Thanks. My father did a really good job on the turkey this year, (He uses a
method of mine termed "low and slow" and it was wonderful this time) and
then we all got in the car to go see (well, in my case hear, more on that in
a moment) Life of Pi. Worth seeing. They told my dad on the phone they had
descriptive video, but when we got there they didn't, which was a bit
frustrating, but it was still an interesting movie that left things to talk
about afterward. I'll probably catch it again with someplace with
descriptive working.

My wife read (well, as in your case, heard) the book, and refused to
go to the movie. Just too gross for her tastes...

That's not a word I'd use to describe the movie. A lot of yelling, though.

Gross? Hrm, clearly I do not know anything about this story, but this makes
me *more* interested in seeing it! :-D

You'll love it. There are interesting shamanic aspects to it, for one thing,
and it says some interesting things about spirituality, too.

Great, will put it on my list (although I haven't even gotten to see Cloud
Atlas yet!).

Yeah, that's on my list, but since one of the "second run" houses has a
reissue of Finding Nemo with descriptive, I'm going to try to catch that
next.

Well scripted and well acted but the story was bizzare even for someone
who takes past lives as an acceptable hypothesis. It jumps and jumps
and jumps so it's very easy to get lost watching it.

I'm sad that it's already out of the theaters here - I really wanted to see it again on the big screen. I didn't have any trouble keeping up with it but I can see how some people might. I hope it does really well outside the US because it deserves a bigger audience.

We found it Sunday at our local (for "local" = 30 miles) last-chance
house. It certainly requires more attention to be paid to it than most
films do, but we didn't find it all that difficult. (What I find
difficult to understand is that I seem to be the only person to see
the resemblance to "Intolerance".)

Sorry, been busy...
I won't go into the story in the book, but there are some graphic
scenes of animals eating animals, child abuse and other fun activities
in the book which I suspect will not be included in the movie!
