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?
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I forget the writer of the book Up in the Air, the basis for the movie about George Clooney flying around firing people, has since become one of the most insane people online
neutral · AI labelView post →This guy wrote Up in the Air, the basis for the movie about George Clooney flying around the country to fire people
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →Was devastated to learn the Up in the Air writer (of the book, not the movie) is an IDW guy now. I really liked that book in college.
neutral · AI labelView post →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"
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
positive · AI labelView post →Up in the Air. The movie was charming, heartbreaking, and fun. The book was disjointed and uninteresting and I hated everyone.
positive · AI labelView post →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

positive · AI labelView post →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_...

neutral · AI labelView post →I know people disagree, but I kind of loved "Up in the Air" (the movie, I haven't read the book).
positive · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't read the book, but Up in the Air was made into a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite film performances from the 2000s. Vera Farmiga, Alex Goran, "Up in the Air" (directed by Jason Reitman). #movies #films #upintheair #jasonreitman #verafarmiga
neutral · AI labelView post →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...
positive · AI labelView post →#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
positive · AI labelView post →Can I offer you "Up in the Air". Though admittedly it's a movie

neutral · AI labelView post →I read Up in the Air before the film version was thought of. Really enjoyed it.
positive · AI labelView post →14. Out of Sight just might be George Clooney's best film performance, but it might also be Up In the Air.
neutral · AI labelView post →For Jason Reitman who later went on to write and direct UP IN THE AIR, a film where we’re supposed to find sympathy for a guy whose entire job is to fire you.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember the 2009 George Clooney movie Up in the Air? Pretty sad it’s par for the course now. 😕
neutral · AI labelView post →god this reminds me it's so funny how Shiruku was a high profile celebrity focus in the Meitantei Precure cast when it was Totally Up In The Air which one Cure Eclair was and then we kind of completely forget about her once we can focus on Luluka/Kurea yuri

neutral · AI labelView post →HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP, VANCE, JOHNSON AND HEGSETH WERE ON A PLANE... AND THEN FOR NO REASON THAT MAKES SENSE IT JUST BLEW UP IN THE AIR ( LIKE A VAN DAMME MOVIE IN SLO MO ) AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE " OH SHIT ", THEN THEY WENT BACK TO WHAT THEY WERE DOING. GOOD TIMES.

I'm a big an of Jason Reitman's work, but I'd rank this last of the 5 movies of his I've seen: 1) Up in the Air, 2) Juno, 3) Thank You For Smoking, 4) Young Adult, & 5) Saturday Night. I loved the look of the film & the claustrophobic feel. & the idea of a...1)

neutral · AI labelView post →A reminder for those who don't know: I took ALL the wrong messages from Up in the Air. When the film was trying to say, "This guy is running from everything", all I thought was, "This guy gets to fly everywhere and live that lifestyle".

neutral · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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.

neutral · AI labelView post →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…
positive · AI labelView post →I rewatched Up in the Air today. This to me is a comfort film. The topics of this movie aren’t comforting but I just find it so entertaining. One of Clooney’s best performances with a great script to bounce off of. Great breakout performance for Anna Kendrick. My favorite Jason Reitman film.
positive · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
