Sounds great ... thanks for sharing 

We went to see it the other night. Really enjoyed it. My favourite part: his slight misunderstanding and re-imagining of the plot of Benjamin Button.

Trailer looks awesome! thanks Not in our cinemas though.:-(

I quit going to movies cuz of the cost, people talking, people texting, etc.  They eventually come out on DVD and I can sit and watch at home.

I did, however, see Les Miserables on stage last night.  Best theater (stage) performance I have ever seen....and the audience was respectful of the performers and those around them.

Are you in Toronto?
I went to see the Toronto performance of Les Mis in November - the cast was outstanding and the performance was superb. One of my favorite stage plays because of the story behind it all. Thanks Victor Hugo

looks great.  thanks for the tip

We go when we are in country or a city where we know that people are going to appreciate the thing properly - and not talk, text etc. We're in France at the moment and have been at the cinema 3 nights this week. In France people really appreciate cinema properly.

LOL. So whats the cinema crowd in Ireland like? Or how about the Dutch theatres?

Went to see it this evening. It was OK - my husband enjoyed it much more than I did.
It's really odd. I can suspend disbelief like nothing on earth, so can watch animations and pantomimes without problems but:
1. How come he had a passport? He'd never been anywhere other than Arizona, and lots of IDs are allowed for US citizens on internal flights.
2. Sean's lens was nothing like long enough for a Snow Leopard at the distance indicated and for the alleged 'view through the viewfinder' - and with locals playing football not 400m away.
Added: plus part of the plot pinned on him having his cellphone on all the time, yet his battery never ran out - and he seemed to get great reception everywhere!

Anyway, I haven't been to the cinema since seeing Les Mis twice within a week when it opened here, (I enjoyed it even more than the three stage productions I've seen) and discovered that The Long Walk to Freedom is showing at the same complex I saw this in, so can catch it sometime soon, hopefully.

Chill, I didn't hate it, my husband liked it a lot; he didn't notice the passport thing, but agreed about the lens.
One thing I did think hilarious was the close resemblance between the 'Ted Hendricks" character and one of the candidates in the last series of The Apprencice:

I thought we were the only ones.  We sit in the back so we won't be distracted by people talking behind us, but you can see constellations of phones lit up all over the theater as people check them and text. 

Last movie I went to the theater to see was Bridesmaids a couple of years ago.  We sat next to a girl who texted and checked her phone throughout the movie.  About halfway through we told her *nicely* that it was distracting and she started yelling at us, which was REALLY distracting to everyone in the theater.  An usher finally made her stop, but it was the last straw for us. 

Movies come to PPV or DVD so fast now, you don't have to wait long, and TVs are so large and clear, watching at home is way more fun than sitting in a movie theater. 

I love Les Mis - have seen it twice on stage and also the movie, and loved it each time.  Agree that live theater is different.  Ushers there are serious about preventing distractions, and it draws a different, more courteous crowd. 

FWIW, the best stage show we've seen in recent years was Rock of Ages.  We had season tickets.  Otherwise we never would have gone to it and we were shocked to enjoy it so much.  The other couple we went with loved it too.  The movie completely sucked though. 

My husband always likes Ben Stiller in everything, so that's a plus also.

I agree with your husband. Greenberg by Noah Baumbach is particularly great IMO. Even though it only gets 6.1 on IMDB.

havent seen Greenberg yet, but its been on my list for a while. I will watch it this week. Especially after seeing Mitty.

Anything by Noah Baumbach or with Greta Gerwig tends to be good. Therefore I also recommend Frances Ha if you have not seen it.

Went to see the secret life of Walter Mitty this evening. Wasn't disappointed. Excellent film.
