Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Skipping 1000 posts to announce that I must find a way to see this film!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Let me guess - they had you at "Jeanne is leaving for a week of adultery with Theremin virtuoso Manu (Emmanuel Bilodeau)"?

Do you even have to ask?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh, I did just remember the likely downside of Unleashed: I'm pretty sure Morgan Freeman is going to be a Magical Negro. I think his character is blind, and it sure does look like he's going to Teach Danny How To Live Again.

On the bright side, Freeman's role in Driving Miss Daisy sounds like the Magical Negro trope on paper. He had enough talent and skill to make the character a three-dimensional, fully-realized one that was lovable without being sappy.

Is there any hope that he'll play this guy like Gene Hackman's blind hermit in Young Frankenstein?

Heh. No, I guess not.

Maybe a trip to Montreal is in order?

I might be there for a couple of days at the end of the year. Do they usually put English subtitles on French language films there?

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

If it's shown in an English theatre, yes. If the flick is getting a lot of press, they probably will release it for the anglos.

A better question is, what is the likelihood it will still be in theaters almost three months from now? I might have to wait and hope for a DVD.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe you should just learn French between now and then.
