I'd love that. I know a few of the details from the Field Museum website but I'm always interested in learning more.Avatar wrote:If you want to read a good article about the real story, let me know and I'll post it or mail it to you.

I have been watching Chasing Liberty this morning. One of my friends has been after me for months now to watch it. It is sort of a modern updating of the Peck/Hepburn classic Roman Holiday, which is a movie that I really like. 
Chasing Liberty is simply not as good as Roman Holiday (how could you ever improve on a pairing of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck?
), but it is certainly still a fairly cute movie. I have been enjoying it in a sort of mind candy way.

Finally saw Serenity. Not very impressed. From all the hype, I was expecting it to be a bit better than that. Have been inspired to watch some eps of Firefly if I get the chance, though.
Also watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and was reminded how much I hate Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. Someone should have put a gun to Sir Ian McKellan's head and forced him to do Dumbledore... He would have been so much better. Has Gambon even read HP? He has a very warped sense of what his character's supposed to be like.

Re-watched Out of the Past. Do not judge it on the horrible remake that was Against All Odds. It is the definative film noir, and Robert Mitchum is amazing in it.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Red Eye is rather clever, if conventional. You'll prolly like it.

i'm a big Craven fan. will watch anything he directs or produces (with the exception of Last House on the Left, too intense to EVER watch again!). brilliant guy.Cail wrote:Red Eye is rather clever, if conventional. You'll prolly like it.
