How's J. Edgar? Critics, Comedians and Moviegoers Tweet Away Over AFI Fest Opener
J. Edgar is undoubtedly one of the flashiest Oscar contenders this year. With Clint Eastwood's direction, Dustin Lance Black's script, and the well-pancaked melodrama of Leonardo DiCaprio, Judi Dench and Armie Hammer, we're dealing with a formidable award-attractant group. But was the film's quality worthy of opening AFI Fest this year? Movieline saw J. Edgar last night -- along with a bunch of other critics, bloggers and assorted plebes -- and we're not quite sure. Here are the first 140-character reactions to the movie. (We threw in some comedian takes for the hell of it.)
Nightline's Terry Moran starts us off with good cheer.

Kristopher Tapley I say Leo wins the Oscar.

@JackGi
Jack Giroux@kristapley@jenyamato I think it's a really unsubtle performance in a weak movie.

And last, mine. Ahem:
@louisvirtel Judging by the acting and lighting, J. Edgar was cast at and filmed inside the world's tiniest Hollister.

It has its problems, mainly in the technical realm (Armie Hammer's old man makeup made him look like Old Sandy Frink in the "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" dream sequence), but it deftly portrays 50-plus years of history without feeling like just a long checklist of notable historic moments. It feels lived-in and real. I thought it was a beautiful piece o' work.
When I saw the old man makeup, the first thing I thought was: Vincent Chase in Medellin.
I heard DiCaprio was next in line if Meryl had said no to playing Margaret Thatcher.
It may be the five martinis, but that is funny as fuck!
Old man make up, whatever. Arnie and Leo making out details please.
