Question for those who went to the movie, and sort of off topic: if people can still afford to go to movies, buy video games ( I think the 1 billion dollars in sales figure was recently cracked in the US), buy cigarettes and play the lottery (I recently was stuck in line behind 4 people buying lottery tickets (and let me put this gently, they didn't have the "appearance" of wealthy people), is the price of gas really hurting people as much as they claim it to be? Seems to me that a lot of Americans still have a lot of disposable income in spite of the high cost of gas.

Well I mean you still have people that buy lottery, beer, cigs, games, and go shopping, and watch movies but I still think it has taken a toll on people. Like now people will probably shop online instead of traveling to Lexington to the mall (if they live a couple of hours away). I think it's being hit but just not at a drastic measure yet.

Also, I didn't go out and watch the movie, I watched it on my computer :sssh:

But in regards to this movie, I thought it was pretty good, I think Norton done a great job and that the acting was very good. I also wish they would have left the Captin America scene in it but when it comes out I'll post the link to it.

 

 

I would love to see Downey Jr, Norton, reprise their roles for the Avengers movie.

Norton was very upset with the producers and stuff of the movie. Apparently he rewrote a part of it or something to that nature, and wasn't given credit for the rewrite. Thus he didn't promote the movie alot.

Its called Free Movie passes for this guy. I certainly have curtailed my spending but my drive to work is 5 min so I rationalize some disposable spending. With that said, I certainly enjoy the movie experience and only go if tickets are free or if there is a fantastic movie out with great reviews.

 

I cant believe people pay $4 a pack for cigs and some smoke 2 packs a day. That is $250 a month in smokes.

Lonardo DeCaprio is a very good actor. I think he'd do a great job. He did a very good job in The Departed.

 

 

Leo is a very good actor but he just doesn't strike me as a Captain America. I can't think off the top of my head who would be good for the role but something about Leo or Brad Pitt just doesn't work for me. I hope whoever they pick that they hit gold with the choice. For example, Tobey Maguire was amazing as Spider-man and same with Christian Bale as Batman. I hope it is something like that, where they pick someone that just stands out.

I think they cut some of the movie out that he wanted to keep in as well..

I have cut the driving down as much as possible. But this summer I have a good job paying me pretty good, so I can afford to go out once in a while. Plus I split the driving to work with my roommate, whom I work with.
