I just watched Lions for Lambs. Ask me (almost) anything.

[ashling]

I thought it was a really good movie.

[nuxvomica]

1. I didn't watch the whole thing

It seemed like it was going to be just a series of poorly written debates. So does it get better after the first hour or so?

[ashling]

2. I don't agree with your premise

I don't think it started out weak. I enjoyed the different situations and how they are all tied together.

[Inchworm]

4. you missed out

:)

3. hows the wine?

:P

[ashling]

5. Actually, I haven't had any wine in

probably several months at least (except to cook with) :shrug:

6. Do Hannibal and Clarice hook up?

You can tell he's totally into her.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. why did you like it

there didn't seem to be much of a point to the movie. They set up three distinct storylines and kinda never went anywhere with them. Plus the ending is depressing.

[ashling]

8. You missed the point

the point is that Tom Cruise is a fucking idiot and a pompous asshole!
:rofl:

First of all, I am a graduate teaching assistant so I really got into the Professor / Student story line which, in the end is the main one I was left with.

The other two were both great story lines in and of themselves, but for me were support for the other. This was not so much a war protest, administration protest, which it served well, but a call to action movie. (though I think it worked on all points)

It left some things hanging for you to think about, but I don't think you have to tie it all up in a nice bow for it to be good and have redeeming value.

Besides, as I mentioned earlier, it made one thing very clear: Tom Cruise is a fucking idiot and a pompous asshole!
:rofl:


also, I really liked the characterizations. Remind me of my own life. Life is what happens while you are making plans

9. I liked it. Didn't love it.
