the bruce man has harry stamper. a gruff man of principles, big heart inside, though he usually would bristle at the thought of showing it to anyone. stand up guy.

liv as his succulent daughter gracie. ROARRR! "that is my FATHER up there!!"

afleck as AJ. i even like him in this movie!

buschemi as the nut, that's no surprise.

billy bob as truman. you feel for him, he just wants to be up there, man.

michael clarke duncan as "bear"! hahah!!

owen wilson the wide eyed gee whiz type guy.

man, i wish i was in this movie.

Is it really worth watching? Because I seriously never saw it because I was scared of wasting my time, but if you say it's worth seeing I'll trust your opinion and stuff... maybe.

I hate this movie because I thought it was crappy and it made me cry anyway, and I felt like the world's biggest sap.

You are as a statue being sculpted by subtraction, J. Each post you make is a piece of discarded clay, sloughed off by its maker as he whittles down the original block from a shapeless mass into the form underneath that it's always been meant to be. Up to this point, your posts have slowly unveiled a beautiful David, his muscular body standing leisurely in a contraposto pose. But, as the artist reaches the head, he makes a post about Armageddon and reveals a bulbous clown nose affixed to that Adonis-like face. This is what you've done to your internet persona, J. This is what you've done to what we had together.

it's not a literary work of art. it's made by people who know the standard tricks to get an emotional response in the format of a blockbuster movie, i think. when i read this topic, it sounds kinda dumb, but i've really enjoyed it each time i've watched it.

i'm laughing and crying at the same time! i'm tempted to delete the post, but what's done is done, and i don't want your post to disappear. i mean, it made me laugh and cry.

i'm just being vulnerable lately, fellas. i'll be back to my normal distant, evasive self in no time.

It's alright. I'm sure you could just shave the whole proboscis off and claim that it was blown off by Napoleon's canons in the eighteenth century. That's what the Egyptians did.

Has anybody ever figured out why the hell there's a Criterion version of this on DVD?
