So Badly Written You'd Think It Was a Plant. But.... by heywood jablomie	Aug 5th, 2006 03:55:30 AM
....then he pans it. Quality control, please, AICN!

spit take; well-played, Mori.
I stopped reading at "Yo Dudes" by DirkD13"	Aug 5th, 2006 04:19:21 AM

it's my style by llephen	Aug 5th, 2006 04:34:44 AM
i could spent an hour proofreading and re-reading everything i wrote and deleting all the colloquial stuff i wrote along with all the unnecessary babbling, but i didn't. cause i just wanted to give it some flavor and make it interesting to read. cause i know how it is when you go on here and see some article about some movie you haven't heard of that's way off in the future and you start reading the review and it's all cut-and-dry language like an air conditioner instruction manual.. so whatever. thanks for posting this up moriarty! Also the main reason i'm posting here is that i wanted to make sure everyone knows that he doesn't die in the carbomb at the beginning, because he's standing out in the field by the horses when the car blows up! So what i wrote wasn't a spoiler. I also realized reading this that i didn't mention that the acting was superb by everyone in the movie. I also forgot to mention Sydney Pollack as Michael's boss.
Goddamn, Clooney is overrated by Karl Childers	Aug 5th, 2006 06:57:20 AM
He's not that great of an actor. Puh-lease.
Wow, a Double Plant! by chrth	Aug 5th, 2006 07:24:18 AM
For the movie, and for Ghost Hunters!
Agreed by WestMemphisThree	Aug 5th, 2006 07:43:13 AM
Yeah, it does almost sound like a planted one. Be interesting to see what happens with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =oeNhEvpab0g
Your "style" is a fucking joke. by Nate Champion	Aug 5th, 2006 08:49:19 AM
Unless, of course, illiteracy can pass for art these days.
There weren't enough boring Grisham movies? by CreasyBear	Aug 5th, 2006 09:06:05 AM
I loved the Bourne movies, but this movie sounds like a wristwatch-checker.
The car blows up two times! by ldm882	Aug 5th, 2006 09:32:17 AM
And a new talkback catchphrase is born
The New Generation Of Studio Plants by Rebeck	Aug 5th, 2006 09:51:58 AM
New strategy: almost pan it, but not quite - in fact, contradict yourself several times. But give it exposure and a feeling of integrity and make it seem like you were just too much of an idiot to like it but others will. You can always tell a plant by the forced jovial style: talk about painful to sit through. "I still haven't seen season two of blah blah blah, was it a repeat or--?" Oh shut the fuck up.
This guy just used his quota of the word by slder78	Aug 5th, 2006 09:57:53 AM
"law" for the next decade. Furthermore, he has earned a sentence to 4 years at an accredited high school english class.
If this guy's a plant, I miss the leafier version. by CreasyBear	Aug 5th, 2006 09:58:21 AM
Unadulterated praise! Helloooo, Oscar! My homies and I were literally rolling in the aisles, yo! This kid is the next Brad Pitt, except cooler! Forget those other stupid movies coming out this Friday! THIS one is THE MOVIE EVENT OF THE YEAR!

Anyone like a glass of milk?
George Clooney, law guy at law... by Nodwick	Aug 5th, 2006 10:27:23 AM
"...a lawyerish law guy that works at a law office." Best. Character portrait. EVAR!
wow by ennui	Aug 5th, 2006 10:48:56 AM
I am stunned by that review. I am hoping that the author is an excellent troll rather than what he appears.
And that man was... by Don Lockwood	Aug 5th, 2006 10:51:20 AM
....Joel Siegel.
Hmm... by floydtheater07	Aug 5th, 2006 11:37:52 AM
They filmed the car explosion scene within a few miles of my house. I hate to admit it, but for that reason alone, I will probably see this movie.
Legal thrillers need to be tight as a Nun's pussy... by Alonzo Mosely	Aug 5th, 2006 01:05:04 PM
Otherwise they don't work. And, yes, I am probably going to hell now...
uh by llephen	Aug 5th, 2006 03:25:33 PM
I don't even know what to say to these plant allegations. I am conflicted between just ignoring you children because attention is what you crave, or if i should call you all retards. I've written other reviews on here, do a search. As for the people that don't like the way i wrote this review, i don't have anything to say. you can have your opinion, but if you think i'm stupid, my opinion is that you're wrong and you need to take a better look before you open your yap.
that by llephen	Aug 5th, 2006 04:01:28 PM
the reason for that wording is that it's sort of a theme of the movie. he's not a trial lawyer and his status with the firm is not clear, and he's not exactly a lawyer. OK?
a thoughtful, eloquently written review... by chickychow	Aug 5th, 2006 05:57:15 PM
"I haven't seen that movie and i don't really have any intention to, but not because i really care - quite the opposite - i don't care." Bravo, sir, bravo.
The great mind ceases its flourish! by chickychow	Aug 5th, 2006 06:06:52 PM
"you can have your opinion, but if you think i'm stupid, my opinion is that you're wrong and you need to take a better look before you open your yap." You are a poet and a wordsmith and I raise a fist to whatever sort heathen dares to declare you a plant, gentle man.
One of the best reviews and talkbacks...ever. by vinceklortho	Aug 5th, 2006 08:50:15 PM
seriously, great work. Perfect amount of people here, not too crowded and most certainly very weird. Brillant.
P-L-A-N-T... by JohnGalt06	Aug 5th, 2006 10:32:15 PM
PLANT....seriously, this is pathetic.
whoever wrote this review by Brundlefly	Aug 6th, 2006 12:23:54 AM
is a fucking idiot...
Plant or no plant? by stereochad	Aug 6th, 2006 12:52:30 AM
Well I for one don't think this guy is a plant. Hey. What's this? "That woman from Constantine that played Gabriel that was also in Narnia and The Beach (Tilda Swinton) plays the head of the legal team...." DAMN! The gig is up bro, run run run.
. by llephen	Aug 6th, 2006 02:29:41 AM
this is the last time i'm gonna post anything in this talkback, because you kids are apparently absolutely incorrigible. I was thinking about responding and saying that you guys are really really stupid, because what kind of planted review would be so vaguely positive/negative? what kind of hype would that generate? does logic work with you kids? But then i realized that "plant" is probably just what gets triggered in your brain cells when you read a review on this site that's not written the exact same way as every other review ever (in other words, the type of review that gets me labelled "a fucking idiot"). Whatever. I already look stupid enough just for responding to this crap so personally, so this is where i take my leave. Let the accusations and insults fly from here on out, kiddos.
Did Llephen take his ball and go home? by Ray Garraty #47	Aug 6th, 2006 09:53:33 PM
Sounds like a bad movie regardless.
that reviewer is sort of mentaly challenged by chien_sale	Aug 6th, 2006 10:17:33 PM

He's probably not a PLANT . . . by PMonkeyReclaimed	Aug 7th, 2006 04:09:23 AM
and just some dude sitting at his computer for longer than he should like all the rest of us . . . which makes this that much sweeter. FUCK YOUR FAKE ASS REVIEW, YOU PLANT BITCH! Ha! C'mon ya'll! This shit is fun.
Robert Plant is in this movie? by oceansized	Aug 7th, 2006 11:28:46 AM
Hope he's better than Steven Tyler was in that Get Shorty sequel. But seriously llephen, if you're a regular at this site, then surely you must've known you were gonna get flogged for the poor quality of that review. Prove them all wrong by making the next one a little tighter.
