Why so few threads?

I've never seen a popular movie with so few threads on its board, how come?? As of now, there are only 8 threads, this one's the 9th. I would have expected pages and pages, just like on other boards...

Otherwise, the movie was just awesome 8/10. Which is kind of a surprise since 50's-60's rock and probably rock in general aren't really my cup of tea, yet i still found myself genuinely enjoying the songs and moving my head to the the tune. The song and the scene at Falsom was pure magic, musically, acting-wise and cinematographically. Great songs all around.

This movie made me discover and like Johnny Cash, just like Watchmen made me discover and like Bob Dylan or Ray made me discover and like Ray Charles, although i was a little bit more familiar with him. Never really managed to connect with The Doors (1991), but maybe i should give it another try.

Phoenix completely stole the show, i have no idea how anybody can reach that level of credibility; he is a great actor all around anyway. He looked like a real badass with the glasses talking to the producers right before the Folsom scene. Black suit, black glasses, i love it.
As for Whitherspoon, she was never really on the map as far as i'm concerned (aside from Legally Blonde 1&2, i have not seen much from her), but this movie proves that she has at least one breathtaking performance under her belt. In this, she was simply amazing.

All in all, i think i still slightly prefer Ray, but both ended up with the same rating in my book: 8/10.

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

You should really watch Wild. That's the best performance she's ever given and should've won the Oscar for that instead of this. She did nothing here anyone else would've done, maybe even better. Phoenix easily overshadowed her.

I do like this movie, but I admit I like the Johnny Cash music more than the performances.

Witherspoon was excellent in "Wild", she really can carry a movie, but she wasn't anything special in this film. Well, maybe she was to a fan, but to someone like me who's okay with her but doesn't love her or anything... it was Phoenix's film and she just gave a good supporting performance.

I don't know either. This movie is great. I've only recently seen it, but I would add it to my personal top ten.

It's not even on Netflix!! I had to move haven and earth to be able to see it, now that you can't just go out and rent stuff anymore. I don't get it.

Wow. That IS amazing. This is a good movie, so I can't fathom why so few threads. I guess it's just one of those mysteries of life.

IMDB used to periodically delete a bunch of old threads. That's probably why this movie ended up with so few of them.

I’m a fan of Johnny Cash and enjoyed this movie.
