So was it any good? Worth standing in line for?

Well it was free and we barely had to wait (probably could have got there at 6:30, but alas, didn't want to get turned away). I thought the movie was great. Howard and team did a good job making the movie look like it was from the 70s. The sounds were spot on for the era's cars. Definitely a movie where it is worthwhile seeing in theaters due to the racing and sounds.

My only gripe is I think they played up the Playboy card for Hunt way too much for the first 30 minutes or so of the movie. I mean I understand that's who he was but get to the plot sooner please :).

Great movie! Admittedly I was in pure "enjoyment" mode and not being critical, but I agree Ron did a great job with the realism and portraying believable, likable but flawed characters. I like this style of historical non-fiction stories adapted for the screen, it gets away from the old bad-guy good-guy rut and puts us in a more realistic story. It's kind of like "Apollo 13 in race cars" in terms of the realism and lack of a lot of hollywood cliches.

Got in with no hassle. Thanks James for passing it along.

You got a problem with tittes? Not that there's anything wrong with that. :lol: :lol:

Now the extended medical scenes, that was something I could do without. But the level of hot-chick-ness in the movie was :thumbsup: for me. Hahaha.

Nice diversion from an othewise insane week at work. Back to my data queries now....

Olivia Wilde kept her cloths on the whole time so I don't care.... :mrgreen:

Anyway, the sound of those engines were a lot better than the side boob shot of the ditzy blonde nurse :)
