I noticed that too! It was a surprising feature that made the character all the more real to me.
Boy...I seem to be stuck on that word.
The other thing that really struck me was in the
refugee camp
after everyone had seen
the baby
and had what amounted to a
religious experience.
It took them exactly a nano second to forget the only salient point in that moment and to start trying to kill each other again.
What the? Shouldn't the
soldiers have surrounded them and spirited them to safety?
And it was cool that the
rescuers were a proto-Greenpeace
model.
That's a lot of water displacement, man.
Is the
"just add water"
schtick from the comics?
So CoM just came out in the States? It really is an amazing film.
I keep thinking I'd like to go down to Dayton, TN, when they have their annual re-enactment of the Scopes trial.
Man, I don't even think that works to recommend the town. (I had to drive through it when I went from KY to my parents'.)
I think I'm going to watch Children of Men today. Maybe.
For Your Consideration fanvid for Children of Men.
Very nicely done -- it gets spoilery around the 3-minute mark, though, so people who haven't seen it might want to cut it off before that. (And hey...check out the quote at 46 seconds...)
Yay someone else saw
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
isn't it swell? I finally admitted that Val Kilmer can act after that one.

Have you never seen Tombstone, Real Genius or Top Secret?
Thunder Heart was passable, too.
What David said.
And I liked Kiss Kiss too. A lot. And I watched it twice in a row too. Much to see. Lots of detail and thrown away lines that get gleaned on rewatch.
I dunno why I always felt like he was playing the same guy. Maybe someone I had no respect for went on about how great he was before I had a chance to form my own opinion.
Tombstone
bugged me for other reasons but after I saw
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I was able to re-watch and enjoy it. Thank goodness I saw
Real Genius.
After that 'cause despite it's cheesey 80s-ness I love that one now too.
