Couldn't find a thread on this (redirect if needed) but I won some passes today for next weeks advance screening of this flick, anyone seen it and is it worth going to the screening?
you WON something. FOR FREE.
FOR FREE.
Doesn't look too bad actually. You won passes anyway so you've got nothing to lose.
Trailer. (http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/laws_of_attraction/)
Doesn't look like something I'd want to take off work and school for. I'll netflix it in when it comes out on digital video disc.
if anyone is in or around santa fe new mexico and wants some free passes to this flick, let me know. It's on april 14th at the downtown theater in albuquerque.

[1.1.1] What do the letters DVD stand for?
All of the following have been proposed as the words behind the letters DVD.
-Delayed, very delayed (referring to the many late releases of DVD formats)
-Diversified, very diversified (referring to the proliferation of recordable formats and other spinoffs)
-Digital venereal disease (referring to piracy and copying of DVDs)
-Dead, very dead (from naysayers who predicted DVD would never take off)
-Digital video disc (the original meaning proposed by some of DVD's creators)
-Digital versatile disc (a meaning later proposed by some of DVD's creators)
-Nothing
And the official answer is? "Nothing." The original acronym came from "digital video disc." Some members of the DVD Forum (see 6.1) tried to express that DVD goes far beyond video by retrofitting the painfully contorted phrase "digital versatile disc," but this has never been officially accepted by the DVD Forum as a whole. The DVD Forum decreed in 1999 that DVD, as an international standard, is simply three letters. After all, how many people ask what VHS stands for? (Guess what, no one agrees on that one either.)
^^^^^ See that P and Cine? SEE THAT!!
For P And Cinephile.

not to weasel out of a justified ownage, but cinephile misunderstood my post..
it was kotte who originally owned me when i said digital video disc. here is that moment:
Quote from: kotteQuote from: PQuote from: El Duderinosorry, what does DV stand for?
do u know what DVD stands for?
well DV = DVD - D
What are you talking about?
DV stands for Digital Video.
DVD did stand for Digital Video Disc...but today it's Digital Versatile Disc.
so, u know, i'm all for a good owning when it's right. the joke was meant to be that we're cavemen for thinking Video.
I do not know what the correct one is. I use digital video disc cause it's what i'm used to. I think Kotte is wrong. But he is too nice and I would feel bad dropping ownage on his ass. I guess it's a matter of whatever the individual prefers.
I know this thread went off on a whole nother tangent, and that y'all really don't need me to tell you this, but DON'T spend any money on Laws of Attraction.
It really was by-the-numbers dreck that was lifted to a C-minus by a cast that was, mostly, much better than the material.
The only thing that made me a smile a bit was near the end, when Julianne Moore really needs a piece of information, and she tells an airlines employee, basically, "I need you to be that guy who helps me out." ... It seemed like a miniscule nod to Magnolia, but maybe I was just ready for the film to be over at that point.
I totally thought that too. I gave the movie an F+ for that line.

Except for
The New Guy.
And The Core.
This movie really didn't work for me. It's a shame because I love the two leads (especially Julianne Moore). But I really didn't think she was very good at all and the script is just dead. It's not very funny, only slightly romantic and predictable from beginning to end. Not a terrible movie, just not a very good one.

and your point is???
Quote from: QuoyleIt's a shame because I love the two leads (especially Julianne Moore). But I really didn't think she was very good at all...
I thought her facial mannerisms were hilarious and she certainly had the right tone for the character, but sadly her character is the same old cliche of an uptight woman whose vice (see: flaw) is eating junk food. Her and Pierce were far better than the film. They had chemistry and played off each other well, but they were working with a flat script that didn't give them much to do in terms of a romance or comedy. Tracy and Hepburn did better in Adam's Rib, which this film seemed it wanted to be.

..yeah i agree with my man tazzzzz
...i m not a style expert like steven cojocarou (that guy that looks like a girl whose on E! and the today show)...but anyway the Peter Pan animated avatar is very unfashionable..
I never agreed to fashion :wink:
