I think most of us thought it was fine but slightly disappointing. Evenslow really loved it, LV detested it, I thought the score was better than the movie... that was the range of reactions

Tully was mostly good but I was super bummed out about the boring and overdone turn near the end. It could've been so much more

Young Adult.

Just re watched it. I saw two other times and with each view im more and more surprised on how depressed and shitty Theron´s character is. She is so fuckin good and the fact that her character was about to actually try to change and didnt its a huge kudos to both Reitman and Cody.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Up In The Air is amazing. Another example of a movie with a very flawed main character and a very sour ending. And handled so so good.

Juno hasnt aged well...but Up In The Air, Young Adult and Tully are amazing.

I find up in the air pretty boring... Maybe it's the Clooney effect. Also that actress with the weird face...

Mine would be Richard Jenkins ("We just don't give out that sort of information at Hardbodies"), but yeah Clooney was good in that.
He's pretty much that same character in every movie he's in tho, isn't he? I admire how weird Pitt and Clooney get

You don't deserve to breath the same air as Richard Jenkins, you monster
I like him but in Burn his star ain't as brightly shining as
The Pitt Clooney folk
