Change of Pace for McG by #1 Zero	Dec 14th, 2006 10:59:37 PM
This looks like a total Departure for McG. It would be interesting to see how he handles it. By the way McConaughey showed up in his character's 1970's plaid jacket to a television interview. I think he is just trying to show that he can be the sexiest man alive wearing anything.

McG probably wrote these up himself.

Such cute ignorance by rarbeck	Dec 14th, 2006 11:29:44 PM
I'm really glad that the movie looks like it's good. But, we don't mine in Huntington. As far as I'm concerned, the best thing that come out of this movie is that people might finally figure out that a) West Virginia is a state, all on its own, separate from Virginia and b) It's not all Matewan here, guys.

Don't forget "Two Weeks Notice", which warrants its own chapter in the book "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss. A must-read for all Grammar Nazis.
The only good things Matthew McConaughey has been in.. by Spandau Belly	Dec 15th, 2006 07:03:03 AM
were Dazed and Confused, and Penelope Cruz.

Too right, he is and always will be Wooderson to me, "hey watch the leather man". I love Dazed and Confused with every fibre of my being, it's perfection and my vote for greatest movie ever made.
It's Very Good by kbass	Dec 15th, 2006 08:15:54 AM
I've seen it twice. It's very good. You'll like it if you see it. If that makes me a plant, so be it.
Hmmm... by kbass	Dec 15th, 2006 08:16:52 AM
FYI-The "almost" rhyme in the above post was entirely unintended.
Plant or not... by JediCap	Dec 15th, 2006 08:19:35 AM
They are right. WE ARE MARSHALL is everything we've seen before, but delivered with unique sincerity, honesty and (surprisingly) talent befitting of this true story. And while it is true, the movie never spins off too heavily into any one character's life ... that's kind of the point. Huntington, West Virginia is the 'main character,' as it were, since the town pooled together as a group to get over this tragedy. So, screenwriter Jamie Linden and McG kept the focus exactly where it was supposed to be and end up delivering a very tight and satisfying movie.
God I hate football by Trazadone	Dec 15th, 2006 11:02:56 AM
I'd rather sit through an insurance seminar or go to the DMV with the wrong forms.

Don't fuckin use a name like McG.

In a University he/she are called "President".
I forgot "A Scanner Darkly" by CTU Mole	Dec 15th, 2006 02:16:13 PM
Another grammatical WTF? in movie titles.
In the final sign of the apocalypse...... by Doc_Strange	Dec 15th, 2006 05:15:03 PM
MCG actually manages to make a good movie. FUCK THAT!!! He's totally in the same league with Michael Bay. Soon you'll be seeing him make horrid remakes of movies that didn't need to be remade in order to make more awful movies. He's already producing shit television like The OC.
I'm a Marshall grad. by geekzapoppin	Dec 15th, 2006 06:06:12 PM
First of all, the last thing that school needs is bigger ego for the jocks. When I was there, I had the great "privilege" of living on a floor that was primarily used for housing football players. Their idea of fun was pissing in the laundry room and setting off the fire alarms at 2am. They also had their own meals after everyone else with tablecloths and steak. As far as the plane crash goes, yeah it was sad that so many people died, but AT LEAST THEY WERE FOOTBALL PLAYERS!!! I bet the collective IQ of Marshall rose by about a hundred points that day. Oh, and Huntington is nowhere near a mining town. Go quite a bit more southeast for that. Huntington was more of a railroad town until those started to falter as well. Now, it's a town with a college and not much else. I was so glad to get out of that pit. I'll be staying FAR away from this film, not just because it's about the fuckin' Marshall football team, but because it's McG! McG fer Chrissakes!!! My daily shits are more interesting than his cinematic output.
I meant southwest, dammit. by geekzapoppin	Dec 15th, 2006 06:09:01 PM
Southeast will land you on the VA border which is farming country. My Grandfather was a miner.
"...but at least they were football players?" by Freakemovie	Dec 15th, 2006 06:09:51 PM
Man, you are a little sick. So when you went there, the jocks acted like obnoxious frat boys? Who cares. Real shocker. Poor you.
oh, another grammatically incorrect title.... by Freakemovie	Dec 15th, 2006 06:11:20 PM
Not officially, but some of the posters for The 40-Year-Old Virgin had the mistake "The 40 Year-Old Virgin", as in forty babies who haven't had sex yet. By the way, I have no problem with the "We Are Marshall" grammar since it's obviously not the movie's fault that it was the school's catchphrase.
