Oh, yeah, absolutely. I was just reading "change" in a literal way.

Oh man, and the scene with the kids and the nuns and priests and everyone who was obviously there because they cared being separated? So heartbreaking. So, nice work by the day players, as well.

Don Cheadle's accent in Ocean's Twelve was actually bearable this time. The best bit was that he kept giving Julia Roberts tips about her accent when she was pretending to be Julia Roberts .

I haven't had the ability to see it yet. I just don't want to cry.

However!

I did watch Alien vs. Predator. One of the finest films I've seen, that.

I remember watching that and thinking "Poor Raoul's character. In any other movie, your leading man good looks and common sense would mean that you'd be half of the surviving couple. But this being an Alien sequel, you'll be the last to die, poignantly so as to give the kickass female lead extra motivation when she saves the day."

I heard last night that Nick Nolte was he reason that the film got financed. His company raised money and took no credit. He didn't want to act in it but the money folks insisted and he really believed in he project so that's why he's in it. Makes me respect his performance more.

Who did Nick Nolte play, the Alien or the Predator?

Who did Nick Nolte play, the Alien or the Predator?

He played a half-alien/half-predator, who had to decide if he wanted to follow the alien way of life or honor his predator heritage. Much like Spock when he was a boy.

See, that just gives me a very jarring image of aliens with caesar cuts and pointy eyebrows running around calling people "motherfucker" and then skinning them.

I had a teacher who used Alien vs. Predator as a positive example about certain universal themes in works of entertainment, going back to the Greeks. It was funny. And he mentioned it so often that I really felt kind of obliged to see it.

I didn't, though. So, um, my loss.

Okay, the trailer linked to here is officially a Great Trailer. Hee!
