    Loved one of the key thematic elements of #SkeletonCrew but to avoid spoilers I'll explain it using the movie Up in the Air. Ryan: How much did they pay you to give up on your dreams? Bob: Twenty seven thousand a year. Ryan: At what point were you going to stop and go back to what made you happy?

    Is the movie Up in the Air a pretty depressing movie for a 9:30a AA flight? Yes. But it has vintage #AvGeek content so yea sure why not.

    Re-watched Up in the Air recently and one of the ways the movie tells us Clooney's character is smart is he defends stereotyping folks because it's "not prejudice it's effeciency"

    Dug up what is likely my first byline: a review of Up in the Air, published in the March 2010 issue of Teen Ink magazine (lol). A bit hyperbolic at times, but not bad, tbh. Also, an ad for some newfangled Twitter thing.

    Just put it together now that Walter Kirn is the guy who wrote Up in the Air and does a podcast with Matt Taibbi. Jason Reitman directed the movie, and his first feature Thank You For Smoking was executive produced by (drumroll) Peter Thiel and Elon Musk

    The novelist, who wrote Up In The Air 😑 He is working on a movie based on antivax shithead Jay Bhattacharya, meant to be a "satire" of COVID precautions, called "The Rash". (Instead of a fatal illness, see, it would just be a skin rash) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_...

    Apparently, RFK's VP running mate has convinced Walter Kirn of Up in the Air fame to write a movie script about the pandemic - he's apparently making a fictionalized account where Bhattacharya is the hero, COVID wasn't a serious threat, and ivermectin worked.

    Post this more out of disappointment than meanness. "Thank You For Smoking" was quite good. I hated "Juno" but that was about the script. "Up In The Air" is a fantastic film. The wow, right off a cliff with the rest. His film humping his dead fathers corpse was at least watchable, otherwise...

    #bales2025moviechallenge - airport Up in the Air (2009) I like this film. It has strong performances, directing, and an unresolved ending that feels more real than you might expect. I LOVE the brilliant scene when Clooney teaches Kendrick how to get through airport security

    Real airports are difficult film sets. Passengers keep moving, secure areas need approval and aircraft can't wait for another take. For Up in the Air, American timed arrivals and changed gates around the production. LAX may also require tenant approval and case-by-case security clearance.

    These visual tropes reduced Black performers to comic relief based on racial caricature rather than treating them as equal actors. While the film itself (Up in the Air, 1940) is a product of its time, the poster’s design actively amplifies and markets that racism for laughs.

    Humane, with characters, developments and performances that resonate with anyone currently transiting adulthood and seeing their lives not turn out as expected. Unfortunately, I believe it is the nature of these corporate figure, stoic, cynic, hypocritical characters what might weigh the emotional aspect down for a greater part of the story, only cut through by brief bursts of Kendrick and Lynskey excellence, and eventually, Clooney's character's growth. Overall, the final message is a little…

    This is one of those movies that takes you in a certain direction but in the end changes course and brings you somewhere else. It was entertaining but the ending was not the one I was hoping for and I felt diminished the rest of the movie.

    I don’t really get why this movie got an Oscar nomination. I mean it’s watchable but I don’t think it’s Oscar-worthy. I think this movie is too simple to be nominated. There were some funny parts but it’s more of a “LOL” than “LMAO”. Script wise, it’s nice. It’s kind of real in a way since a lot of people are losing their jobs because of recession. I think that’s one of the reasons why people liked this movie because it is what’s happening right now in the USA.
