Ha ha! I’ll pass along your gratitude.

My brother also has excuses for his eyes getting wet at movies:

• “There’s something in my contact lenses”

• “I accidentally bit my tongue while eating popcorn”

• “I had to use the bathroom really badly but didn’t want to miss the scene”

• “The guy next to me had overwhelming B.O.”

• “The air in the theater was dry.”

Feel free to use any/all of the above!

That should be (typing carefully now):

Thank your husband for me.

“They did not! I have allergies!”

Oh, I’m going to have to use that one! Thank for husband for me. LOL

My husband loved this book and the version of the movie we saw. I said, “I saw your eyes get wet” and he said, “They did not! I have allergies!”

I think it would make a great date movie with your wife.

Well, I never read the book. But, I’m curious to see how a popular book/story handles the sci-fi aspect of time travel. The theme in the trailer reminds me of one particular episode of Deep Space Nine involving Benjamin Cisco and his son (which was one of the better, heartbreaking episodes). Thanks for the heads up, PCN.

Thanks. I really hope they put it back. I know it was filmed. I know they won’t, but I really wish they would. It very much changes the meaning of the novel, IMO, and Clare’s waiting (which is such an important theme).

In the version I saw, the very end (titled “Always Again” in the book) is not there. I know there’s lots of concern about that—understandably so since it’s such a gorgeous coda—but I can only say I found the movie’s ending satisfying. It’s different but did not ruin the experience for me.

I thought the filmmakers did a nice job with a very complex novel and I hope other fans of the book (I know we’re quite passionate about it) won’t be harsh on the movie. No matter what the filmmakers did, the novel will always remain a beautiful thing.

I read bad things about the ending. Is the VERY end (you know what I mean) completely gone, or did they just add a “buffer” to it?

Hi Kari,

I was apprehensive, too, but the movie quickly won me over, mostly because of Rachel McAdams. It’s different than the book in some ways but still dark and gut-wrenching and moving and beautiful and all those other wonderful things that made the book magnificent.

I’m glad you’re not letting your feelings about the trailer deter you from seeing the movie. Since you loved the book, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
