the things in that link that I would have liked to see would have been the
less John, more Kyle.
But otherwise, the original script was also ridunkulous.
I only half-hated it. The Marcus stuff was 90% fab, but the Connor bits bored me to tears and were rather underwhelming and had me groaning and rolling my eyes a lot, and the end was just a huge WTF, but not in a good way, and certainly not in a way that the "original" end would have been.
The more I think about it, the more things fall down. Not in a plot, timey-wimey way.
Okay, I'm walking away from this before I start tre-peating myself.
I loved Huckabees
and
The Apartment. After I saw the latter I watched every other Shirley MacLaine movie I could get my hands on. The Trouble With Charlie is one of my favorites.
That's a great one, Laga! So funny.
There are many things about that original script that would have been cool, but other things would...not have been. I can see some of the flaws in the finished product as illuminated in the comparisons, but...I still thought it was a good movie.
Speaking of trailers, the other day I watched two trailers that have me
very
interested. Scroll down to 21/05/09 for
Surrogates
and
Gamer.
The latter, starring Gerard Butler and Michael C Hall, looks pretty good, albeit as a kind of bastard child of
Harsh Realm
and
Running Man.
However, the former is the one that really interests me.

I'm wondering how
Surrogates
will score on the Bruce Willis Toupeé Index - generally speaking, the closer the movie comes to showing his natural hairline, the better it is.

Pssst, Harry.
I have a special fondness for that film since it's one of the few filmed in the Northeast Kingdom of VT, where I spent my summers growing up.
Pssst, Harry.
I thought that looked wrong. It's the funny Hitchcock!
It's not the only one!
The Lady Vanishes, Mr & Mrs. Smith, Family Plot...
Pssst, Harry.
Oops. Drunk posting last night. Appy polly logies.
The Lady Vanishes, Mr & Mrs. Smith, Family Plot...
Hell, North by Northwest has some of the funniest scenes that Hitchcock or Cary Grant put on film.
