The Tree of Life.

Are we still using balls? I'd need a pool full of them to properly rate this expressionist masterpiece.

Hell yes, that movie was amazing. 

Going to see it again with a different group this weekend.

Just like practically every showing I've read about, probably 10 out of 50 people walked out at some point in the first hour. A middle-aged guy behind me kept mumbling complaints to his wife every 10 seconds. I shushed him twice to no effect. Finally after a half hour of listening to him I turned around and said, "I can't listen to you talk the entire movie. Please be quiet or leave." They left.

After that, the remaining 40-some people sat in perfect silence. I feel like there should be a sign at the box office that says, "The Tree of Life is not a Michael Bay movie. If you can't appreciate the opera, the ballet, or a symphony, you probably won't appreciate this movie, so we recommend you see something else."

Is that what your dad is like...? :(
