I laugh at it every time I see the trailer.

But then, I also laughed at the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer the first few times I saw it. Then I watched the movie and it was pretty damned good.
I think someone was watching Rocky 5, and was like "Wait a minute. What if.... WAIT ONE EXPLETIVING MINUTE! Get me Jerry Bruckheimer on the phone, STAT!"

I'll probably be going to see Warrior this week, looks to be the first really good MMA movie.

So do a lot of people play HSX? Is there a GRB league or anything? I just made a league for my friends, but not sure how many people here play and what not.

Very good movie. Highly recommend it. Not quite as good as The Fighter, but probably the second best film I have seen in a few years.

I'm surprised it didn't get any Oscar nominations, either for best picture, best actor (Robert Duvall), best supporting actor (Bill Murray), best supporting actress (Sissy Spacek) or even best cinematography. It felt like a throwback to 90's indie classics (despite the presence of Duvall and Murray). Duvall is an amazing actor.

Finally watched it. Completely agree.

I faintly recall some NPR interviews about the movie -Duvall played it down. Anyway, essentially I knew nothing about this movie, when it was set, plot etc - I guess I expected "the Apostle" again (which it does have similarities, and another great movie.) I'd been meaning to watch this movie, but thanks for the bump. As you said, the acting, the casting, the shots , all well done. The scene -the initial trip Felix makes into town pulling the wagon was brilliant on all accounts.
