when you get Julia Roberts saying lines like " I think I'm in love with my pizza" you have an idea of this movie.
I didn't rate the book, too highly, I can't bear the thought of a super clean, homogenised Ubud and a pretty, Italian designer robed
Hooley Dooleya mincing her way around the world in search of some life reborn.
The stills available show a very pretty but slightly unreal Ubud market, with nary a fat sweating tourist in sight. :) :) :)
I won't be wasting my $12.00 on the movie.
Yes, I can play the second one. The first one if blocked because of copyright restrictions. I updated my flash recently, so not sure if that might be a problem or not?
I think the movie has no cunning or smart twist in it's plot but the settings (especially the captures in Bali) and the scenes are remarkable people might get interested more of traveling like the character Julia Roberts played. I wonder if the real character played lives in Bali now...
I've seen the trailers at least twice. (First time I wasn't sure it downloaded properly.)
If the movie itself has more of the Balinese idiot "spiritual guru" in it telling us not to worry when we've been ripped because the money will come back to us (and more), I don't want to see the full version. Stuffed if I know about the other two thirds (before the Bali segment).
If the Balinese "guru", as portrayed, is so knowing, why doesn't he use his "powers" to fix his teeth? Especially next to Julia Roberts, with her huge mouth and more teeth than all of California.
I know the old Balinese man was hired as an "actor", so it's not his fault to be suddenly "immortalized" as a complete Balinese boofhead. And I guess that Ms Roberts has bills to pay, like the rest of us.
I just hope that Hollywood isn't thinking of an "Eat, Pray, Vomit" version 2.
Maybe Julia, (what was she thinking, if she thinks at all?), might get a part in Avatar 2, swimming in the seas of Pandora. Several options: She drowns or gets raped and killed by "the hostiles". But that wouldn't be a happy ending, would it?
Is James Cameron a secret member of this forum? You never know.
