neutral · AI labelView post →I went to see an early screening of The Adjustment Bureau and just before the end of the second act, when I was the most invested I'd ever be in the movie, the projector broke and they sent everyone home. I don't think I'll ever know how that movie ended.

neutral · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: The visual plan for the film was to use a dolly or crane to keep camera movements smooth and employ a more formal style when the Adjustment Bureau was in full control, and to use hand-held cameras and allow things to become looser when the Bureau was losing control.

Well written, funnier than I remember, with a great cast including Anthony Mackie before the Avengers. A good balance of mundane and surreal. Damon and Blunt make us believe.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the lovely 2011 film "The Adjustment Bureau". No spoilers because it's best to go in and see it cold IMO, but I love the chemistry of the leads (Emily Blunt, Matt Damon) and the gradual reveal in the story.
positive · AI labelView post →The other day I watched The Adjustment Bureau, the 2011 movie where mysterious teleporting men in fedoras want to keep Matt Damon and Emily Blunt from falling in love, for reasons! My review does contain spoilers, so watch out! (They're spiky)
neutral · AI labelView post →Hi, I just saw THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, a film from 2011, for the very first time, and I really liked it and I want to talk about it with somebody, so... here. letterboxd.com/jonnyquest03...
positive · AI labelView post →Ever seen that movie “The Adjustment Bureau”?
neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoyed "The Adjustment Bureau", which this new writer (George Nolfi), directed. This project is still doomed though - having both Damon Lindelof and Steven Knight walk away from it is not an encouraging sign.
positive · AI labelView post →The Adjustment Bureau was pretty good though. I'd love to see someone make a good John Carter movie. But I think most people younger than I am probably don't even know those stories anymore.
positive · AI labelView post →Remember the movie "The Adjustment Bureau" (2011) where a promising young politician had his career derailed after it came out he'd been arrested for indecent exposure because he mooned someone when he was in college? You couldn't make that movie now. No one would buy that premise.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love The Adjustment Bureau! And not just because the film is loosely based on the Philip K Dick story Adjustment Team. It's a great film anyway. Fate, free will, the hats & a great romance against the odds... Perfect!
positive · AI labelView post →I think the most recent movie I saw theatrically that I might remember the least about is THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. Could not tell you *a thing* about it.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is actually why I think it's really interesting that the writer of The Adjustment Bureau is the one currently working on the Rey movie script and it makes me wonder if they will delve into any of those themes?
neutral · AI labelView post →That's so true! That kind of brings back to memory the film The Adjustment Bureau. It's no big deal, but Matt Damon and Emily Blunt make it work beautifully.
neutral · AI labelView post →📽️ Hot take: The Adjustment Bureau is an underrated GEM of a movie, & future audiences will come to see & understand what those of us who love it already know: it got screwed. https://letterboxd.com/maryscott/film/the-adjustment-bureau/
positive · AI labelView post →Just re-watched the Matt Damon/Emily Blunt PKD adaptation THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. Even better than I remembered, for being a movie where they basically teleport around to different NYC landmarks. I love that Damon's character defies God in choosing love over success.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie of the week this week is The Adjustment Bureau. Supernatural love story nonsense but Matt Damon makes it believable plus it has Terrence stamp. Fun, would make a good TV series. 7/10 www.imdb.com/title/tt1385...

He starred in many varied movies, from Superman's General Zod, via Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, to Chancellor Valorum in The Phantom Menace and Thompson in The Adjustment Bureau. Always adding class to every role and movie. Thanks for all the entertainment. RIP...

negative · AI labelView post →Rewatching THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU - I always feel this film got a harsh rap (and I singly blame whoever put the "it's 'Bourne' meets 'Inception'" on the poster for this metaphysical romance) It's daft, nice, it has magic hats but heck, Damon and Blunt are so ruddy charming in it!
positive · AI labelView post →Just rewatched The Adjustment Bureau. Great film based on a Phillip K Dick short story. On IMDB trivia I just read that it was supposed to end with a scene with Shohreh Aghdashloo playing the Chairman. But it was cut the studios weren’t ready to show a Muslim woman playing (essentially) God. 😡

neutral · AI labelView post →Terrance Stamp was both great and beautiful in many things, but my top recommendation to you is THE LIMEY, a terrific movie in which he is great but merely handsome. (In his paycheck parts, I also love him being blase in a hat in the fun little B-movie called The Adjustment Bureau)
