I saw "Bottleshock" last night and, while I like Alan Rickman, it was kind of an ordeal to sit through. There were way too many closeups of sweaty faces and tangled hair, too much bad French being spoken, and so much wine swilling that my stomach began to feel queasy. Or maybe it was all those handheld camera shots. Also, there was a young surfer-boy actor named Chris Pine who looked like a cross between Heath and Brad, but with nothing of their acting talent or intellectual abilities. I vote to return this bottle for recycling!

:D And here is Chris Pine:
Front-Ranger:
Thanks friend! He does deserve watching to see if he matures at all... I also saw the trailer for Australia. That looks promising with Aussies Hugh Jackman and what's her name...after I wrote Hugh Jackman, my mind just went blank! Whats'a matter with my head!!

I'm sorry to hear it's not up to par, Lee. I love Alan Rickman and may see it just for him, though. :)

Most of the actual footage of him I've seen makes him look rather stupid and pathetic. (I'm thinking The Times of Harvey Milk.)
A pleasant diversion from the Repugnican Convention last night: I flipped the channel and found Blade Runner. I probably hadn't seen it in more than 25 years, yet I used to listen to the soundtrack a lot in the 80s.
I think it certainly has held up (outside of the blatant Atari ads). It reminded me of BBM in that it leaves things ambiguous and you have to think! Rutger Hauer's "tears in the rain" speech is fantastic!

Hey Paul! Hey everyone else! I can't see the Milk trailer from work but I'll check it out at home, I'm looking forward to it. Van Sant runs hot and cold with me but I'm dying to see Milk's story on film. And Repugnican? Too funny!
