Picked as the #1 summer movie choice, I saw "Lucy" yesterday at the movies. FWIW, I recommend it, if you enjoy that kind of stuff.

*SIGH* wrong Lucy. You got some 'splainin to do!

Gotcha!
I saw it too but I was not impressed.
That's why they make both chocolate and vanilla. To each their own.
I was kind of curious that with all of that power, apparently she couldn't fix that zit on her face.
The "10% of the brain" trope in the trailer killed my interest in this movie.
Add to that the typical Morgan Freeman voice-over, and I'm out.
"You cannot solve these problems with war." - Ron Paul
The 10% was kind of a turnoff to me too. When explained as higher cognitive functioning, I was able to make peace with it. Plus I like both Scarlett and Morgan.
I guess it'll make a buck or two.

This is the only Lucy worth watching.Right "Lucy". You seem to be thinking of "I Love Lucy" and not I Love "Lucy".
Gotcha!

I'm a fan of both. <shrug>This is the only Lucy worth watching.
I heard it sucks ass. Now I'm hearing it's good. I'm torn.
Chocolate and vanilla are both delicious, I have no idea what you're talking about.

"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
Some folks prefer chocolate and some folks prefer vanilla. Different stokes for different folks. Does that clarify?
Then wait till it's on cable and then decide.
What about strawberry? Why are you such a racist?
I am very glad that I went on a free pass cause I would have been not just disappointed but pissed if I had paid full price.. The film was way too violent for my taste and I don't believe people only use 10% of their brain. Plus I think someone with "super brain" power could be a lot more creative and a lot less violent.

I'll watch it again at the dollor movie and on cable. She definitely had a vendetta and a new found attitude. As she said to the Paris cop in the police car, no one ever really dies. Your belief is not required. It's just a scifi movie. If you didn't care for it, OK. Whatever.

If I didn't like Tutti-Fruitti would I be a homophobic?
IWithout the violence it kind of reminds me of some of my LSD experiences the violence just ruined it for me. I just don't like the sight of blood I guess because I had a bleeding disorder and it reminds me of when I used to bleed profusely.f you didn't care for it, OK. Whatever.
Yeah, I understand how that sure could hamper your enjoyment of the movie. Flashbacks, eh? How about red dyed Caro syrup? No one died in the making of this movie. Hang in there, Moonbeam Flower Child.
Peace!
