This was really interesting, and very weird!=p  |

I finally got around to watching this movie, after having it recommended to me for a while. I couldn't beleive how long it seemed, but in a way the slow movement added to how involved I got with the main character's plight.
Part of what I really loved about this movie is that it's an idea I've had since I was a kid. I used to write and imagine actually meeting my characters, and saw them in my dreams telling me what should happen in their stories. So when I heard there was a movie like this, I was so excited, but also afraid it would be ruined by my expectations.
I was almost a little disappointed when I found out what happened at the end, until that whole conversation between the professor and the author. I thought that scene was pure genius!
Did anyone else really love this movie? And were you happy with the ending?

1. sigma77 (4282) | 3 years ago | You didn't mention the movie title, but I think that is an excellent way to write a story. Imagine meeting the characters and having them tell you what should happen in the stories. That is brilliant, I think.

lecanis (7212) | 3 years ago | Oh, sorry, it's "Stranger Than Fiction"... I put the discussions under that category, so I didn't think to name the movie in the discussions itself. I'm sorry!
It is very interesting!

lecanis (7212) | 3 years ago | It is a bit slow in parts. My husband was half-watching it while playing on the computer, and he kept complaining about it being slow. But I was so mesmerized I just didn't care!

sunnyckell (280) | 3 years ago | I initially wanted to watch it because I like Will Ferrell, but it turned out a lot different than I expected. I think that he and Maggie Gyllenhal had a great chemistry and I really felt for the characters.

lecanis (7212) | 3 years ago | As good as it can be right now! I had a really good day today actually. A whole day off without having to go to the doctor... yay!=)
I did really enjoy the movie. Funnily enough, when I mentioned it to the girl I thought told me she really liked it, I found out that I had misheard her, and actually she really hated it. But I'm so glad that I did hear it wrong, because otherwise I might never have watched this movie... and I really loved it!

5. Hmmmmm (1687) | 3 years ago | Don't you love when old discussions get rejuvenated? I get a big kick out of it when it happens to me and my discussions.
I saw this movie in the movie theater, which is actually something I rarely do (we usually go to the drive-in!). The preview made me believe that it was going to be unbelievably funny, which was why we went (that and I knew that Kristin Chenoweth was in it, and she is one of my favorites). It turned out that it wasn't about the humor at all, and I have to say that it bothered me at first. I don't like when the trailer leads you down one path and and the actual movie is completely different. However, I did enjoy the movie after thinking about it for a while. I was happy with the ending. I would like to see it again, only because now I can appreciate it for what it really was, and not be agitated by the lack of punchlines that I had yet to hear (those that were assumably left out of the trailer). I also now know that Kristin's part is so tiny that I won't be waiting for her "big part" and then be disappointed when I don't get to see her sing (she was the newscaster on the television in the background, and she was barely noticeable).
