Robert,
Sorry to hear that...my disk works fine.
I thought this was one of the better movies last year.

Do try and get another copy if you can.

If anyone could appreciate a schizophrenic thread I would think it would be you Robert

As I said in the other thread though, I thought it was great! It's a character piece more than anything else, but it manages to be both funny and dramatic. On top of that it is by FAR Gore Verbinski's best film that I've seen, I'm not his biggest fan.

Couldn't agree more. In fact, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Even when I disagree I can usually see where the other party is coming from. With this movie I can't figure out why someone would like it. Gave it 1 star too.
Maybe I need the "goodness" of it explained to me.

Play it backwards to Dark Side of the Moon. Then you'll understand.

We're getting off topic here, but it is very important to me. I do have a career that doesn't interfere with my family. All I had to do was decide to make half the money I otherwise would. In other words, make family my priority.
This whole topic just strikes a nerve with me. "Americans" think we all have to drive $40,000+ vehicles and live in 3000+square feet, and then we ***** about how you just have to have dual incomes these days to make ends meet. It's crazy.

Our children are the ones paying the price. I look at some of these families and feel sad. To me, the parents are saying, "Johnny, I would rather drive you around in this money pit than spend time with you". I bet Johnny doesn't care what his transportation is. He'd prefer a econo box car and having time with his parents!
Alright, mods can delete this if necessary. It belongs in another forum all together, but I feel better having typed it.

I would hope they wouldn't do that. Because then we might as well just delete life from life.

You just answered the question "what is the value of this movie?". The value of it is found in the fact that it inspired you to not only think about what you did but to also to want to share it with the rest of us.
When Tom Cruise summons his superhuman cleverness to defeat the bad guys in Mission Impossible 3, we will be entertained by that too. And escapism is not a bad thing. But it won't be causing us to think about anything which actually matters in our lives.
And even though it seems to be the opinion of many moviegoers, thinking about what actually matters in our lives is not always boring. Sometimes it can be as entertaining as anything. Especially when it has the ability to give us an occasional belly laugh.

Okay, you've changed my mind about the movie. Two stars it is!

I agree totally with your thought. Problem is, I didn't connect these two topics while watching the movie. I have connected them as a result of this conversation.
Alright, a strong two stars.
