Yeah something was missing! Perhaps you will enjoy the book more?

The fact that he was so 'smart' and kept making stupid decisions is what makes the concept of everything so good, no matter how 'smart' or how quick someones mind works, if you are a greedy selfish ass and have a big ego. You will fall.

That is the constant throughout much of Mankind.

By the end, when he was able to 'understand'...He was able to see potentiality etc etc etc.

yeah, I guess thats a good point. I was wondering if there was a book that preceded the movie. I thought it would be much easier to portray in writing.

here you go, 'The Dark Fields'

books are often better

Interesting, thanks! I looked it up on Amazon, and the book is going for $100-$500!!! wtf? haha, amybe they describe how to manufacture the drug in the book?

"Tommy Boy" is such a classic.

Limitless.
Awesome idea, but something was missing.
And (semi spoiler).....if he's so damn smart, why did he make such stupid decisions? too many flaws in this flick, but a great idea.[/quote


The Wifey and I watched it last night and we were entertained. B.Cooper did a pretty good job as well (BTW he is moving up my wife's list). I tell you what, they did a better job with this movie than they did with the movie Jumper. Which I thought was a great idea for a flick but they ruined it. But I give Limitless a thumbs up and Jumper the finger.

anyone see that 30 minutes or less movie? looks funny

I saw it on Friday. It was hilarious!!!

Note, if you don't like Danny McBride's style of humor, you might not like this movie at all.

I guess thats why I thought it sucked. I didnt even know anything he said in this movie was intended as humor, to be honest...just my opinion though..

I fell like if you saw the trailer, you saw the whole movie. Nothing special to see.

Fair enough! To each his own.

Wait a second... Did two people just disagree on something, and not need to insult each other?? Am I in the right forum?!

haha, yeah..

btw, Is that guy McBride the dude in that TV show Eastbound and Down? I have really wanted to see that (gonna get it on DVD).. I can see how he'd be funny in that.

I recommend it (and, like Shadowcast, noted, start from the beginning!). He's an absolute riot.

watched 'Knowing' last night with Nicolas Cage. Wei-erd.

Isn't everything he does WEI-ERD?

Ok, we just watched "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler". Amazing movie for an amazing woman.

Saw Crazy Stupid Love earlier today. Movie theater was packed for a 3:45 show of a movie that came out a few weeks ago. Overall I enjoyed it, probably would have been better if i didn't go by myself and took a woman though Decent soundtrack as well with Dead Weather, Miike Snow, Thievery Corporation and Goldfrapp
