Watched
District 13.
There's a little movie that's better than it had to be! I was just in it for the parkours, lent it by a parkours-happy friend. It's a bit weirdly paced, but I liked how it wended its way through the plot.
I knew going in that one of the parkours inventors was a lead. I was happily impressed with his acting. I hope his friend in
Casino Royale
does as well.
It became apparent that Jason Statham should star in any English language remake, so it was funny to see that the
other
lead, the one in the role that Jason was suited for, did stunts on Transporters one and two.
Ok, so
The Weather Man.
I hated it, Joe hated it, the dog hated it, and the DVD player all but spit it out. Nic Cage's character didn't change. He was aggravating as fuck, and with the exception of Michael Caine, I didn't like anyone in the movie. Bryant Gumbel was ok. But by the end, I just wanted there to be a nuke-lar explosion killing everyone. Seriously. We're going to try to find some Rich and Pat Nixon porn on NetFlix to get the horridness of this movie out of our heads.
Capote.
I loved it. He a manipulative little fucker and I loved him for it. PSH was amazing. And, since I have more than a little love for Dan Futterman, I thought his writing was fabulous, but I'm biased. I couldn't watch Perry's hanging and pretty much sobbed all the way through that scene. But, I thought it was a great film.

I could write some for you. Maybe put in some Ike for spice?
Can anyone recommend The Quiet American? I caught the first few minutes on Bravo or AMC and I figure with Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, how wrong could it go?
I don't remember it in detail. Kinda Le Carresque. Graham Greene to be precise.
I liked it.

Did you know T.C. Boyle already wrote a short story about the forbidden love of Mamie Eisenhower and Nikita Kruschev?

You've got it backwards. It's Ike and Nina, about Dwight Eisenhower and Nina Kruschev. It's hilarious.

Aha! Well, I knew it was in Ple's perverse political wheelhouse.

That's the one I came out of thinking "I should really tell ita to see this movie."
I liked Quiet American a lot, Cash.

Do the titles Jaws 4: The Revenge and George of the Jungle ring any bells? Not that I know anything about The Quiet American, but neither actor is insurance against crapulosity.
