Must Watch: Tremendous Trailer for Lee Daniels' Precious « (Trailer inside and it is good!) - http://www.firstshowing.net/2009...

"Lionsgate has debuted the trailer for Lee Daniels' Precious (on Oprah.com today), the Sundance sensation that is bound to gain even more acclaim in the next few weeks at Cannes. This is one of the most emotionally draining films I've ever seen, but it is a tremendous work of art and definitely worth seeing. This trailer is actually one of the best trailers for an indie film I've ever seen, it does such an exceptional job of showing only enough, but not too much, in order to get audiences in theaters. Precious stars Mo'Nique, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, and one of the most amazing first-time lead actresses you'll ever see, Gabby Sidibe."

I don't curse often, but this is a damn good trailer.
- Amani
Saw this at Sundance. Amazing film - a must see.
- Miriam
Miriam - how can I go to Sundance and see all the cool films? :)
- Amani
Is this based on the novel, PUSH, by Sapphire?!? Dude...
- nakachi
Just opened the link. It is based on PUSH! This is an amazing story. I highly, highly, highly recommend this book. I could pee myself, I'm so excited that it's a movie.
- nakachi
Damn...I gotta see that.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Yes, the movie comes out November 6, 2009 (unless they move it up). I guess I could read the book before the movie. I hear the movie is on fire. You can't even recognize Mariah in the trailer at first.
- Amani
The trailer is a wow. I don't know if I could sit through the whole film. Is there such a thing as too real?
- robert holiday
Oh, it gets real-er...
- nakachi
Wow, that trailer made me cry. I'll have to get that book and then see this.
- joey
That was amazing. Thanks for posting this. Definitely looking forward to it.
- Tsega Dinka
I have heard the trailer doesn't even scratch the surface of the movie (meaning it gets better)
- Amani
Actually, I think the lead character is extraordinarily beautiful so exactly who's message is ringing in your ears, Lindsey?
- nakachi
Liindsey: i think if you read the book you may understand why paula patton was cast....but as Nakachi says, what message are you picking up vs what message they're putting out.
- Liz
And maybe you shouldn't have said "ug mugs".
- nakachi
Wow that trailer had me teared up but good. I will watch the film. At home. When the kids are asleep and I can bawl in peace.
- WorldofHiglet
Well, in regards to the #fixreplies situation, I'm going to come out in favor of @Twitter's decision. Cleans up the stream.
That's fine if you want your options that way. I just think it's crappy to take away the option for those of us that want to see all @replies.
- Miriam
Actually, I agree. There is about a third of the time that I don't want this to be the case and its usually with certain people. When I thought about it this morning those moments popped into mind. Its rather annoying that they took away functionality.

My first two thoughts on the new FriendFeed interface: Looks like Meebo. Feels like Twitter.
Wish they would have separated the Subscriptions & Rooms categories. Though I need to do some more exploring to figure out how to customize it.

I like this theme the best

How Unlikely Was the Historic 11-10 Score? - http://blogs.wsj.com/numbers...
"Did you know that teams win more often when they score 13 points than when they score 14?" This one's for my fellow numerati out there. An absolutely facinating article on the probability distribution of NFL game scores.

Certainly less frustrating than a 13-13 tie. Damn Eagles.

Primary Colors - though I think it is conceptually a better movie than it is acted or produced. It makes you think.

I was going to say American President, too. I love that movie.

Since you've listed favorites of mine, I'll add "The Contender". And- best political move line is from Strangelove: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. "

Election is damn good. But can I say Absolute Power?
- Bryan R. Adams
I went to see Primary Colors having read the book and really didn't enjoy it. Very unimpressed as I remember. Maybe I just don't like Travolta :).
- mattpovey
Does "All the President's Men" count? Loved the representation of the Newsroom in particular.
- mattpovey
"The Fog of War," documentary about Robert Mcnamara
- Ben Austwick
Another vote for Fog of War actually. An amazing film.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy- my favorite book...movie was just no comparison.
- rachel
I Am Legend. I didn't mind the movie, but the book was much better as is.
- Bonnie Dean
Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Enigma . Hunt for Red October. Patriot Games.
- Roberto Bonini
fight club was an incredible, incredible book- the movie wasn't bad, but it didn't live up to the book.
- Chris Hollander
Disagree with the comment about Hunt for Red October. IMHO, that's the best adapted Tom Clancy novel. All the other ones that went to the big screen have been progressively worse. Sum of All Fears: Now that was a bad adaptation.
- Great Scott!
The Phantom Menace
- Josh Haley
Yeah. Red October was the best Clancy adaption. In fact almost a good story in it's own right. But I prefer the book.
- Roberto Bonini
is almost too long for the Internet.
- Steve Lowe
As do I, Roberto.
- Great Scott!
I haven't watched the movie, but I heard they totally butchered The Golden Compass.
- Victor Ganata
Eragon - moderately good book, unwatchable movie. (@Victor - Golden Compass was similar in that regard, though it was at least gorgeous.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
Most books that are turned into movies suck, it seems like it's a rule.
- heather ♥s fauns on mars.
Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews and Watchers by Dean Koontz
- Jennifer Marie Sandbank
Some people will probably say Dune...but I actually thought the movie version (particularly the extended version) was better and more dramatic. "FATHER! The sleeper has AWAKENED!" Totally agree with Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and Sum of All Fears (although Sum was as bad as Clear and Present Danger...they wrote out the whole part of the PAVE LOW helicopter going into the compound with gatling miniguns ablazing!)
- Alex Scoble
Flowers in the Attick, Intensity and Hideaway by Dean Koontz, Single White Female, Less Than Zero.

Jurassic Park. I didn't think the movie was bad when I watched it (before I read the book), but after reading the book, I can't go back to the movie.
- Brian Chang
The Running Man. Gah, was that awful.
- Miriam
Anything by Stephen King, but especially if he had a hand in the screenplay adaptation.
- Admiral Anika
"It" was one of the scariest books I've read. As usual with S. King's books, the movie did not live up to the book.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
@rachel - I have to agree with you. The TV series was even better than the movie, IMHO.
- Mol, Santa Claws
What movie, even if you don't like it, compels you to watch it whenever it comes on TV?
Mine: XXX. Can't explain it, but I will drop everything just to watch this cheesy flick.
- Steven Perez
Tommy Boy. I do generally like the movie, but even if I'm not in the mood to watch it, I end up sitting down until it is done.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Jaws. Whatever point I join it at, I watch it to a finish.
- Dan Light
The Shawshank Redemption (which I do like; but less and less just because of overexposure)
- James (@willia4)
I always kept seeing that "Trilogy of Terror" with the little Zuni fetish doll that tries to kill the main character.
- JoEllen
Leprechaun in the Hood
- Rodfather
The Fugitive, Crimson Tide, and Hunt for the Red October. I adore all three of those movies and I can always watch them no matter when I happen to come across them.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Clash of the Titans
- Josh Haley
Any James Bond Movie

Star Wars 4-6: even though i own the damn things, i still watch. The Last Starfighter: is a must see any time. Shawshank Redemption: espcially the last 40 minutes or so.

oh yes! Goonies!
- Capn' One Eye - adrift
Beetlejuice, the Adams Family, Martian Child, When Harry Met Sally/You've Got Mail, any Robin Williams...even if i've seen them a million times

Agree with all that chose Birdcage, cannot resist this movie.

@Josh Haley yes, any James Bond movie, even though I have them all on DVD.
