You never know. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I even want to know how much they shelled out to get Hanks, Hoffman, and Roberts in the same movie in those large roles.<BR/><BR/>Fletch - <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the recommendation of The Nines; I did like it. I had not noticed much about Reynolds circulating around, but I don't even watch TV or read the newspaper so I am completely out of the loop on news and gossip. Although that seems terrible to some, I absolutely love not knowing all that stuff.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10006587494543539846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913078588713147419.post-58020945262332619272008-05-13T23:03:00.000-04:002008-05-13T23:03:00.000-04:00Glad you enjoyed The Nines. Though he's been almost overexposed as of late, I'm liking Reynolds a lot and see potential there. He's got talent, for sure.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, John August made a fun, deep, just-outside-the-mainstream, and he made it on a budget (filmed at his house, etc), but it looks great.Fletchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913078588713147419.post-25236492833423225892008-05-13T14:41:00.000-04:002008-05-13T14:41:00.000-04:00I wish I could avoid it. My wife skipped seeing this with me now she is dying to check it out. <BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I'll be seeing it again and if I must, might as well see a different version.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think about that but Hanks/Hoffman/Roberts don't come cheap nowadays...be curious to see their salary vs budget.WaywardJamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16653916483973674603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913078588713147419.post-4947292786136512002008-05-13T07:05:00.000-04:002008-05-13T07:05:00.000-04:00The Director's Cut for Walk Hard is probably not funnier than the theatrical release. I think it was too long. They even joked about the length on the DVD. If you did not think it was funny in the theater I would recommend avoiding it on DVD. <BR/><BR/>I was actually surprised about Charlie Wilson's War. I was not excited about it, but it ended up being quite good. I still wish they had had decent special effects though. Apparently the whole budget was spent on the cast.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10006587494543539846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913078588713147419.post-86781453325666358652008-05-12T13:59:00.000-04:002008-05-12T13:59:00.000-04:00I've only seen Walk Hard & Charlie Wilson's War but I thought the former only ok and the latter great.<BR/><BR/>I've toyed with seeing the WH director's cut, hoping it to be funnier than the theatrical. Sounds like it may have been.<BR/><BR/>Totally agree on CWW, the performances great, the effects bleh, a history lesson worth watching.WaywardJamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16653916483973674603noreply@blogger.com
