The Illusionist

Caught it today at the Arclight. (My least favorite theater in L.A.)

Entertaining flick although highly predictable. I dont go into movies trying to figure things out, I just like to watch, but you could see the ending from a mile away.

The cinematography was good and the pace was alright, but ever since I saw the trailer for The Prestige a week ago I have had little interest in this film.

I'm interested to see what others thought of the film.

On a side note, what on earth is happening with Jessica Biel's butt? It's out of control.
 
Just saw it this morning... caught the first showing... Awesome film! Ed Norton was fantastic, and I really didn't see the twist coming. The look of the film was awesome as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the picture!
 
Do us a favor, Brandon: if you're going to spoil something (like the fact that the movie has a twist) please warn before doing so. I wish I hadn't read your post, but now it's too late and I'll go into the movie looking for something I wouldn't have otherwise, effectively robbing me of any surprises.

Thanks for ruining that one for me, buddy.
 
I guess that is somewhat my fault too, THX. Is it possible for me to change the thread Title?

Sorry, man.

No no no. Out of control as in someone needs to take action NOW. Legislation needs to be introduced to keep this from happening to other smokin hot chicks. Like NOW!

Here she is from the premiere of The Illusionist:

And here she was just a few short years ago:

Now, granted, they airbrush and alter posters, but her butt used to be perfect and of human proportion.

I'm just not a fan of the JLo-ization of the derriere. Or Byoncification.

I like a little bubble to the butt, but when it hits hot air balloon proportions of solid muscle, stop with the squats!

I feel better now.

And how about Summer Catch? Holy Shnike! BUt I cant find a screencap so oh well.

Sorry to inundate you with Ms. Biel's behind, but I found Summer Catch and I remembered an incident.

Now my boring story: :furious3:

A friend and I were in The Cheesecake Factory at The Grove (in L.A.). If you want the worlds highest concentration of hot females outside of Elite NYC's offices, this is the place to be - The Grove. I was sittin, enjoyin my Godiva cheesecake and watchin the fine lasses when I see an attractive girl walking towards me, and being a guy, my eyes immediately drifted south. She was attractive but way too thick for me (out of my "weight class" as friends would say. As she turned to sit at the booth next to us, I watched her butt was was taken aback by the size. Long story trying to make it short, as we left, we looked over and it was Ms. Biel but I hadn't noticed at first because I was agast from her booty. When I saw the face - gorgeous - but that butt. Ikes.

Sorry for the retardation. It's my job.

Real sorry man... as I didn't reveal the twist I thought it was ok...

With that butt, she must be living at the cheesecake factory.

I see nothing wrong with her. So she's gots a little a junk in the trunk, you know that's all muscle. I think she's always had that butt but its been airbrushed in all those other posters and photos. Nice to see an actress who doesn't look like a prepubescent boy. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. :)
 
great movie: however the opening was very clumsy and jessica biel was miscast imo. they should have picked a lesser known actress who looked more the part. i couldn't suspend my disbelief after i remembered she had been on seventh hevean for 10 years!.
 
Well, it was the Cheesecake Factory......Maybe she needs to do some "push aways". You know push herself away from the cheesecake and the table.
 
We're going to see this flick later today and now the ONLY thing I'll be thinking about is J-Be's butt... Oh sure... I could have gone in with no butt expectations of any kind... and now I'll be looking for bootylishousness right from the opening credits. I could have been asking myself "is it the turn of the century hoop skirt or does J-Be really have that badonkadonk butt?" Thanks for ruining it for me buddy!
 
No, you really dont see it until I think the very last shot of the film. That's when I asked a friend. "Oh dear lord, what happened to her @ss?"

He replied, "What? You didnt see the premiere photos? It's Huge!"

As for the other replies, to each his own, but damn, that thing is big. Muscle or not, it's just not right. And Vida Guerra should not be the poster child for nice butts. Nor should Paris Hilton. Just something human.
