Camping Out For The Bucket List: Day #2 and #3
Day 1 Link.
Day 2. January 2, 2008.
Day 3. January 3, 2008.
Everyone's A Critic!
There has been a lot of buzz out there in the "The Bucket List" blogosphere about all the reviews that "The Bucket List" has been getting. These are all of personal worry to me because I frankly am concerned about people who don't like films like "The Bucket List". Did something happen to them as a child? Are they bad people? Its the sort of thing that makes you worry as you lay in bed alone at night, sure that a murder's knife will be thrust in your gullet any second.
So, I decided to take on one of these reviews head on. This is a review I found on IMDB, by some user named "Katattack62". At first glance, this review appears to be positive, in fact the title for the review is "Oscar Worthy". That's how it deceives you. I'll post it and put in comments.
You know that feeling when you walk out of a movie and think "God, that was just such a great film"?
Its not a feeling when you leave "The Bucket List" its an assurance of genuine fact.
It takes a lot for me to think that... especially when it's a movie about two men who have cancer...
This is when the author's real biases come into play. Why the hell does she hate cancer movies? She slowly denigrates it into some sort of lesser genre of "cancer movies".
but this movie really did it for me, as well as everyone else in the theater. I saw the movie at its first ever screening in Pasadena and it was just wonderful... even with temp music and unfinished visual effects!
How could anyone properly judge a film before the CGI is completed, especially one as CGI intensive as "The Bucket List"?
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman were truly amazing together - it's a film about cancer, and yet
Once again, the cancer qualifier. To this person, this movie is the "Citizen Kane" of the cancer movie set, but in being a movie about cancer, its lower, trashier, and more tumor ridden.
the two were able to balance the comedy and the drama of the script in such the perfect way that the audience loved every moment of the movie. The script was quite original, which was such a breath of fresh air, and the acting couldn't have been any better.
Another subtle dig. She probably would have liked the film more if it had different actors. These two actors were acting at the very top of their ability. I bet she would have liked to see younger sexier people in two main spots, ruining the point of the film, but lessening the whole cancer angle.
I would recommend this film to anyone and everyone - as it was such a feel-good movie that made you both laugh and cry at the same time - something you don't come across too often.
Not if you're clammed up inside, being a sullen woman afraid of cancer patients.
Not only did the audience applaud the movie at the end, but EVERY single viewer who stayed to give comments agreed that the movie was "Excellent"... I can't imagine how often that happens. I'd be surprised if this movie isn't up for some Oscar or another come next year.
Here's a puzzler for you? Why didn't she name the Oscars that the film would get? Why some vague "some Oscar or another"? Its because she was just rattling this off hoping that she'd get recognized. There's no passion in this, no love for the film. Just a bunch of tired reviewer cliches and cancer bashing. Don't be fooled by empty reviews like this one. "The Bucket List" deserves reviews from reviewers with integrity. Not shills.

Camping Out To See The Bucket List: Video #1
Hopefully a few more coming your way tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get caught up soon!
ONLY SEVEN DAYS UNTIL THE BUCKET LIST!
My Review of The Bucket List
Hey guys, Andrew here, my turn to eat in the warmth of McDonalds while Travis holds our place in line. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy my review of The Bucket List that I wrote earlier.
Yes, Yes, I know it hasn’t come out yet, but that doesn’t mean a boy can’t propose how this spectacular film will pan out. So, if you’ll put on your imagination caps, as I have so many nights, here is my review of The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
“The Bucket List is the quintessential American Film, providing the public with a piece of art that appeases all different ages, races and creeds. Like a finely sewn piece of clothing, this movie just fits. I’d go deeper into the story, but seriously people just watch the trailer… it’s all there.
An Academy Award just isn’t enough for the two stars of this film, Jack Nicholson (Edward Cole) and Morgan Freeman (Carter Chambers). They show their full range of emotions throughout this epic tale. From fear (Skydiving anyone?), Jubilation (Driving Mustangs off Jumps… I’d be so happy doing that with my best bud), or anger (Edward Cole being forced to meet up with his estranged daughter, I’d be mad!) they are worthy of the greatest award man can receive.
‘But what about the directing Andrew? Did you forget Rob?’ Of course I didn’t silly, he did his thing like only Rob Reiner can. He brought this playful tale (Thank you Justin Zackham) to life. He made the two best actors in the world seem as natural as flowers in springtime.
Not to mention the amazing visuals… I don’t even need to see the Great pyramids or the Great wall of china, I’ve seen it the best way I can, through the eyes of Rob Reiner.
‘But Andrew, anything wrong with the movie, at all?’ This movie… (LOL) no, there isn’t. I know a bad movie when I see one, but like all great critics, I know when I see a perfect one, and this is it. If you don’t see the this movie, then don’t go to work on Monday cause you’ll feel dumb for not having seen it.”
Well I hope that helps you to get up off your bums and get in line. It’ll start growing any minute now. Wish for sunny skies for Travis and I.

Bucket List Updates
You like the new Banner? If you couldn't tell, it's based off the AWESOME posters for The Bucket List.
As we wait for the greatest film of all time, we decided to make a daily video journal of our camp-out. Look for those updates in a few dayz!
"Nicholson claims to have signed on for "The Bucket List" for several reasons: to work with Freeman; because his "A Few Good Men" director Rob Reiner was making it, and because the script included an African safari, visits to the pyramids and the Himalayas and motorcycle riding on the Great Wall of China."
-Seattle Post Inquirer
Gotta go, Andrews waiting for me.
Wish us some warmth!
