The blu-ray for Fool's Gold (2008) may not have a main menu page (?!?!?!?!), but we're watching it anyway

Hi, I'm Hervey and I'll be commenting on this movie today, looking forward to spending time in the sunny caribbean #pyrite21

Hi, I'm Alan and I'll be commenting on this movie today. Let's see if we can find some FeS2. #pyrite21

Want to make clear how weird it feels to have a blu-ray auto-play #pyrite21

This is already very relaxing. Hanging out in the air over a Caribbean isle with guitar music playing. #pyrite21

For the record, I am drinking a peach White Claw Iced Tea. #pyrite21

I need to learn if the Spanish empire really used Havana as a way-station on the way to shipping valuable specie back to Europe #pyrite21

This music is unmistakable George Fenton #TheMaster #pyrite21

McConaughey emerges! Glorious. #pyrite21

So far, we've learned that McConaughey is very invested in treasure-hunting, he has a Ukrainian friend/colleague, and he allowed his boat to explode; really setting the scene early #pyrite21

This movie is moving along very nicely. #pyrite21

We've now introduced a second boat, inhabited by a soon-to-be divorced (from McConaughey) Kate Hudson and a very posh and regal Donald Sutherland; and folks: what a boat #pyrite21

Oh wow, Kevin Hart; didn't know he existed back in 2008 #pyrite21

McConaughey is about to be murdered #RIPMcConaughey #pyrite21

Hijinks have ensued. #RIPMcConaughey #pyrite21

Things are going from bad to worse, McConaughey is gonna get murdered.... and also divorced, effective 10am tomorrow morning #pyrite21

This was a more satisfying and interesting fight scene than anything in that James Bond movie #pyrite21

I'm learning so much, including that guns work underwater #pyrite21

This movie returns again and again to expanses of blue Caribbean water; a pretty good recipe for a pleasant film product #pyrite21

BEHOLD, this dude! These boat kids are real good. #pyrite21

McConaughey's big problem has been introduced: he doesn't have money

Nothing a little *gold* can't solve #pyrite21

McConaughey's biggest problem is that he's chronically late. This has already been established. #pyrite21

Same difference: time equals money #pyrite21

Damn, they're divorced now; Florida law is harsh #pyrite21

"You want history, it's out in the ocean baby." #ClassicMovieQuotes #McConaugheyWisdom #pyrite21

I have now learned the importance of having boat insurance #pyrite21

Congrats to McConaughey, for avoiding permanent and devastating head trauma #pyrite21

Very pleasant boat atmosphere. #boatmosphere #pyrite21

Boats are where personal growth happens; Donald Sutherland is a boat man, and as a result knows that Kate Hudson is really made of #pyrite21

Kevin Hart's lackey wondering if he has MapQuest on his flip phone; truly a different age #pyrite21

Oh wow, it's Nick's ex-gf from Nick and Norah, wow, it's been too long #pyrite21

That yacht does not look big enough to have a helicopter landing pad, and they cut around it to not show it actually landing. #MovieMagic #pyrite21

A hat chase! Glorious. #pyrite21

For the second time today, I've learned an inflatable boat is no match for a non-inflatable boat #pyrite21

Worth underlining how blinged-out the rich daughter's Sidekick3 is, what a decadent phone #pyrite21

The Sidekick's lack of a lock screen has been her downfall. #pyrite21

Rich daughter has just insulted boat culture, no greater insult to her father #pyrite21

Damn, these two are so perfect for each other, I'll never forgive Florida Law for mandating their automatic divorce #pyrite21

Enjoying this in-depth explanation of the history of this gold. #pyrite21

I kinda zoned out, I imagine the movie will repeat anything important #pyrite21

"Wow, you guys must really like treasure" #ClassicMovieLines #pyrite21

Kate Hudson will be such a great lecturer one day, assuming she finds treasure sufficient enough to fund her PhD; she even got the rich daughter to pay attention #pyrite21

McConaughey and the rich daughter are bonding over being stupid, really touching #pyrite21

I think rich daughter is going to be the ultimate hero of this story. She's making excellent progress on her PADI certification now. #pyrite21

They're just one big happy fam at last! #pyrite21

Rich daughter's phone gets excellent cell service at sea. #pyrite21

Rich daughter found a good website on her Sidekick3 for discovering land ownership records for various caribbean islands #pyrite21

Yacht confirmed to not have a helipad. #pyrite21

This movie has so much to say #pyrite21

Precious Gem has now obtained a key artifact (old sword); maritime law is very clear: if any items are blown out of the sea floor and end up on your boat, you can keep them #pyrite21

Banana and clear Cessna 208 seaplane sighting! #FlyCessna #pyrite21

Penny-a-point gin rummy time! #pyrite21

After "21" (2008), I now reactively recoil whenever I see playing cards appear during a film #pyrite21

Rich daughter has scored 2,800,000 points in gin rummy #pyrite21

Gin rummy has ended in disaster as the family history spills over into the game. Gemma won that money fair and square. #pyrite21

Donald Sutherland is really a sore loser #pyrite21

McConaughey now wielding an ancient Spanish sword while first-wave ska plays in the atmospheric Pelican Bar, this is all extremely pleasant #pyrite21

Bigg Bunny Rum! This film has a signature rum brand! #UltimateFilm #ProbablyTheUltimateFeelingRightNow #pyrite21

Bigg Bunny is a clear reference to open-source icon "Big Buck Bunny" #pyrite21

This movie seemed to go to extreme lengths to show that people cannot be killed or even badly hurt, and then suddenly Bigg Bunny's lackey just suddenly gets murked

Wow #pyrite21

Cool turtle #coolturtle #pyrite21

Cleaning up the ocean floor, one metallic object at a time. #pyrite21

It's great how the movie never for a moment makes you doubt McConaughey and Kate Hudson are a dream couple; their obstacles are purely external (money), and can clearly be easily resolved #pyrite21

The music that they played as they scavenged the sea floor was very similar to the vineyard music from early California's Great America #pyrite21

Ship identification very, very easily found now that they know where to look. #pyrite21

Finding treasure is hard; it takes decades to find inspiration, and then up to 20-25 minutes of exploring #pyrite21

McConaughey with the centuries-old dagger casually tucked into his shorts. #pyrite21

Wow, I pieced together that Donald Sutherland named the boat after rich daughter 20 minutes ago; this movie really rewards close watching #pyrite21

Finnegan! Finnegan! Finn Finnegan! #pyerite21

Finn just wheeling around in the cemetery on his motorbike. #pyerite21

What's in the barrel? Treasure? #pyrite21

This is so much better as an action movie than #QoS #pyrite21

We've got a cheap shovel hit to the crotch. Classic comedic sequence. #pyrite21

Close call #pyrite21

This blow-hole (aka geyser) contains crabs, and also treasure #pyrite21

Impressive that this treasure has remained firmly lodged against extremely violent waves for hundreds of years, but Kate Hudson's light jostling sets it free #pyrite21

Tess' repeated diving maneuvers are extremely stressful. #pyrite21

To stab someone would be inappropriate in this light-hearted comedy; but to stab someone in the crotch is okay #pyrite21

Great sequence of that man just getting completely ground into a bloody pulp by the force of the geyser. A light-hearted comedic romp. #pyerite21

Say what you will about Bigg Bunny, but he's one hell of a seaplane pilot. #pyrite21

McConaughey is now dangling from an airplane while being shot at #pyrite21

I'd love to see the NTSB report on this one. #ProbablePilotError #pyrite21

I can't think of any notable flight simulator games for PlayStation. What did he learn to fly from? #pyrite21

Another movie in which the main character must ruin one example of each mode of transportation. #pyrite21

Wow, everybody's lives are now improved considerably, all thanks to something as simple as "treasure" #pyrite21

Really nice quick ending. Wraps up real fast. #pyrite21

Yeah, just have some music swell, put some visuals to indicate people's life trajectories, end on a close-up of a rock; classic way to wrap up #pyrite21

This movie fucking ruled; the exact right amount of stupid

It's very, very *slow* however, and all the scenes and locations blend together; limits its Earful potential #pyrite21

You're just looking for excuses. Rarely has a movie been so ready to dig deeply into. #pyrite21

It's really great, but I'm not sure it's actually *that* thematically rich

Also, very very leisurely #pyrite21

It's important to note that this "PLAY MOVIE" screen was not accessible until the end of the movie. #pyrite21
