Who's REALLY seen Seabiscuit?

Who liked the movie? Who didn't? I saw it and really loved it. Part of it was filmed at Saratoga, NY which is near where I live. To see places you have been to as part of a movie is kind of cool! So, your opinions?? :)

Caribbean" three times now? Somebody stop me.

Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom... mm yeah I have to put that on my to do list. :D

;-)

I loved that movie too, saw it a couple weekends ago. Well, I saw an ad for it today on TV and I told myself I'll see it again when it hits the dollar theater. That'll be a first for me. I just loved Johnny Depp in that movie. :D

I'd be bored and so it would be a waste of money. But that film will increase my library to ....two.

Side note: my son thinks that Capn Jack Sparrow is his uncle. My brother bears just a slight resemblance to Johnny Depp, but the people around us in the theater were cracking up...glad he didn't say Dad.;-)

I'm done hijacking this thread now.

UNCLE SPARROW!!!!!!! :D

I just hope they have an e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d edition, like there is with the LOTR trilogy.

awesome book. I haven't seen a movie since "Forrest Gump".

and killer racing scenes. Sometimes I wondered where the damn camera was; I mean, it is RIGHT THERE BETWEEN THE HORSES and you can hear the THUNDERING HOOVES. Very cool.

When you have the chance to be at the track like I do. Very exciting, especially those photo finish races. They've got incredible cameras, because they film 12 or so races a day every track season.

who said it was worse than Gigli? lol

In retrospect, I would have much rather seen "Pirates..." a second time instead.

For me, "Seabiscuit" just seemed to d-r-a-a-a-a-g on.

Also-I don't know what affect it might have had on my less-than-enthusiastic opinion of the film, but in my own thinking- especially since the rise of the internal combustion engine, horse racing is pretty much irrelevant- nothing more than a reason to gamble, and certainly not a sport, IMO.
BTW- that by no means means that I am any kind of fan of any kind of auto-racing, because I'm not.
In fact- I'm not much of a fan of any sports. I've had DISH network for 3 years, and I've never once watched ESPN(1 or 2), FoxSportsChannel, or any other sports programming. It just isn't my thing.

But since Seabiscuit was a true story, they couldn't just cut it down to size.
