Well, yesterday (Sat.) I went to see "The Number 23". My other choice, was "300" - but I am waiting to see that with my brother and friend. So it might be awhile. Anyways, all in all, I thought the movie was.. ok.. but what the heck?

How in the world were these numbers being deduced? It made no sense to me at all.. It was literally (at least to me ;-)) like:
"He sneezed! 9 + 14 = 23!"

I understand that the location of the letters in the latin alphabet had something to do with it.. but.. it didn't make much sense ;-P.
So.. tell us how you liked it.

I've wanted to watch it for a long time, I'm going to see it with some friends on the weekend. W00t!
Btw... Jim Carry is the lead actor, most expect him to be funny... did he take on the serious character well?

It was a very strange movie.. but it was also very very entertaining. I understand what you mean about where they were pulling numbers from, but you can always reduce something somehow. Like for counting the numerical value of your name; you can take the number at face value.. like.. A = 1, B = 2.. and then after you add all the letters together, divide it by number of letters in the name. And like with the pink? All colors have a numerical value as well. But.. yeah. I don't know if you noticed, but they placed numbers and things all throughout the film adding up or relating to 23. I thought it was fun to try and point them out as you were watching. But, all the counting aside, it was a pretty good film. Jim Carey did better than I thought he would. I'm glad he's trying new things and not sticking to the same kind of movies like other actors such as Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler do. But, I don't know if it's really one of those movies you HAVE to watch in theaters. I could have settled with just renting it, you know? But.. it was still worth the money for sure.
