I'm going to see it today- looks really good.

BTW- Has anyone seen the films Duplex, Dogville or The Human Stain? They all look interesting.

I saw it Saturday night...ahhh...I was in HEAVEN...Ewan is such a cutie...


Ya know how he's standing outside her window and yells, "Sandra Templeton! I love you and I WILL marry you!" well...I stood up at the end of the movie as my friend and I were leaving, grabbed her arm so she couldn't leave and yelled "Ewan McGregor! I love you and I WILL marry you!"


I like to make an effort to embarass all my friends at Ewan McGregor movies.


Oh, and I loved the movie, it was REALLY good...I'm not just saying that b/c Ewan was in it either.


Oh, and Karly, it has a lot of plots b/c he's like, telling stories and all that stuff.

I saw Big Fish- and it's fantastic! I might go see later this month- convert some of my friends! Alot of reviews I had read had said it's very different from usual Burton movies, and at first I didn't really want to see it- but it's brilliant. It's definitely like Burton's old films- the line with the shoes hanging and the witch, both look like they're from Beetlejuice or A Nightmare Before Christmas.

I loved the town of Spectre part- it was so funny seeing how much the overly happy people creeped out Bloom.

Is it just me- or does Burton always seem to have one girl like Jenny in all of his films? She looks really similar to Winona in Edward Scissorhands.

Also- the part where he was saying about the crow telling the future, and his dad- I was ready to cry cos he was so serious, thne when he finished it I couldn't stop laughing.

Oh, my God, this movie was AWESOME! :biglove: I just came back from the theater, and I'm still in awe of it. Classic Tim Burton.

The end of this one was one of the best endings I've ever seen on a movie. I get so aggravated when you're watching a really good movie, and when you get to the end, it's like...blah. :p This was certainly not the case. It makes you think...which fate did Edward see in the witch's eye: the reality or the fantasy? I'm still puzzled...

All in all, this was just...totally great. When it comes out on DVD, I'll be the first one on line to buy it.

:notworthy

I just watched Big Fish tonight, and I absolutely loved it. Great performances all around by Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, and Jessica Lange. Interesting side characters with the Giant, Steve Buscemi, Danny Devito and Helena Bonham-Carter.

This movie was mystical, bittersweet, funny and sad. Kudos to Tim Burton.

The ending was almost too much to take....so very sad.

Being a fan of Tim Burton I'm looking forward to seeing it. I was going to rent it this past weekend but I was far too busy working on my house ect to watch anything on TV

It sounds like most here really liked it

You thought the ending was sad? Wow, I'm ususally really emotional and I didn't find it sad...interesting...

I thought Albert Finney was alright but I wasn't that crazy about him...Ewan was amazing, as always. Of course I've already commented on this movie, but I mean, it's so good...

My boyfriend and I were just talking about this today too...ah the irony.

I know that the ending was intended to be uplifting, but having sat at my dying father's bedside not too long ago, it wiped me out. I found the theme of the movie very sad...coming to terms with losing a parent.

I guess people come away with different feelings from movies based on their personal life experiences. :)

Oh yea, I can see where you're coming from. I know that if my father had died, I wouldn't have liked the movie the same.

Yup. The same thing happened to my dad. My grandpa died last month, and my dad just saw it for the first time since. He said it was really hard for him to watch.
