Walk the Line

[farmgirl]

I'm sure this has been discussed at length, but what did you think? I'm getting ready to watch it now. I've only heard good things....

[ed316]

Good movie. One of the best so far.

[Aerosoul]

johnny cash had a lake house round here....one of the Beagees bought it. it's a really awesome place.

as for the movie.... heard it was excellent. just not the kinda movie i usually watch (Ray, and the like). so i havent seen it.

[Clete Torres]

You're going to hear some toe-tapping music. Walk The Line was my 2nd favorite movie from last year. You'll love it, but if I were you I'd hold off on seeing it for a couple days and share the experience with WB. Movies are always better that way.

[molly747]

I really, really enjoyed it. I dare anyone to watch that movie and not go home and download/buy some of their music.

[Miles.]

FG,

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Great acting and script...

I cried...so bring the Kleenex!

I know I was walking around singing Get Rhythm for at least a month after I saw it. Good stuff.

Agreed, one of the Man's best songs...the movie has great music, and they do a good job of recreating the sound of Johnny Cash and June Carter.

[Ratamacue]

I haven't seen it myself, and I've heard that it's a good movie, but I've also heard that it follows nearly the same exact format as Ray when it comes to the events that happen in the movie (i.e. growth toward success, drug addiction, relationship problems, etc.). Again, though, that isn't my personal observation but what I've heard from more than one person.

What was your favorite?

I saw about half of Walk the Line on a flight to Oregon before I passed out. I loved what I saw - it was hard to believe the actors were doing the singing themselves. And I went into the movie thinking that Joaquin Phoenix didn't look a thing like Johnny Cash, but within a couple of minutes of the start of the movie he was Johnny Cash. Really amazing. Gotta watch the rest of it...

[Clete Torres]

Munich was my favorite film from last year and Ria can kiss my ass for not liking that movie.

[Ria]

Yes, yes, yes. Clete is 100% right. Wait for WB!!


The movie is absolutely wonderful, definitely one of my favorites. I can't explain how much more meaningful it is that the actors sang instead of just a voiceover. It's so much more powerful.

I liked Ray but Walk the Line isn't so glitzy. But yes, Rat is right about the formats, although that doesn't take away from anything. It's hard not to format it that way, especially when such similar events have happened in these two peoples' lives. And Ray isn't all that original in its format either. Both movies are fine like that.

I've also heard other people say that it's a love story above all else. Which I agree with, but June was his life and soul, and you get who Johnny was, not just how many awards he's won.

Clete: I guess I'll have to kiss your ass cause Munich sucked mine. :|
Ok Munich wasn't terrible but it didn't move me. I did like the scene when they were going to bomb the apartment though. Most suspenseful part of the whole thing.

[Ratamacue]

Clete: I guess I'll have to kiss your ass cause Munich sucked mine. :|I think that's the most vulgar thing I've ever heard you say.

[Flagg]

Just watched it on the ferry last week...solid movie.

I thought Jaquim(sic) Phoenix was very good in it...and probably more oscar worthy than Reese Witherspoon.....but who cares...Reese Witherspoon looked shagtastic.

Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt" just before he took the big dirt nap got me listening to his stuff......pretty talented guy and a good story to tell.

Also, "A Golden Ladder" is a great one on that album...

when i went to his lakehouse, i was in awe. one of the coolest places i been.

[Graspol]

"It ain't you babe,no no no no....."
I really liked the movie a lot.
I was kind of raised on country music:oops:
My dad's a real C&W fan,so he had the"Live at Folsom Prison" record too.
We played it until it turned grey. I even had the luck to see him perform live in Rotterdam when i was about 12 years old.

[colonel]

Heres the deal. I HATE country music and I think that Reese W is a complete chop. The last movie I ever wanted to see was 'walk the line' but out of boredom and the fact that the other movies showing were of some alien invasion of some arb planet I went to go and see it.

Well blow me did I enjoy it. Rees and J blew me away with their acting and singing. I loved the movie so much I even bought the soundtrack CD in the mall directly after the show.

[Bugalugs]

i knew nothing of him until i saw the movie, so it was all news to me.

loved it, and I now have all his music that's fit to illegally download



did i just say that?

[James]

I know I was walking around singing Get Rhythm for at least a month after I saw it. Good stuff.

I'm on a "Cocaine Blues" kick right now.

[Flagg]

Can anyone confirm whether it's actually Jaquim and Reese singing in the movie.

If so, I'd give them both a double thumbs up.

I'm just wondering if "I did all the singing" equals "I did all my own stunts even though no insurance company in the world would ever allow that to happen."

On an obscurely related note, I just found out that the warden of Fulsom prison during Johnny Cash's concert there was my wife's uncle.

[Aerosoul]

yes they are the ones singing....

[Bugalugs]

yup. apparently Reese (who's mine BTW, back the **** off!!!) threw up with nerves during one of her first goes at singing for the movie

[Aerosoul]

apparently Reese (who's mine BTW, back the **** off!!!)

yall probly wont believe this, but Reese is actually one of my cousins.
her dad's a doc here in nashville, and she went to a prestigious all-girls high school here.

You can have her. She don't do a thing for me.

so when do i get my introduction? I'm sure my wife won't mind!

she was the only good thing in "Little Nicky", where she played the angel. God, she was hot.

[Clete Torres]

I can't believe that we haven't heard one peep from Farmgirl about the movie. I've got a sneaking suspicion that she didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of us did. :roll:

I loved it. I'd watch it again, and there aren't too many movies that I would watch more than once.

edit: I plan to buy the soundtrack tomorrow (when I go pick WB up at the airport woot woot)

[HoboWithAK]

I guess i'm one of the few who thought it sucked?

[Marvin!!]

Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt"

That would be


NIN cover of Cash's "Hurt"


Please...


Haven't seen the movie, but I've been a fan of his music for years. Great stuff. When the Man Comes Around, I Walk The Line, Don't Take Your Guns To Town are my faves...

[Clete Torres]

Your taste is in your ass Hobo.











EDIT: Marvin you're a moron.

[HoboWithAK]

Your taste is in your ass Hobo.

No, that movie sucked. It jumped around way too much, spent very little time on constructive character building, and was just overall very boring to watch. The acting was good, though.

[Marvin!!]

EDIT: Marvin you're a moron.


WTF was that for? :|

[HoboWithAK]

WTF was that for? :|

Because neither NIN or Cash originally wrote/composed that song.

[Marvin!!]

OK then I stand corrected

EDIT: Clete Torres you're a ****

[Clete Torres]

WTF was that for? :|
Because NIN did the original of Hurt and because you corrected Flag saying otherwise.

[Hellfish]

Bull****!!!

[Bugalugs]

Bull****!!!

Oi!

New Rules - No Hoe-Moes who don't get a ***** for Reese allowed in this thread

Silencer, youve got a waiver

If you don't renounce your unrequited love for Reese Witherspoon I'll ban you to the nether-regions.

She's mine if both of us ever get divorced.

[Haiw]

Walking the line is overrated, crossing the line is where it's at.

Thats OK...as long as you ban me to Reese's nether regions.

Hear, hear! :lol:

Heard it was good so I downloaded it.....was a slow DL too.... about 1.5GB

So I sit down ready to watch....and I DLed the Russian version!!!

I havnt retried it yet.

[James]

Her husband and father of their two children might take issue with that.

I'll take that clown down to China Town in The Battle For Reese.

He's on the outer anyway, my sauces tell me.




P.S.
My sauces also tell me to use a condiment
