Apparently it opens the door to racial diversity.

this might be the lamest thing i ever saw

Hopefully it's not as terrible as the book. When Johnathan Safran Foer tries to channel Pynchon it's like listening to a mute sing Schubert.

I like to think that line "You rock" was supposed to be Tom Hanks addressing the rock directly as in "You, rock."

Because that makes that line a lot less incredibly cheesy.

Also, oh God damnit. Child Actors. Why.

Cannot stand this fucking kids voice. He reminds me of my annoying cousin that has no friends. And Jesus 9/11 Christ... why?! I just don't see what people like about this stuff. I have no soul apparently.

Llewelynon Sept. 30, 2011 at 2:44 p.m.

I dunno, I feel like everyone else who has commented so far, but something about Tom hanks fucking gets me, I really don't know.

woolfon Sept. 30, 2011 at 3:20 p.m.

This is gonna be interesting. As much as i detest Sandra Bullock and 9/11 emotion mining, I enjoyed the book years ago, schmaltz and all. I'm betting on good but not great for this, but we'll see.

kennyshaton Sept. 30, 2011 at 3:32 p.m.

I thought the book was okay. It was on my girlfriend's bookshelf and was the only thing that was moderately interesting when I needed something to read. She didn't like the book very much, but I thought it was mostly alright. Trying a little too hard to tug the heartstrings maybe, but alright.

This movie looks to be about the same. Trying a little too hard, but mostly alright.

You win the simile award for the day.

MrMazzon Sept. 30, 2011 at 4:09 p.m.

Tom Hanks why do you make all your movies look good. To bad he appears to die in the first 20(?) minutes.

drscotton Sept. 30, 2011 at 5:47 p.m.

So I take it that it's been long enough the Twin Towers can be shown in movies again.

Positrarkon Sept. 30, 2011 at 6:48 p.m.

I'm a sucker for drama, but this is just trying too hard. That being said I'll give the movie a chance if people say its good.

ShadowKirbyon Sept. 30, 2011 at 8:53 p.m.

Because of fucking course they are going to use U2 in the trailer.

Vague_Optimismon Sept. 30, 2011 at 8:54 p.m.

In before key goes to dad's long-dead locked-up gimp girlfriend.

OSAMAAAAA! *fist shake*

Looseon Sept. 30, 2011 at 10:38 p.m.

I don't think it's possible to bait harder for an Oscar.

Also this

Lawl turns out it's just the key to dad's porn stash lockbox.

fetchfoxon Oct. 1, 2011 at 7:36 a.m.

Oh, that key... yeah, thats where he keeps the dead hookers...

I actually found this interesting. Billy Elliot was a great movie, and the director knows how to tell a story with children at the center.

Saryy42on Oct. 1, 2011 at 1:05 p.m.

But guys this movie includes 9/11 if we don't give it all the Oscars then we're commie terrorists that hate Jesus Christ and puppies.
