Includes a super tasteful joke about Heath Ledger.

Stan Winston doesn't even make it above the fold? Ouch.

This is getting blown way out of proportion. The source info comes from a spy account recounted on the blog of a well known Brazilian film journalist and translated to English (rather poorly) by Google. Cinemablend is simply taking this isolated and very basic report and amplifying it to serve its own ends. There is no way this scene is getting cut, this is mere sensationalism.

The remake was called "The Astronaut's Wife".

Though Jonze may be considered "independent" he is probably still mega rich (at least by normal standards). My question is, why isn't he out there financing his own stuff, taking a gamble and pushing the art form forward? If Coppola (Francis), Lucas, Scorsese, Lynch, et al. did it back then why can't Jonze, do it now?

Things are so commercialized now that even "independent" features carry the Fox / Miramax / Paramount / Warner Bros. logo. What did Jonze expect? Creative freedom? LOL.

I've been highly anticipating this for months and my loudest thought on the way home was "Wow, Deadwood set the bar so damn high..."

Westerns these days have no sense of continuity -- some characters bother to use an accent, others don't. Most are curiously well-groomed. Everyone is attractive. Were frontiersmen working from that advantageous of a gene pool?

Not sure if the commenter saying this is among the best films of all time was serious. Not sure if the critics hailing this as the "return of the bona-fide Western" were serious either. Seriously, this "movie" is totally indistinguishable from the lesser western retreads of the 90's, hype notwithstanding. It sits solidly between Wyatt Earp and a made-for-TV Wyatt Earp Earpathon. And I wanted to like it!

Kudos to Foster and Bale though... sorry dudes.

That Jokermobile pic is a photoshop manip created by someone on the SuperHeroHype forums. Don't know why JB & the LR haven't taken it down yet but I'd put a caveat in your story if I were you.

Wow. This is the best review I've read in a long time. For serious. Cheers, James.

"The same people that would have voted for Gore before 'An Inconvenient Truth', are the same ones that would vote for him now."

Since he won the popular vote in 2000 that may not be such a bad thing. I guess it'll just depend on who's counting the votes in FL this time (or OH).

i'm dealing with loss too! the loss of 5 minutes spent watching trailers for loser films.
