Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

OMBejesus. Has anyone else seen this? Did you cry, like, 17 times like I did? Or did you just cry continuously from start to finish?

Re: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

  • Is it good?  The cast involves some of my favorite, but I have less interest in 9/11 fiction than I have in Holocaust fiction.

  • The previews make me cry, which puts it firmly in the "I would sooner die than subject myself to the misery" camp.

  • It was good. Just very hard to see and kind of re-live. It made me a little panick-y again, being reminded of all the chaos that was happening at the time.

    I was interested to see how much of the Grandpa's story got put into the movie, and it wasn't much at all.

  • I have absolutely no interest in seeing this. I would rather not relive that day and the period that followed.

  • No thank you. I don't need any help being depressed.

    Tom Hanks seems like he'd be a good dad in real life.

    This, except I will have to see it if it manages to win Best Picture since we are still working on our quest to see them all.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who has no wish to see this.  I don't need Tom Hanks bringing me down man.

    I saw World Trade in the movies and it was really...I don't know. Just difficult. I saw a Huff Post tweet or something that asked if we're "over" Sandra Bullock because it only opened at #4 instead of higher like the Blind Side. And my first thought wasn't, Yeah, I guess everyone is over Sandy and her drama, it was, well, maybe people are unsure if they want to see a movie about that. Ten years is still too fresh and open for them and for some, who knows if they'll ever want or be able to watch to a movie about that. I don't think it has anything to do with the cast. Possibly the cast's likability could get someone to go to see it who was apprehensive about it but I highly doubt that people not seeing has anything to do with their feelings for SB.
  • I'm with November and TSD.  10 years still seems a bit too soon for me.  I love teh cast, but I don't think I will be seeing any time soon.
  • I didn't want to see this but my FB has been blowing up with how amazing it was so I might put it on my netflix list or something.

    I agree, TSD, I think the opening had little to do with the cast and a lot more to do with the subject matter.

  • I saw a poster for this movie a week or so ago in NYC on my way to work and I literally had to stop and breathe.   These people are assholes who market it like that.

    Wait, so you are offended that Hollywood cashed in on tragedy? So no Hurt Locker? No Schindler's List? None of those are ok?

    Did they advertise Hurt Locker in Walter Reed?  I live and work blocks from the WTC site.

  •  I'm not sure if I could do it. Watching the aftermath in person was enough for me.

    If I watch it, I'll wait until it's on DVD so I can ugly cry in privacy. I definitely couldn't handle it in the theater.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • I have never seen a commercial for it, I assumed from the title that it was about autism. I don't know why.. it just seems like a good title for a movie about autism.

    Anyways... I don't think I want to see it.

    I would actually see it, just not in the movie theatre. People are so disrespectful in the theatre and during that kind of subject matter, it can get hairy. The girl next to us during World Trade answered her phone 2x, one of those during the part when the towers were falling. B grabbed her leg to shut her the F up & yelled at her just on sheer emotion without thinking. It just wasn't worth it. We can watch it later on when it's on demand.
