'When a City Falls'

Because I'm stupid I went to see this movie on my one day off this week. It was a daft choice. I was over wrought, over tired and over emotional and found it extremely difficult to watch. I'll try to be coherent, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly. Please just bear with any weird jumps in thought :D Also, anyone likely to see it and ( Read more... )

Well, I hope it helps you come to grips with it a bit more rather than just rubbing salt in the wound : )

Me too. I think knowing what to expect will make it easier :)

I need to find a time to go, and I'd love it to be with someone I know - but I don't know that hubby would come with me... I really want them to release it on to dvd sooner rather than later so I can buy a copy (and I know plenty of others that would rather watch in the privacy of their lounge rather than in a theatre of people)

I'm glad to hear you went ~hugs~

What are you doing on Sunday? Tammie and I are going to try and go Sunday afternoon. You can come with us if you'd like.

From what I hear they are releasing it to DVD relatively soon. There are bits that I think will work better on DVD (footage, for instance, that looks great on TV/YouTube but really grainy on the big screen) but other stuff that is kind of made for big screen. For instance, while it was horrible, sitting in pitch darkness while the quake sound happens was 'right' - it recreates that situation, making that moment very powerful, and that would be lost on DVD I think.
