I read an article yesterday that said people are getting vertigo watching it in 3d and more than a few people have lost their lunch. I've like JGL since he was on Third Rock from the Sun. He seems like a pretty alright guy. That being said, I will never look up his personality or political views so I can stay in fantasy land and not have him ruin it for me :D

JGL is an excellent actor. Sexual preferences and politics aside, I enjoy watch his work.

I doubt I will watch this movie though. I have as small problem with heights falling.

I am not a fan of movies like this, or even that mountain climbing one that just came out.  Granted, it's dangerous walking a tightrope like that; but in the end that is all it is.  I like movies with a storyline, twists, plots etc.  To me its like watching a rerun of a football game, I know the outcome.

Why be so critical of the man....do you need to get a back round check on the actors.  I see that a lot in here .....who cares what his personl believes are .....faith....political ...views ...etc.  I once posted a video of a certain singer I liked and people bashed him a new ass.   Whats this thing about his personality.  Marlon Brando was nut case but I loved his movies!

Its  more a documentry.....no tits and ass......no 50 car crashes.....and two hundred explotions.   the man did a feat no man has or will do in your life time.  If you like twists he had to sneak all the eqiupment in the tower at nights and the figure how to hang the cable acoss 140 feet to the tower....did you ever think how he got the cable across?.   u wont find any more story line then this movie...trust me.

If you'll read it again, I said I like him. I'm also keeping that fondness at face value so I don't accidentally learn that perhaps he's a Jimmy Carey type.

No, he's just a Freddie Mercury type. lol

That's the point exactly! His acting is what you like and that's got nothing to do with his off-screen existence. Since you're not watching his movies for any other reason, I agree. Why would you need to know? Ignorance is bliss.

Meh, if it's like getting across a gorge I would launch a light line across first to pull the heavy one across.  Also if I remember right, hasn't something like this been done again?  I could swear I seen some story about crossing a ravine or something.  I'm really not trying to talk his feat down, it's just not my kind of movie.

yeah your right it was ony 110 stories high and 1,368 feet.....plus the fact that he walk back and forth for 45 minuites......sat down in the middle and then stretched out laying flat on his back.
