Up in the Air - one damn fine movie
Loafmeister:
Well, if you're a fan of movies with great witty dialog, interesting unique storylines and enjoy watching great acting, you could do worse than this flick. Directed by Jason Reitman (Juno), it stars George Clooney as a guy who's job is to visit corporations and fire people when they're "downsized".
Anyone else see the movie?
MAJOR SPOILER!!!
Only issue I had with it was ...
when clooney visits Alex, how did he get her address? Obviously from the situation, she would not have given him her home address. I assume he did the same thing she did when she mentioned she "googled" him but I think that would have been a scene best show with him checking out his laptop and smiling or something like that
Anyway, my missing something here doesn't ruin the movie for me. It's release during this "economic downfall" era is pretty spot on timing.

I thought the same thing. It did look like he was reading from some kind of receipt while he was driving there, so I wondered if I had just missed when he took something that would have had the address.
And yeah, best movie I've seen in months.

I don't remember the receipt, good catch! Might be a deleted scene that would explain this.

Yes, i quite enjoyed this movie. It appealed to me because i seem to be a perennial batchelor, a bit like Clooney and Clooneys character. I give it 4/5. No, in retrospect 4.5/5. It was great to see a hollywood movie that didn't have an obvious ending.
--- Quote ---my score for recent movies you may have seen:
5/5 - Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino, Mary and Max
4.5/5 - Taken, Iron Man, Reign Over Me
4/5 - Traitor, Bedtime Stories, Sunshine, pineapple express
3.5/5 - 300, Max Payne, You dont mess with the Zohan, Yes Man
3/5 - That new Indiana Jones flick, Disturbia, That new TMNT flick,
2.5/5 - Angels and Demons
2/5 - The Love Guru. Note: My 2 is probably someone elses 1. Just leaving room for worse!
