I think this one has a good chance of being a fun movie to watch, despite the star overloading

I've read that it's apparently terrible, which is unfortunate. I really wanted the movie to be good. I still might watch it.

Man I think that looks just awful. S'too bad :-/

I thought this was going to be about the book, holy shit.

I bet Jon Ronson is pleased that he is being played by Ewan McGregor, just look at his smile

Of course, maybe he's less pleased about the fact that he's now an American dude and holy shit I just watched the trailer.

I am probably going to have to see this film just for the hell of it. Jesus christ!

It was a fun book. I was embarrassed picking it up because it was in the New Age section

I thought the trailer looked awesome.

I support Jeff Bridges.

I wish I could get that made into a button.

This comes out in America on my birthday, are we going to all go see it?

JD · « **Reply #8 on:** 08 Oct 2009, 23:39 »

Yeah I will watch it because of Jeff Bridges

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #9 on:** 09 Oct 2009, 05:11 »

Definitely looks funny

I am okay with The Dude as a soldier. I am okay with this.

Dazed · « **Reply #11 on:** 12 Oct 2009, 14:00 »

God damnit I fucking hate Euan McGregor

I can understand Americanising the part, since Hollywood does that as a matter of course, but getting a British man who is not very good at American accents to play an American when the character is based on a Briton... Now that's just being silly.

I will probably watch this, it'll be surprisingly good or a total clusterfuck and either of those will entertain me enough to make it worth my time.

It looks funny as hell?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #14 on:** 15 Oct 2009, 11:34 »

Looks funny.

I love Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and, to a lesser extent, George Clooney. Ewan McGregor is whatever but sometimes he's in good movies despite his mediocrity.

I'll most likely see it.

Saw it tonight, quite enjoyed it.

io9 had a fascinating review about this

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Nov 2009, 15:27 »

I thought it was an enjoyable movie, but I feel like a lot of it was carried by the audience in the theatre.

I don't know whether I'll ever feel the need to see it again.

Be My Head · « **Reply #18 on:** 09 Nov 2009, 23:42 »

I saw it and I thought it was strange, a little anti-climactic, and I couldn't quite get what they were trying to say, but overall it was enjoyable.

Scarychips · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 Nov 2009, 15:55 »

I'm on my way to the movie theater. I'll either edit this post or post my impressions later.

Christophe · « **Reply #20 on:** 19 Nov 2009, 10:21 »

I definitely enjoyed watching it, but the jury is still out in my head as to whether or not it was a good movie or a great one.

Siibillam-Law · « **Reply #21 on:** 20 Nov 2009, 14:39 »

I thought it was a great film, although a bit of a mess in some places, where the plot seemed to be goig nowhere. It was funny as hell though. Reminded me a bit of the Coen Bros' work
