That sucks man. Kevin James movies are the most overpromoted pieces of shit. That stupid zoo movie he did had billboards up for months.

And **** all you people who say Lincoln is too slow moving. God forbid Hollywood comes out with a movie that doesn't involve comic book characters and explosions. Lincoln is a fantastic movie but a lot of you will put off seeing it because there's no transformers in it.

Mrs. OTW58 and I were going to see it last night, but decided not to.

We typically won't bother seeing a movie unless it's being shown in one of the 21+ theaters with assigned seating. We only go 3-4 times a year, and I'm spoiled by having an assigned seat, showing up 10 minutes early instead of an hour to get a good seat, no teenagers talking/texting through the film, having access to booze, etc.

Figured opening weekend we wouldn't have a problem.

Instead, all of the 21+ theaters were showing the ****ing Twilight movie.

:banghead:

Yes, assigned seating kicks ass. I love being able to just show up and sit down instead of having to show up an hour early to fight for a seat.

I'd love the 21+, but living in bum****nowhere does at least allow me to not fight for a seat most times. 15-20 minutes usually gets me a decent seat.

I liked it, but I also went in wanting to. They did a great job making DDL the most powerful man in every scene even though he was never the loudest. DDL and Tommy Lee Jones were great. So was the guy playing Seward, can't remember his name. Guy from Bourne.

David Strathairn. He's one of my favorite actors - always great in supporting roles.

Just got back from seeing this - it was fantastic, as you would expect considering the talent involved. Loved it. :thumb:

I saw it a couple of weeks ago on the Disney cruise ship. It was a good movie, but it was very slow paced (not exactly an action flick). And it's actually misnamed; it's really not that much about Lincoln. It's about the months surrounding the passage of the 13th Amendment. Powerful stuff, to be sure, but I was expecting Lincoln's life story--childhood, formative years, the young Lincoln as he got into first law and then politics. The film starts with him already re-elected, already having signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil War is almost over, and the film is basically about how he wants to push through the 13th Amendment even though his supporters tell him not to try it. (The overwhelming belief was that even the Northerners only wanted the war to end, and would not support the Amendment.) Then again, if it were called "Freedom", it would probably make little money.

Daniel Day-Lewis is great, of course, as he always is. He's definitely winning an Oscar. He portrays Lincoln in his last months as weary, slow-moving, almost telegraphing his impending death... and yet, with his occasional anecdotal speeches, displays the persuasive and subversive charm Lincoln had. (And with a few well-timed outburts, displays his passion and power.)

Yep, not liking a movie makes me a moron. Excellent logic.

That movie looks terrible. I just prefer non-fictional movie portrayals in book form. You can soak up way more information and don't have to sit through the filler in a movie theater. Just my personal preference though.

Man.

I freaking loved this movie. It was amazing. Lewis absolutely destroyed this role. Nailed it. And my biggest concern of Tommy Lee Jones killing this movie was unfounded. He was very effective in his role.

If you haven't seen this movie, watch it today.
