What's Eating Gilbert Squirrel

[natalie8you]

hahaha the squirrel video is great!

[Kenjigirl]

This was a great movie, very touching. I've not seen it in a while but I think I should. Lol. And yea, Leo I feel stole the show. His acting was phenominal I thought. It's one of my favorites. I would love for Leo and Johnny to work together again!

[Katinka]

I heared that, Johnny played tricks on Leo during the film shooting.

[Kenjigirl]

I wouldn't be surprised. Lol.

[chasin' the wind]

That does sound like Johnny.

I first watched the movie, when I was a Leo fan.

same here I also really liked Johnny back then, but I mainly watched it for Leo

[IloveJosh]

Thanks for the thread, Natalie! This is one of my favorite Johnny's movies

I actually watched it because of Johnny, although Leo almost stole the movie from him with such an amazing performance

Johny looks so handsome in this movie




Lucky old lady...

[indigo sunrise]

[Kenjigirl]

Aw, great pics! I really gotta watch this again.

[chasin' the wind]

I loved his affair with Mary Steenburgen...

[natalie8you]

^haha it was so funny when he was on the phone with her husband and she was giving him a blow job!

[chasin' the wind]

OMG. That was so great. And he was like trying so hard to talk normally.

You know, I wanted to watch this when I was younger (like 9ish) for Leo, because I had just seen Titanic. Unfortunately my small brain could not understand anything and I soon got bored. I also didn't realize it was Johnny. I really need to watch this again. Some fan I am.
