Oh, that makes sense. And yeah, it's another Scorsese/DiCaprio. It does look good, and I just read it was based on a Dennis Lehane novel, which makes me want to read it first.

Maybe they want to redo the Shutter Island promos so they don't give away the entire story. Because I was more interested in it before I saw the trailer, and went "Oh. Seriously?"

I liked the book, but I don't like Di Caprio as much as Scorcese does.

I just saw a trailer for a movie called Bottle Shock that I think I'm now going to have to rent. It's about the upstart California wine business vs. France in the 70's with Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku.

Good to hear. This weekend I watched "Duplicity" "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" and "The Secret Life of Bees" enjoyed them all, but not as much as last weekend's "James & the Giant Peach" "Taken" and "Milk" Next week Looks like, "Slumdog Millionaire" "The Duchess" and "Adventureland" depending on whether or not I swap out "Bottle Shock" for one of those.
New job has its perks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just watched "Nick & Nora" also and I literally covered my eyes during a particular bathroom scene. I just could not accept that someone (no matter how drunk) would go back for gum.
Nope.
Not gonna imagine it or see it.

Yeah, not great, but fun. And pretty. I'd put that ahead of The Duchess.

Also, I really did like "The Secret Life of Bees" a little movie of the weekish, but good enough to spend a Saturday evening.
I was surprised by my reaction to her dad showing up at the honey farm. I was not just scared for Lilly, but for the Boatwright women. It felt like such a protected place, and the thought that this white male, regardless of his social or economic status could come in and ruin the whole thing creeped me right out.
It also makes much of Mad Men way creepier for me.
