Went along to see We bought a zoo yesterday and thought it was a really great little movie.

Two points of note - Hunger Strike is played, along with Cinnamon girl and few other really cool songs.

And during one scene in the movie Matt Damon can be seen wearing a Backspacer tshirt when he's flicking through photos on his laptop.

I'd recommend seeing the movie it was a pleasant surprise.

    My 11 year old caught the Backspacer shirt... :lol:
    And there is no greater feeling in the world than to see all 3 of your kids turn to you and scream during a movie... "Dad... it's Hunger Strike"!!! :mrgreen:

    My 3 year old screamed "EDDIE" when his part of Hunger Strike came up. I could not have been more proud.

    Also, a main character's name is McCready.

    Great movie!

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one that caught the Backspacer shirt. I thought I was mad for noticing it. Very good movie, a return to form for Mr.Crowe.

    Nah, Matt Damon just received a mix cd from Cameron Crowe full of Eddie songs in an attempt to woo him with the feel that he wanted for the film.

    Think I'll have to go see that movie for the thrill of seeing Matt Damon and his Backspacer t shirt, and Hunger Strike of course.

    apparently the dude from Sigur Ros did the soundtrack to this. very different than Ed :)
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    Hope to see this on Saturday!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I've not heard of this film, (and just looked and it's not out in the UK for months yet).

    I really hoped someone on here had a great story about how they just gone out and bought a zoo on a whim... and somehow that had turned out to be pj related in some minor way.

    On a mostly unrelated note, I saw in the credits from Young Adult that Even Flow was listed in the song credits, but wasn't played during the movie. Tons of references to Minneapolis bands, though.

    I want to see Young Adult, and We Bought a Zoo. Did you like Young Adult?

    I did like it. I put at a good, but not great, movie. I thought Descendents was much better (and I compare it to that because I saw it the next day). Charlize Theron is really good and carries the movie well. You're watching a train wreck of a person, which can make some people uncomfortable.

    Cool, thanks. Gotta see it. I've heard really good things about Theron in it. I haven't heard of Descendents but I'll check it out.
