Is there already a thread?

I'm excited to see it this Friday. :)

I didn't realize this was coming out so soon. I may check it out.

I want to see it. Live-in doesn't usually like the movies I drag him too (too few superheros, I guess) so I'll probably go by myself this weekend while he's out of town.

This is a movie I'd really like to see. Maybe I'll get Mr. KDR to go with me this weekend - he mentioned wanting to see it.

I loved it.

I was angry. I was sad. I cried.

The show times were sold out yesterday and today. This movie will do well in the box office and get some nominations.

I also saw it yesterday! It was such a well-done movie, though I never cried so hard in a movie until I saw this.

I'm glad another GCer saw it! No spoilers in this thread...yet.

I also laughed. It had jokes.

I'll have to wait until December for it to come to theaters here, but will definitely go see it.

Am planning on catching it this week. Forest Whitaker is remarkable, from the previews and clips I've seen. He is one of my favorite actors.

I thought about going Friday night when the rest if the family was doing something else, but didn't since wife will want to see it too. Hope we can get to it soon.

I called my dad to brag that I saw the movie and give him spoilers. Turns out he went on Friday with my nephews (they're in college). My dad loved it and is going again this week.

My dad was born in the late 1930s so many of the things in the movie are firsthand knowledge. He also has firsthand knowledge of Black nationalist movements. He knows all about more overt racism and being so pissed off that you become extremely active, potentially bordering on extremist.

I'm going to see the movie again and get the DVD when it is released. You all hurry up and see it so we can type more details and white font spoilers. LOL.

Lee Daniels, Lenny Kravitz, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. were on Piers Morgan last night. They are extremely goofy. Gooding said something like "saying wassup to the hockey..." and I swore he said a racial slur towards whites. I was uncomfortable but when Piers Morgan chuckled I gathered that Gooding said "hockey."

Morgan asked them about their experiences with more overt racism and discrimination.

The movie is doing extremely well in the box office. Kravitz said a lot of people don't recognize him in the movie.
