I wanted to see this so bad at the broadway. I had heard such good things. Then some guy in line told me he didn’t care for it so i changed my mind and saw something else. You’ve now put it back on my list.

PREACH!

I’ve been seething over those adds. For all the exact points you made.

Also I hate that the branding doesn’t accurately reflect the leadership of the church. It portrays diversity, but fails to capture that the larger majority of it’s forefront leaders and advocates are middle class white males. #hashtags

Also where are the gays?! Where are the gay and “i’m a mormon” commercials! I’ve heard there are THOUSANDS of same gender attracted’s (SGA) and Same Sex Attracted (SSA) living happily amongst the members and thriving! I want to hear their stories!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thank God that Gladys Knight hasn’t done one yet.

Hey SJS, Thanks for commenting.

It is extremely coincidental that these ads are coming out right now, and I assume you’re referring to Romney. In which case, I don’t think you should not vote for someone just because they’re mormon or not. If you agree with his political stance then you should vote for him. Plain and simple.

With that said, I’m voting for Obama.

Hey Brett,

Don’t be sorry for me feeling a certain way.

I’m sorry if I offended you. Have you seen the ads? I know they’re not posted around Utah, but you’ve probably seen the online ads I guess.

Anyway. Hope I didn’t offend you.

Later,
Jason.

God bless her and her family. One of the best voices..ever. Was hoping for a come back and new music. I’ll remember her beautiful voice and being. So sad for her mom and daughter.

we watched this a few weeks ago with my brother who has seen it atleast 8 times no joke. it will probably be the only time i watch it. i left feeling a bit sad really. i don’t remember the oldest boys name but i thought it was interesting that even though he had terrible thoughts about his father and they had a rough relationship when his dad did show him a little love and affection he ate it up. in those small moments it was all that mattered and he was able to forget everything else. it made me think of my own kids and how thats really all they need sometimes is to know they are loved. i think thats what i took from the movie was to be a better parent and remember who my children are even if they aren’t like me or make different choice in life than i would like. i’m really just here to love them, protect them, and help them be the best at who they are.

I didn’t quite know what to expect when going into this film. Or, rather, I had misguided expectations about this movie. Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, directed by the guy who directed The Thin Red Line: this is gonna be a really great indie flick! I think it I had read your post before going to see it, I may have opted not to see it. But I’m glad I did, and I’m glad I saw it in my misguided state, because it made the experience all that much more arresting. My logical mind had a LOT of trouble getting into the lack of story until about halfway through the movie, when I finally gave into the ride, just taking it all in. A friend of mine called the movie a “visual poem,” and I think that’s a fantastic description of it.

I’ll want to see this movie again sometime in the distant future, I think, after my son has gone off to college and I’m once again trying to figure out how to live life.

When I saw this there was a point near the end (the beach scene) when I realized every middle aged woman in my vicinity was crying. I found this surprising given how abstract the film was. I believe they understood the film on a level I couldn’t because they were likely mothers who had experienced giving life to another human being. Their reaction was a response to the film’s portrayal of how truly fragile life is.

We watched this last month. At first I felt like it was something I would only watch in a film class (or at the temple). It did seem somewhat heavy handed and boring – though beautiful. But I ended up really liking it, as did Tyson. I think he saw a lot of parallels to his upbringing, and recommended to his mother who, like me, found herself crying over the scenes of the boys’ childhood, especially the toddler misbehaving after the arrival of the new baby. That scene, like so many others in the film, was so true and real. I think I’ll watch it again someday.

I love that you were googling “Lucille 2″ haha!

Found this after googling for Lucille 2 and BVVP. I also got this terrible condition, in my case after having a viral gastroenteritis. I also thought I was having some sort of stroke, which led to a panic attack that made me feel even worse. But after the doctor told me it was BPPV, I (sort of) felt better. Hope you are feeling better!
