I watched this movie last night. I'm still not sure what I thought of it. Anyone else see it? Anyone read the book?

uhm...your sexuality is suspect

Right before I die and I get to relive all the beauty I have seen in this life time, one of the clips will be the part in RFAD when the old guy says "ass to ass"

He says "back to back" as the whole crowd is cheering it.

I didn't like this movie. A crucial element of drama is that people act like human beings. The Connoly character is too lazy to get off her ass for years on end, now she's all fired up to scheme "her" house back. (All in cahoots with a drunken, loser cop having an extra-marital affair).

The Ben Kingsley character made little sense. Its not like he felt the house was on sacred ground. It was just an investment op. He could have turned a nice profit in a number of ways and moved on without all the trouble.

As a point of reference, check out "All the Right Moves." This is a movie for the ages (ages 7 - 16). Look at the drama, look at the tension, look at that cast! The point of A.T.R.M. is that desperate people must take desperate measures, and it comes across, beautifully. In their own special way, all the characters in the dying coal mining town had to make all the right moves to make their lives better.

No, Stanley B. Herman says ass to ass. This is when Connelly and the other chick are teaming up on the 24" double dong, anally, in case you were confusing it with a different scene.
