I saw it only about 5 or so years ago. I was prepared for the best movie ever. It wasn't bad, it just didn't live up to the hype for me.It's easy to argue that no fewer than four really good actors give the best performances of their film careers in it (pryce, Baldwin, lemon, Harris) with spacey close and pacino's up there as well if not for the fact he has such a big portfolio.I was surprised also
Agree with the post on that it would probably be much better on stage
I'm a Dylan guy.Ditto. Big fan of Cal.btw Bob, I forgot to mention earlier that once again Cal is proving himself a mini-hero of mine. You done some good fathering.
Pretty much. I consider it very overrated.I don't get it. I mean, Pacino wasbut David Mamet took an all star cast and made them insult each other uncreatively for 120 minutes.
I've pretty much found that email in general confirms that most people are awful awful writers. So good luck!My sons have email accounts now. We are hoping it improves their writing skills. But there's some trepidation about all this. I mean, what if a Nigerian queen asks them for money or a friend of theirs forwards them a Forrestmail?

LOOK AT ME! I HAVE A BED!Hey, if any of you guys are feeling bad about your life....I pissed the bed last night.Never done it before, but I figure 39 is the perfect age to start doing ^^^^ like that.
Yes. Well I wouldn't say I 'dislike' it. I just wasn't as great as people seem to think it is.
The point of the exercise is to engage them in written emails and help them work on their writing by exposing them to good writing and helping them work on theirs (correct punctuation, encourage proper sentence structure, build vocabulary, discourage redundancy, built their typing skills). Wait until your kids are in grade school and you have to help them with their writing with pencil and paper. But yes, your point about people being bad writers in general is understood, despite not being germane to my query.I've pretty much found that email in general confirms that most people are awful awful writers.

I knew Mamet missed a golden opportunity by not giving Baldwin a cat to stroke during his scene.
Don't have Netflix (Hi GM)But we do have Hulu Plus, maybe I'll look on there for it. Although to be honest, I'm not really sure what Hulu Plus is, except you can watch TV shows on it.No excuses - its on netflix. I love this movie, but it made me really uncomfortable at every turn. Great actors, a bit over the top, and works very much like a stage play on screen (it was). If you are old enough ...kinda of like "Playhouse 90." The intensity and the atmosphere remind me a lot of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Another incredible and stressful movie that everyone should see."Time to play get the guests - Maw-thaa"Me either.I've never even seen itIt's easy to argue that no fewer than four really good actors give the best performances of their film careers in it (pryce, Baldwin, lemon, Harris) with spacey close and pacino's up there as well if not for the fact he has such a big portfolio.
I would agree with this but the little jerk got a "B" in social studies.btw Bob, I forgot to mention earlier that once again Cal is proving himself a mini-hero of mine. You done some good fathering.
I'm 2 for 2 here.
It is germane - how is exposing them to ####ty emails from people helping them? Last week I received an email from the vP of a biotech company that was six sentences long. Among other sins he ended three sentences with multiple exclamation points, typed the first sentence in all caps, and called me "buddy" twice before signing off with "thanks buddy".The point of the exercise is to engage them in written emails and help them work on their writing by exposing them to good writing and helping them work on theirs (correct punctuation, encourage proper sentence structure, build vocabulary, discourage redundancy, built their typing skills).

Well, I never.
That Thing You Do is UNDERrated.How's that theory holding up now, Newton?you think everything is overrated.they can't all be That Thing You Do, guyPretty much. I consider it very overrated.I don't get it. I mean, Pacino was
Because they won't be trading emails with VPs of biotech companies. The bulk of their exchanges will be with me, my wife, their mom, their grandparents and their friends. Their writing skills will be sharpened through exchanges with us; the fun aspect of it will come from interacting with their friends.It is germane - how is exposing them to ####ty emails from people helping them?

If you lived my life, you would think it was awesome Mr. Shoop.

You guys are the best.
