Gravity-Clooney and Bullock

[Fire-medic]

Just saw it in 3D, cinematography is spectacular. For being centered on one person-Bullock- for most of the movie, and alternating between 1st and third-person viewpoints, it's like Robinson Crusoe meets Cast Away. I see a lot of people compare it to 2001 but that really isn't the case, not at-all. Not to me.

Incidentally, today 56 years-ago, the USA got a Russian 'moon,' as Sputnik was launched. Man, did that kick-off an intense technology race, probably bigger than either the race to create a fission device, or its 'replacement,' a fusion device. I was a kid, but I recall going outside to see Sputnik pass-overhead, a trajectory you had to-assume the Russians chose to serve as a frequent, irritating reminder of their technological superiority in space.

The same day, we launched Leave It to Beaver.

I have to think Sandra Bullock will get an Academy Award nomination. Another will likely go for cinematography, and that should be a shoo-in.

If you like science fiction, this is actually contemporary fiction about science, and it's very entertaining. And go watch it and see if you can identify the voice of Mission Control-Houston. Do yourself a favor, and don't read or listen to reports of the movie, and see if you can guess who it is.

Cool, I've been thinking it may be a great movie. Thanx for the insight Fire-medic. A must See...

I want to see this on IMAX. We don't have one close by. May have to travel for it in this case. This movie looks great and worth it......

Cuaron is a great director.

Hard to argue that.

Kind of ties in with Ninjaneer, you get a bigger better Bullock.

Already on my list of must see movies however it will likely be moved to the top after FMs review.

Jesse James is a jerk for being married to her and for not being a better husband. I like his work but he should have worked-more on his morals.

Sandra Bullock looks pretty-good for age 49! I think she reminds a lot of us of that cute girl in school w/a brain, a personality, and a great future. Of course, since we were all whore-dogs, S. B. is not the 'exciting girl' (read, 'someone who puts-out') we wanted at say, 18. So, in that respect we were a bit like Jesse James, but most of us outgrew that, unless we married a high-school sweetheart, and decades-later, are still-married, and still-happy.

I can't think of a stronger movie appearance by her.

Jesse James I think is a ******-bag cheated on Sandra for a tattooed two bit skank. Think he needs his man card pulled he was living the dream building bikes and married to one of the wealthiest woman in Hollywood not to mention she is smart and sexy.

I vote Jesse James the award for ****** bag of the century!

Oh and yes cant wait to see the movie

 

[Fire-medic]

I guess Sandra is one of those people who likes a "bad-boy."

Jesse gets to-keep the 'man-card,' it's just soiled. Now if you wanted to pull his Honorable Husband certificate, that's already been-done!

Kat Von D broke up with Jesse James last September, but she's still feeling the pain. On Friday, the tattoo artist began the process of removing the childhood portrait of her ex-fiancé she got inked onto her left side just weeks before their first split in July 2011. Even though Von D insisted at the time she had no regrets and would never erase the tattoo, that seems to have all changed now.
Along with a photo collage of the ink getting hit with a laser — thanks to Los Angeles' Dr. Tattoff — she wrote on Instagram, "AND SO IT BEGINS! First round of tattoo removal well underway!" adding the hashtag #freshstart.

People in Hollywood sure are weird! Maybe that's why Sandra Bullock moved to TX!

 

[Kronx]

I hate that Jesse did that to Sandra, but Sandra should have known better. By the time he and Sandra got together he already had a LONG LONG LONG history with women. And for Kat Von D... well she definitely shouldn't have been surprised. Just like my grandmother user to say "If they did it *with* you, they'll do it *to* you."

May be a little off topic but. Mary and I just made it to her 50th HS Reunion. They made her wear a picture of what she looked like in High School. She had Coke Bottle Glasses then and was probably a 2 on the 10 scale. I spent the whole night beating her male classmates off as she now blows all the other women out of the water, COMPLETELY. At 68 now they all said she's so far off the scale she looked 30 years younger than all of them and it was her female classmates saying that.
The girl who went un noticed and teased in High School got Sweet Revenge....:clapping: The HS is going to have the Homecoming Queen wear a copy of the same dress Mary had on that night. School Colors are Red and White...

I consider myself a very lucky man but if Sandra came to my door in something Totally Sexy I might be in deep crap. It's not so much a Man Card thing as it is the blood flow switching to the other Man Brain... Does this make me an evil husband?:confused2: I gotta see this Movie. Besides, Mary likes Clooney too.:rofl_200:

Screw JJ. Here I was thinking I was odd man out always having a thing for Ms Bullock. Not the prettiest thing, not the flashiest and no crazy stories attached to her.
A girl you could take home to momma and not have to worry about constantly.
I always try to follow her whenever I see a blurb about her.
Movie was Good, not great or mind blowing. CGI is constantly getting better so the carnage looks cool. A short movie that cries out for a little more post splashdown development.

As-in, "sea lice invade the Doctor's spaghetti-strap knit top. Her skin is on-fire with small nibbling creatures tasting her sweaty flesh, and in a fit of desperation, she pulls-off her top and then her other clothing, and runs-around the shore in slow-motion, while the audience gasps in-amazement at the terrestrial torture she now is faced-with, after having escaped death by space vacuum. This multi-angle scene continues for five or six minutes, until she collapses onto a bed of sea oats, and passes-out. The camera lingers, three or four minutes, as night slowly announces itself via the onset of twilight. Crickets chirp, and a meteor shower briefly scatters trails of thin light across the heavens above her. Fade to black, pause five seconds, and then, pink clouds become more-visible, slowly, we see the astronaut silently asleep, as a new day arrives, and small animals gather by her side, curious about the naked intruder. She stirs, stretches, and yawns, and then, both eyes pop-open, and she sits-up and looks-around at the flora and fauna, a solitary woman, alive by the shore."

What-else do you want? :eusa_dance:

I ended up staying up WAY too late last night watching some YouTube videos of some Jessie James projects. I've determined, I view JJ very much like I view Floyd Mayweather Jr. Inside the ring, Floyd is one of the greatest boxers ever. Outside the ring he's one of the most annoying people ever. I feel the same way about Jesse James inside and outside of his shop.

I saw the movie the other day. It gave me a blending ulcer and I've lost my desire to go into to space. I thought the film was great. But stressful I can't deal with so many catastrophic failures in 90 minutes.
