      This movie is just sex. I can’t wait!

    2. Cate September 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 pm 2

      This movie has a winning cast. I’m particularly excited about seeing Marion Cotillard and Nicole Kidman in this.

    3. Andrew R. September 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm 3

      I meant sexy, although sex is an adequate adjective too I suppose from what we’ve seen so far!

    4. filmboymichael September 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 pm 4

      no you’re dead on ….pure sex!

    5. Sertan September 22nd, 2009 at 9:30 pm 5

      What a cast!!!

    6. Anna September 22nd, 2009 at 9:33 pm 6

      CAN’T WAIT!!! Haven’t had this type of excitement for a movie in a LONG time!

    7. Alexis September 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 pm 7

      What a cast, indeed, but… what the heck is Fergie doing there? She looks like the obvious answer to a “which of these things is not like the others?” game.

      If this movie is anything like Chicago, then it should be in the bag. However, if it’s more like Memoirs of a Geisha …

    9. John September 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 pm 9

      I know it’s easy to say something like ‘I hope it’s more like CHICAGO than MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA’. I get it.

      But I’m one of the few who happen to absolutely adore MEMOIRS. Anyone else?

    10. Alfredo - Often Imitated Never Duplicated September 22nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm 10

      Memoirs of a Geisha’s first half was amazing but then it dragged towards the end. Gong Li should’ve been nominated for Supporting Actress. Also where do we get that Geisha was such an Oscar dud – I mean it DID win 3 Oscars!!!

    11. Mary Hart September 22nd, 2009 at 11:38 pm 11

      “Fergie gained weight to play a prostitute” is the quote of the night

    12. Andrew R. September 22nd, 2009 at 11:46 pm 12

      I know what you’re saying Alfredo. If we had the 10 Best Pic nominees for 2005’s race, Memoirs of a Geisha would undoubtedly have gotten in (I actually really enjoy the movie, sue me everyone)

    13. Diane September 23rd, 2009 at 12:03 am 13

      I was disappointed with Memoirs of a Geisha. The actors speaking English threw me off, but then I love the book, and usually when that’s the case, the movie always falls short of my expectations. I also am one of the few who did not enjoy Chicago, and this is coming from someone who is a musical fanatic.

      I might just like Nine because of Daniel Day Lewis. He can’t make a bad film.

    14. Ryan Adams September 23rd, 2009 at 1:32 am 14

      haha, Mary Hart, you devil.
      are you implying that without the weight gain Fergie would be too skinny to be a prostitute?

    15. SaltireFlower September 23rd, 2009 at 2:20 am 15

      Gong Li was the only thing I liked about Memoirs of a Geisha. Well, her and the costumes. I know films never measure up to books, but it’s one of the most disappointing adaptations I’ve ever seen.

      I’m really looking forward to watching Daniel Day-Lewis in this.

    16. Princess of Peace September 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 am 16

      I liked Memoirs better than Chicago. Memoirs was a touching film but Chicago was just mildly entertaining.

    17. ORDINARY COW September 23rd, 2009 at 8:03 am 17

      Penélope looks FIERCE in this preview.

      Also, I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!

      And… am I the only one who has the feeling that some costumes and art, set… of “Chicago” are re-used in this? Remember we’re in the CRISIS times…

    18. jorge September 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm 18

      i think marion not gonna make it for this film
      i have a feeling of nicole for supporting actress…
      penelope she just won…but maybe she can make it into supporting…
      all the ladies they are going to be good, but not oscar nominations, im still dont know whatto expect of daniel day lewis

    19. danny September 23rd, 2009 at 3:20 pm 19

      I kind of think Fergie is actually a pretty inspired choice. She’s sounds great on that track, and to my understanding, thats all she really has to do in the film anyway.

    20. justin September 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 pm 20

      In response to Jorge, what the reviews from the test screenings seem to agree on is that Nicole doesn’t have a big-and-juicy enough part to be considered for Supporting but that the film belongs to Marion and Penelope. Which makes sense – from my POV, as a fan of the stage musical, I know that Luisa (Cotillard) and Carla (Cruz) were always juicier parts than Claudia (Kidman).

    21. jorge September 23rd, 2009 at 7:04 pm 21

      in response to justin… the role of cotillard its going to be considered for leading actress, so thats why i think she not gonna make it into the top 5 nominees , bcs there are better performances and strongest roles than her…
      cruz could make it into supporting, but she just won this year, i dont see ampas giving her another nomination, but who knows, and about its the role is big enough for supportin.. i can remind u this year, viola davis 12 minutes on screen or something gettin nominated for doubt or tilda swinton winning last year for another 25 minutes or something in michael clayon, or the nomination for rugby dee in a very short role in american gangster

    22. Andrew R. September 23rd, 2009 at 11:29 pm 22

      Is it for sure now, that Marion Cotillard is going to be campaigned in lead or is that speculation?

      “The Academy is composed of mostly older members making this movie a dark horse. The acting is top notch, the dialogue is intelligent, and the subject matter is timely. The weighted ballot system may just push this deserving movie to the top of the heap.

      Reitman’s picture is the most consistent of the nominated films I have seen, with each scene adding to the whole. Reviews have stated that some of the firing scenes were unnecessary and detracted from the film. In an odd way, they provided relief from all the tense personal relationships in the film, so I believe that the many interviews were valid.

      Up in the Air’s kind of ending, somber, isn’t what is keeping it from being a mainstream hit at this point. The content that deals with job loss is the biggest detractor above all else, even though the subject matter is handled with expertise. Movies with somber endings are dominating the award season. Up in the Air, Precious, Avatar, and The Hurt Locker have far from rosy endings.

      I agree that it appeals to older adults because of its subject matter. Job loss, lack of commitment, and the feminist bent of the film add up to something many forum posters will not champion because it doesn’t appeal to their young sensibilities. However, youth does not rule the Academy.”
