Whew, one less fight I have to have today: car is ready and they're not going to charge me for the damn fuse, figuring it was something they did.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Isn't this pup an interesting color? He's like a blue brindle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and I just was looking through my own notes, and I guess it was Kai Ryssdal the other day.

I think if you really dislike Tom Hanks, you might not like Cloud Atlas. For me, I loved the book and am a big fan of the Wachowskis, so I'm willing to forego premature judgment of the questionable casting choices until I've seen it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't feel it's premature to conclude he's in it, unless there's a really devious plan they've got up their sleeves. Is there something you gleaned from advance viewing that you can share? It's a robot? It's JGL playing a young Tom Hanks? Amanda Byne in drag?
It's true--this might finally be the one movie where he's not Tom Hanks and I get caught up in his great performance and taken where the directors and all the cast and crew intend me to go, but I'm not willing to gamble ticket prices on it, and awkwardness of leaving the theatre in the middle of the flick. That's a waste of money, and rude to people who're enjoying themselves.

I think it's premature to conclude he's been miscast until I see the performance. Ditto Halle Berry.

ita's reservations are mine - my understanding is that Tom Hanks is a great guy, and he's responsible for producing some projects I've really liked, but I don't think I've enjoyed an onscreen performance of his since Philadelphia.
