OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Up in the Air
« on: December 20, 2009, 08:47:57 PM »
This movie has gotten a lot of hype.  It deserves it.  Clooney plays a man who works for a company that fires people.   He constantly travels all over the United States, and has no roots.  It is a lifestyle that he has chosen in preference to committing to anything permanent.  His job is a metaphor for his philosophy.  You know what is coming.  A crisis causes him to question his choices and the movie ends, literally and figuratively, up in the air.  It is funny.  Clooney is smug and charming.  His bed partner is attractive and interesting.  You see a lot of the United States that you didn't particularly care to see.

Oh.  I forgot to mention.  Sam Elliot reprises his role from The Big Lebowski.  Nice touch.

Good good. I am intending on seeing this. I have a rule with Clooney movies. Even if it sucks, you still get to stare at George Clooney. The rule applies to Robert Downey Jr. movies, as well.

I think you meant to put that comment somewhere else.

Oh, ok, sure, and like you've never gotten an erection looking at George Clooney.

This is what I saw when Avatar was sold out and there were only scattered seats for Sherlock Holmes.  What a depressing ending.  But the chick Clooney was banging had a great ass, so it wasn't a complete waste.  Also, I hate Jason Bateman as every character he's ever played except Michael Bluth.

I agree with this.  I also hate Will Arnett as ever character he's ever played other than GOB Bluth.

...because they play the same character in every movie.

Arnett is awesome as Gay GOB in 30 Rock, though.

I actually half-heartily interlike you, but this is a colossally stupid train of thought. Stop digging.
