    Was I only one who felt that Ben Affleck's storyline was a shorter and less sappy version of "Jersey Girl"?

    I hadn't wanted to see this until now. But now I do but maybe I'll stop it at the last 10 minutes. I'll pretend the Coen brothers did the ending.

    I have been interested in seeing this film ever since I saw the trailer a couple of months ago. Good to hear the Ben Affleck isn't being so 'bad that you want to punch in the face awful' compared to some of this performances. I will probably see this a some point, but will probably wait until it is on DVD, and rent it then.

    Deus ex machina is latin and it translates as. "God from the Machine".  In early Greek plays when the drama was coming to a head, a God or Cultural figure would descend from heaven to resolve whatever problems there were.  One of the best examples of early writers lampooning the use of the Deus Ex Machina which was made popular by Euripides this is "The Clouds", by Aristophanes in which Socrates descends from the sky in a basket to initiate a new student in the wasteful pursuit of philisophical education.

    Ben Affleck looks way older here than in the Town.

    Somebody tell me what a deus ex machina is i thought it was an anime but i keep hearing Cyrus referring to it

    It looks entertaining enough.. Whenever Tommy Lee Jones asks someone in a film if they're in on a potential investment, then you should "feel it in your blood" that they'll succeed.

    Hey, this might be the movie for me seeing as how I was recently laid off.  I'll give it a shot as soon as I can find some cash.  Off to the sofa cushions once again.

    It's interesting how you guys sometimes talk like you are powerless to the rating you give a movie.

    I'm a sucker for dramas like this, hope it hits the local theater. I'm in the same boat as Leon (LOVE everything Chris Cooper does-- especially American Beauty and October Sky. Best 'dad' character actor ever, no question.)

    You guys make me want to watch it, but still not sure.

  • December 15, 2010 at 1:29 AM, said ...

    Wasn't interested before, but now i wanna see it!

    You guys make this movie sound really good.  I'm like a lot of people.  I have a job.  It's not a great job, but it's a good one - and every day I wonder if I'll walk into work and see some HR drone ready to slap me with a pink slip.  I'm getting kind of old now and I have heard people tell me that that want to go with a younger guy, which really burns me, but that's life.  Don't have much sympathy for corporate suits losing their jobs.  But you guys do make this sound good.

    Ben Affleck and Chris Cooper gets screwed in The Town... Ben Affleck and Chris Cooper gets screwed in The Company Men....NOW they both get screwed w/ the Golden Globes :(

    HOW IN THE F*CK does JOHNNY DEPP get nominated for THE TOURIST? lol seriously, is that a joke? I mean I saw The Tourist and unless i was watching the wrong movie..the ONLY thing that should be considered for nomination in that movie is Venice!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Johnny Depp...acting like a normal guy running away, pretending to be confused lol.

    HELL P.Diddy deserved more of a nomination for Get Him to the Greek because he was the only guy who even saved that movie.

    That said, this actually looks pretty good, but still....

  • December 14, 2010 at 10:27 PM, Santos said ...

    As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie I thought, "At this point in time, who the hell would want to see a movie about people losing their jobs regardless of who those people are?".

  • December 14, 2010 at 10:24 PM, Santos said ...

    Thanks to Cyrus, I now know how to pronounce "deus ex machina". I was always saying, "do ex makina,". LOL
