i'm thinking alot of you would enjoy this documentary about one of the best collections of art int he world, certainly in the united states. it's' about the Barnes Foundation...this film is one-sided but very very interesting! "the art of the steal"...has anyone already seen it?

the second two thirds are better, nancy. but i completely understand why you stopped there. that was the worst part. the first third had me angry. like WHAT did you do with this great story?????

I think I am the last person but maybe I do not count since I started the movie and lost interest about a third of the way in...I will at some point give it another try......

Good question, Lisa!  I am a big JR fan, so I'm really disappointed to hear it might have been her.  When I first heard about the plan to make it into a movie, I was apprehensive (me and central casting rarely agree!  LOL)...until I heard she was cast in the lead.  I was SO sure that would make it for me.  <sigh>

the scenery was good, elle. but it could have been even better. i like julia roberts as an actress, so i hate saying this. but i think part of the problem with the movie was her. she somehow made the character unlikeable. and elizabeth gilbert is so likeable. but gilbert had a BIG say on the movie, and so i wonder how this got messed up?

Nope - you aren't the last person, Lisa.  That would be me!  I detest going to the theater...and haven't quite bought into Netflix yet, so I'm still way behind most of the world as far a cinema goes.

 

I liked the book, so recommend you read it.  I will watch the movie when it comes to cable...if it comes to HBO or Showtime.  (Yes, it was on STARZ this weekend, but we don't get that.)  But mainly for the scenery.
