Good. Those emotional and poisonous reviews as well as those simply shouting amazing can be left out. It is like the Olympics diving rating system - filter out the lowest and highest rating

Well, I don't know... I'm obviously happier for good than bad reviews, since I don't think this movie is gonna be the typical movie of the year. We already know it's a kind of low budget movie made out of a very good book which people can enjoy or not. It's not about social issues, it's about personal issues, so it's easy to like it a lot or don't like it at all.
I agree with Michael and Alicia the purpose of the movie is to lead the audience to a kind of crossroads, to generate a discussion... I saw many people writing reviews saying they needed to take some days to think about the events happened in the story and what would they would have done in the character's shoes.. Well, this means the movie gives rise to discussions -as the book did and keeps doing- and this is better than every positive/negative review IMO. Reviews are tastes, saying a movie made you think about life etc it's a more universal thing.

Both Michael and Alicia talked about this movie is the story of good people making not such good decision and have to live it. This one I think most people can relate to it. We did make some bad decisions in life and live the consequences known by others or otherwise.
While I do like to check and balance, I would definitely love positive reviews more. The crew, the director and the actors including the cute little Florence all spent great effort into it. Wish them success

Yeah!!
I think one of the worst choices I have ever made was joining PurseForum, which is entertaining and keeps me updated with things I love (thanks to many of you!) but I find it to be a pretty unhealthy place sometimes.. I had never been inside a forum in my life before now. Btw now September it's starting so I won't be able to post stuff as much as during the summer anymore: I'm uber busy and the best I could do will be update it once in a while and check stuff once/twice a week.
I'll still be able to keep in touch with many of you through Twitter tho, it's way more immediate and easy to communicate and share common interests there;)

Tom and Isabel's choice it's way more complicated than joining purse forum or not, btw [emoji23] and I agree with what they said in that video interview we saw yesterday... It's easy to judge when you're not in the situation. It's difficult to decide when/if you find yourself in their shoes. You have to remind her grief was immense after several miscarriages and the man in that boat was dead and there were no signs of a possible mother. Calling someone for help could have been dangerous for the baby, they could have sent her to an institute, while Tom and Isabel had the best intentions. But yeah, best intentions can lead you to the worst choices.
The topic is very interesting IMO. Especially for those who need to forgive themselves for some mistakes made in their life. It's a story about love but also self love and forgiveness.

Of course I hope for the best and for gorgeous reviews too, but I'm ready also for the worst, it's 100% normal. It has always happened: even the best and most highly prized movie ever has its own bad reviews, we are humans, we have different opinions.
I keep hoping for the best! [emoji7]

Little Florence is so cute. I can't wait to see her on screen! [emoji173]️

Meaning, they hooked up day 1 on set LOL
Whatever they had in the beginning fizzled looong time ago. Now its all about staying together to promote a movie. If the movie doesn't get any nods for next awards season they might split before year's end, if not, then after awards season. (HUGE) IF anything else happens, ie engagement, its for publicity then split after awards season. I do not see them getting married at all when neither one is ready. Or even like each other at this point

Really? This is typical of someone with English as a second language. "it was easy to unite". ??? Who would say that talking about getting together with your boyfriend lol:confused1::lol:

How or why could anyone object to Alicia's choice of words here?? There's nothing offensive or sensational about her saying it was easy for her and Michael to unite....he is her partner and was sitting next to her at the time!

Someone watched TLBO
bellpickle 18h18 hours ago so I watched a preview screening of the light between oceans and it was kinda disappointing
pros: really beautifully shot, well-acted, and the premise is inherently interesting
cons: vikander's character is painfully one-dimensional compared to weisz and fassbender it's a shame for an actress of vikander's talent
aside from one fleeting expression of guilt, for 90% of the movie vikander is never shown harboring feelings of guilt/doubt/indecision
Bell ‏@bellpickle it's so frustrating because the writers had such an opportunity to make her character just complex & realized as fassbender & weisz's
Bell ‏@bellpickle MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD: in the end, vikander even dies off screen which really takes the air out of what little development she had
by choosing to focus on fassbender, the movie really does become a prototypical adam & eve esque story of a woman tempting a man to do evil
other than the lifetime movie comparison, this summarizes the rant I went on last night

Some people should read that Rachel Weisz's interview in which she explains what being private/reserved means for her. She says the SAME things Alicia and Michael say, but she's okay, they are not [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
She and Craig did a movie together.
They are frequently papped.
They attend to some parties together.
They both said they're married etc.
They're anyways uber private.
But anyways there are tons of articles by tons of different magazines etc (DM, JJ, etc etc) which talks about how they fell in love and more. You can check online, it's full of stuff. But aren't they private and reserved people? They are. Unfortunately they're famous and so obviously people follow them.

People have the right to say it was easy to unite with their partners (as she said), or that their chemistry was there from the beginning and it's still there (as he said), it's not that public, not that outrageous, you know, it's not something we didn't know yet. Lol.

Btw they both explained pretty well their decision to be reserved and to keep their stuff for them as much as they can. Their words are clear enough for me, I don't need more explanations. I'm pretty fast when it comes to comprehension of things.
Btw I think I'm quite happy I'm taking a break from here cos there are way better places to enjoy and share interests with people you like ;)
