Re: Flight
This reminds me - did anyone else think it was unintentionally funny when one flight attendant said to another "I just crashed last night and went straight to bed?"

Re: Flight
I really enjoyed the film, but I do agree with some of the negative comments. I think raj was the one who said DW should keep his top on now!! And the drug-taking didn't have to be like an instructional video!!

Re: Flight
Saw it last night at Greenwich Odeon, which was fairly full. Unfortunately that meant being stuck with a little hyena close by, laughing at most bizarre moments.
As for the movie itself, I thought it was pretty good until they turned it into another Hollywood crap. It's like they have decent ideas but have to always spoil it with the happy ending/life lesson/bad turned good/whatnot. All in all am glad it didn't cost me anything but some time, part of which was not a waste.
And I agree with others, DW is a great actor but dude, it's time to keep the clothes on. You're past your "Glory".
5/10

Re: Flight
Wimbledon was completely full as usual. It started well, then sagged a bit and I didn't like the ending. Not too terrible but wouldn't watch again. Glad Beate mentioned the poor sound quality, I thought it was just me. The Christian bits got the biggest laughs.

Yes somebody says 'God Bless You' to Piers Morgan which clearly makes this a work of fantasy.jeanelle wrote: The Christian bits got the biggest laughs.

Re: Flight
i mostly enjoyed it as it raised questions about DW's life[spoiler]as a high functioning alcoholic.[/spoiler]
i kept wondering would he have been able to fly like that under different circumstances [spoiler]i.e. sober.[/spoiler]
but i accepted the basic premise until the ending. [spoiler]was this ending done by focus group? it was so hallmark-sweet i felt it ruined the goodwill i had amassed up to that point.[/spoiler]
for a better ending, in my head, i will imagine it ended ten mins early [spoiler]with them applauding him at the trial.[/spoiler]
Oscar winning? I am not sure.

Re: Flight
So I was not that far wrong then! For a change. 
Sorry, to hear that you lost your scarf, Beate. How could someone find it and not hand it in? I hope they do and you get your scarf back.
