I just got back from watching The Bucket List this afternoon. Can't say much about the film but I really wish they had used "Say" as A PART of the film, instead of at the end. I was aghast to see how quickly people left the theater as the credits rolled (which is when the song is played, sadly). A whole lot of people IMO are just missing out on hearing a great song, in a theater setting, which makes it sound 10 times better than it already does on say an iPod or the laptop. Well, in effect, that probably gives you a good idea how good the movie is too, because it's been my experience that if a movie is good, people usually stick around, to absorb the film and process what they've just seen. (SPOILERS AHEAD ----- DON'T READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FILM AND PLAN TO SEE IT ----- FILM SPOILERS AHEAD) I would have loved to hear the song as Jack N's character meets his daughter/granddaughter and they show Morgan F after he's died. If not the whole song, a portion of it, just so audiences would have gotten a taste of the song, so that when it is played at the end, people would stick around and enjoy the song in its entirety. Also, on a sidenote, this film was filled with discrepencies (and movie discontinuities) ... the most striking is when Jack's charachter visibly shreds the "the bucket list" only to have it reappear in his hands at the funeral in the end. And then, there are numerous scenes of discontinuities, like in the hospital room. One shot has Morgan F wearing his glasses, the next they're off, and then they're back on again. The editor and director really did a shoddy job on this film IMO.

Sorry AdamG if I inadvertently spoiled the move for you through the reply to my post. It was not my intention to spoil it for anyone --- I myself hate to have movies and plot lines spoiled for me. I just feel very strongly FOR this song and very strongly AGAINST its placement in the film. The film/director/editor/studio execs/powers that be did serious injustice to a good song and a great talented artist. I hope JM feels the same way and he'll try to have more creative control and, em, say, over how his songs are used in movies -- if that ever happens again.
