Did Godsend play in the theatres?
Yeah, for a few days. It was even a wide release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. That's rough.
At least he has Meet The Fockers coming up.

I saw the Meet the Fockers promo at The Bourne Supremacy last night.
It was definitely one of the better trailers. I also saw a slightly changed trailer for Collateral that includes Jamie Foxx-Jada Pinkett Smith footage and overall seemed to emphasize the Foxx over the Cruise. Interesting. Also, there is this clip in a disco where for no reason you can tell in the context of the trailer Tom Cruise makes this face? I and my friend both laughed outloud.
And Cellular looks much more like one of those very complicated ads for a phone service than an actual movie.
And what did I learn from The Bourne Supremacy?
Karl Urban moves very beautifully.
Also - car chases = boring.

The poster I saw made me do a double-take. It's like Clive Owen's BMW movies in reverse.

I liked the chase in Bourne. It's no Ronin, or anything -- but I liked it.
The largest impact that Cellular has on me is to remind me to turn my phone off.
I just read that 6'2 Christian Bale dropped down to 120 pounds for The Machinist. That's going to make it extra hard to watch.

Yikes. That's gonna be painful to see and I don't want to think about what it's done to his metabolism.

God, that was amazing. Gives me chills everytime I see it (much like The French Connection).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
LIked the Bourne car chase, too. Didn't mind the length at all. Was pleased to see Urban without funny hair and armoured shoulders--now all that's left is to see him in a movie where his principal expression isn't--well, constipated.

The evil is this way?
I finally saw Master and Commander and now I'm kicking myself repeatedly for not seeing it in the theater.
Although I have a feeling I might have felt seasick.
It was beautiful. I saw it twice. I get queasy kind of easy in movies (the handheld camera stuff in "Bourne Supremacy" made me ill), but got no queasiness in "Master and Commander." If it ever gets re-released in theaters, go.

I've seen footage - it's more frightening than any horror movie I've gone to this year. But I don't believe for a minute that Bale is actually 6'2" unless Frances McDormand is 6'5". Still, 120 is dangerous for anyone bigger than Seth Green.
