelming as i think it would be in the middle of a movie like that?

it fits well. people around me were tapping their shoes and seemingly into it.

cool, i'm always weary of ed in soundtracks cause i feel he could totally hijack the image with his voice

I was in an eerie silence. Thoughts swirling around my head, never connecting. What had I just seen? Then I opened a new browser, found some porn, and rubbed one out

pussy

I wonder if this is playing in the Philly/suburbs area any time soon....

see it whenever it's available. it's quite an experience.

i just got home from seeing the movie, and you've summed up the state i'm in right now. the whole thing is paralyzing. i walked into this little theatre and it was filled to the brim (which came as a shock), except for the front row with two people sitting way off to the left. so i went up there and and sat down, front row right in the middle. the experience was almost spiritual. just sitting up there completely immersed by the huge screen, with these even bigger scenic images and music. i had to sit really low in my seat just to see it all because i was so close, but the entire experience was amplified because of that proximity, sitting up there alone. Plus being so familiar with the soundtrack, there was already this pre-established connection to the film I've never experienced when going to the movies. when you can, go see this movie.

Curley, I don't know how you did it. The last time I sat in the front row at the movies, I had a stiff neck for 3 days afterwards. Glad to hear it was worth it, though.

definately worth it. i wouldn't change one aspect of the experience.

OH HELL YEAH!
i just won sneak passes to it on Thurs!
I'll give it a or on friday.

shameless bump. i hope everyone sees this. it's slightly altering.

i felt so numb after the show i went to the doctor, who told me i have eddie vedder emoitis.

the hot doctor?

yea. she quickly fixed that problem.

just got back

......

is this really a good movie or is it good because of the pretty scenes set to Eddies voice?

I havent seen it yet and I am not judging anything, but it SOUNDS like the story of a kid who thought getting "off the grid" would make him better than the rest of the world and wandered into the woods where he slowly starved or froze to death or something.

I will see it soon I hope

I did take a few moments to ponder if i could even judge this obcjectively, and maybe i cant. but it has nothing to do with vedders voice or contribution. I read this book 3 years ago and it had a big impact on me then. Sean penn did an absolute incredible job with this. Stunningly beautiful. Acting is above and beyond anything ive seen in a long long time. very emotional. Its a hell of a story.

Sure, a kid did wander off and wanted off the grid...on a basic level. ...

I cant promise it will affect you in the way it did me (and some of us) but....

I hope so.
