Re: Bobby


Never heard of it and looked it up. It's about Robert Kennedy's assassination. More people should be aware of this film because the cast for this movie is insane!

Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Martin Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Elijah Wood, Harry Belefonte, Heather Graham, Helen Hunt, Shia LeBouf, Christian Slater, William H Macy, Lindsey Lohan, Ashton Kutcher and Emilio himself.

Where's Charlie?!?

Re: Bobby


Yeah, I saw that. That's why I was so shocked that no one had heard of it. Wonder what kind of release this will get ..

Re: Bobby


I've really been looking forward to this film for a while.

As for Charlie: At one point he was going to be in the film, but I don't know if that ended up happening.

There was a really nasty Esquire article about this film not too long ago. It almost seemed like a personal attack on Estevez. Anyone else read it?

Re: Bobby


It's a must see for me.
That night I was at the Steve Allen show and Kennedy brother-in-law Peter Lawford was the guest. Later on I was at Pat Paulson's "Victory Rally".
A couple of days earlier I had seen Bobby as he was on his way to the Greek Theater. I was surprised by the gray in his hair. Pierre Salinger was walking next to the car Kennedy was in.

Wow. It's funny you mention Paulson. I just watched a documentary on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour yesterday.

Re: Bobby


I saw Bobby on Friday and thought it was good, but not great.

The movie did a good job of showing us what the psyche of America was like in the summer of 1968. I just wish they focused more on RFK, but that was not the point of this movie.

I left the theater with a sense of great loss--what might have been...

Re: Bobby


That's exactly what I thought of this movie as well: good but not great.
