Have you seen Big Fish?

Post by Marnin Grita Guy »

I caught it last night on Netflix. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and what a cast! Just thought I would let people know it is available.

:D

Saw it years ago at a theatre. Really entertaining and really "WTF!".

I'm a HUGE fan of Tim Burton's work (although I will admit that he misses as often as he hits...).

Big Fish is my favorite Burton movie. Fabulous.

The first time I saw it I loved it. I've liked it a little less each time I've seen it.

Can't say why but I stopped watching after three times it just lost it's magic. I can watch most movies I like over and over and still enjoy them.

The stage show is on a pre-Broadway run in Chicago this month.

My brother went out to Chicago to work on it (stage crew - props) and hopes to continue to work on it when it comes to Broadway. I don't know if it's been discussed on here but Jimmy Buffett is one of the producers. My brother said the show is amazing!
Ciao!

One of my favorite movies. I can definitely see why it would appeal to Jimmy Buffett fans, too - the same sort of where-do-we-draw-the-line conundrum about semi-true stories.

Sort of off subject, but did you get your pizza back or find out who stole it?

Yellowcard beat Jimmy to the punch and wrote a song about the movie and hoped it would be included. Its called "how I go"


also Hannah Montana herself Miley Cyrus made her "All everything" debut in that movie as a little kid

Went to see the play last weekend in Chicago. It was excellent. The program didn't say much about Jimmy. It said something about in association with Parrothead Productions. In the Who's Who, it said Parrothead Productions is Jimmy and Frank Marshall.

Just watched the movie Big Fish.

It made me think about Earl's Dead and a lot of Semi-True Stories.

What a great story and movie. I'll bet the Broadway production will be great. Nice reading reviews about Chicago production.

Loved the movie.

Not much of a Broadway play/musical person so I probably wouldn't spend the time or money doing that.
