Did anyone see this? Looks like it will be a good movie. Hopefully they stick right to the facts....

I had to see "Les Miserables" with the wife... that was torture... she is already mentally prepared to see this as soon as possible after it opens. I'm sure she will enjoy this more than I enjoyed "Les Miserables", as there shouldn't be anything in "42" that makes one's ears bleed, or worse, makes you want to cut off your ears.
Led Mis awesome. Unless Broadway just isn't your thing. Granted, Mr. Crowd could have done better.

Broadway IS NOT my thing. I actually much more enjoyed Russell Crowe's singing voice than Hugh Jackman's. It was Jackman's that really tortured me.
Saw the previews and it looks to be a solid movie. I'm definitely going to see it and I haven't been to a theatre in years.
last movie seen in a theater?
I just hope it isn't like most Hollywood films in that it will either focus on some mundane love story for 1/3 to 1/2 of the movie or it will focus on Branch Rickey for 1/3 or 1/2 of the movie. I want to know about Jackie Robinson, he should be the focus.
Examples of movies with racial issues that got it wrong.
Wind Talkers- hey lets have a movie with Navajos and their cool language and focus on Nic Cage the whole damn time.
Geronimo- hey lets have another movie with a famous indian and make it all about the white General.
Moneyball- hey lets spend 1/3 of the movie on Beanes daughter and not even talk about 1/2 the players in the book.
I love the idea of the movie, but I hope it highlights Rickey. If anything, Jackie takes too much of that story.
There were 100s in line to be Jackie...but without Rickey taking that leap we would have waited until Bill Veeck bought a team and replaced it with a ***** League team.
Was Jackie a talent and perfect for the "first?" Absolutely...but the risk taker bucking the system was Rickey.
X-Men first class I think.
what? I see 1 movie a year and that was texas chain saw and it was great! Oh wait. With this movie i will see 2 movies this year loleh, nothing too great since then.
eh, nothing too great since then.
