Just watched Solaris (George Clooney version). Ask me anything.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

The basics: no, I didn't read the book, nor did I see the 1972 version.

1. Is Natasha McElhome a hottie, or what?

:D

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. I've seen better. (nt)

[Warren Stupidity]

2. how did you manage to sit through the whole movie? (nt)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Because it's not boring, it's slow. Not standard Hollywood fare.

Think of it as the cinematic equivalent of progressive rock.

[Warren Stupidity]

11. the original was slow, the remake BORING

but that's just my opinion.

If you want really slow and really boring you have to go take a cinema course in college. Those movies are best watched sitting in the back of the room with a large jug of cheap wine. "Wait, go back and show us the baby carriage going down the steps again!" Glug glug.

On the other hand I watched IROBOT last night with my kid and that was fast paced and HORRIBLE and one long PRODUCT PLACEMENT COMMERCIAL, but I didn't tell him 'cause he was liking it.

[DrZeeLit]

20. Exactly. Ugh. And I love GC...but I was on the ff button a lot! n/t

[bigwillq]

5. IS it worth seeing? (nt)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. Yes -- if you like brainy movies.

It is deeply philosophical, kind of like 2001, but without any half-hour long acid trip, which is an advantage.

9. If you watch the original Solaris

a half-hour long acid trip isn't such a bad idea. :-)

I liked the original Russian version better, but the George Clooney one wasn't half bad.

6. We you able to stay awake.

I fell asleep the 1st time .

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Yes.

Well, the fact that it aired 3 pm helped.

[CanuckAmok]

8. Do you think it was a metaphor for Mrs. Garret buying the bakery?

And having Tootie and Blair help her run it?

[salvorhardin]

10. Never has a shark been so thoroughly jumped

since Fonzi did it. :-)

[CanuckAmok]

15. Are we perhaps forgetting...

Laverne, Shirley, Lenny and Squiggy moving to L.A.?

[salvorhardin]

17. Sorry, does not compare n/t

[bigwillq]

12. Do you like apples? (nt)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. Yes, but I prefer bananas. (nt)

[bigwillq]

16. Do you ever donate blood? (nt)

[bigwillq]

18. is it snowing where you are? (nt)

[Deja Q]

19. Why'd they cop the name from an Atari 2600 video game?
