Seemed like the story here was not complicated enough to warrant as much time as it took to reveal it. The pace of the entire thing just felt too slow. And can we talk about how Redford runs with T-Rex arms?

Oof. There is a part of this plot that maintains that animals bite Matthew McConaughey because he's not right with the universe. Another part involves Zooey Deschanel shooting a bird with a bb gun, then making Justin Bartha perform CPR on it. You see Terry Bradshaw's ass. And the climax of the movie involves everyone in a bar watching SJP and McConaughey talk things out while he's tied to a chair. Blergh,

Really had no idea what I was getting myself into here (aside from the super famous line of dialogue, of course). Crazy relevant--if it hadn't looked 100% 70s and changed the radicals and communists to reality TV whores, it'd be just like today. Come to think of it, I'm surprised no one has re-made it. Please don't try.

The screening politely asked me not to talk about this before its actual release on "social media". I'm not sure if this counts. Not that it matters since asking me isn't the same as me agreeing. Anywho, I thought it looked beautiful, with a few small exceptions. If I have any real beef with it it's the length, which I definitely felt. It has that Return of the King "Hey, it's gonna end here, right? No? Here? No? Here? No?" vibe to it.
