Walk The Line.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by REVEREND JAKE, Nov 19, 2005.

  1. There are few movies that I absolutely jones about, BUT Walk The Line has done it. I couldn't wait for it to come out, and FINALLY it has. It's mainly Johnny's life up to when he marries June.

    Shooter Jennings (Waylon's son) even plays a cameo roll as Waylon.

    The only disappointment was ONE PIECE AT A TIME isn't in the movie.

    I plan to watch this again and again. I asked about promotional material before I went in to watch it, and when I came out they gave me a HUGE 24x36 poster!!!:)

  2. so it was worth seeing then?
     
  3. I'm with you man. Ever since Johnny died, I knew they had to make a movie about him. He's the whole reason I like country music! I'm going to see the movie next week sometime, and I'm pretty stoked about it. I've seen so many clips from it, and it's unbelieveable how much Phoenix looks and sounds like him. It'll definitely be one of those you never forget.
     
  4. Uh...Yes!!! Maybe even twice or eight times.

    Thanks for the review Rev. Growin' up I saw Johnny about 50 times at Springlake Amusement Park in OKC. Started playin' guitar because of him & Bob Dylan. Was just crushed when he passed:( .
     
  14. They touched on that when he collapsed on stage. Later in the movie they said he was banned from the opry after that incident.

  15. WOW!!! I wish I could have seen him once.

    I need to go see Willie while I still have the chance.

    I WALK THE LINE, I LUV THAT SONG. they allways leave out this verse, it was in the ORIGINAL recording, though.

    In my best J C voice :

    I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
    I keep my eyes wide open all the time
    I keep my pants held up with bailing twine
    Because your mine, PLEASE PULL THE TWINE :D

    i saw it. i give it an 8 out of a possible 10. i do however like the current genre of movies depicting both the good and the bad in artists i.e. "Ray" and "Pollack". It occurs to me though that someone needs desperately to make a movie about Sam Phillips, owner of Sun. How many names that guy must've brought out and the talent he picked up on is incredible. Even though the man was a genuine flake.

    Another really good movie topic would be Hank Williams, not that fluffed up thing they made in the 60's. Maybe a good depiction of Jerry Lee Lewis is due too b/c the original they made in the 90's wasn't very good either.

    One thing about the Cash movie i missed is when he spent 3 days in a cave near Hales Bar Dam. It was supposed to be some sort of religious experience for him.

    anyways thats my two cents.

    i thought it was eerie how much joaquin phoenix looked and sounded like johnny cash. he did an outstanding job.
    one review i read of the movie said that reese witherspoon (june carter-cash) stole the movie and she should win an award for her role...
    BULLSHIT!

    none the less, this was a very good movie. entertaining and got me all hyped up on johnny's music again...


    GRACIE, go see this one if you haven't already.

    Saw it last night. We enjoyed it. My wife punched me in the ribs when I pointed out the modern 5 spoke wheels on the car in the 1955 scene.
