I didn't remember seeing him in the commercials for the movie back when it was in theaters, but, seeing it on the dvd ad made me rent it.<BR/>And, it was cool!<BR/>OK, I'll give it to you honestly. It was a chick-flick, but some very interesting things happen during the mivie that it's into the "cool" zone.<BR/>#1 I can't remember the name of the actress that plays the lead, but she puts forward a very convincing and moving portrayal. DANG! What GUMPTION! And, for a "crier" no less! I loved it and for all the world felt like I knew her words from the inside when she was going off on the main theme (near middle to two thirds through)<BR/>#2 The part played by Eli Wallach was what got me on this roll here....he didn't want recognition for the role he had played for sixty years in hollywood as a writer (it's the part he was playing....) but, when he finally goes, what a great tribute he got, and he ATE IT UP!<BR/>#3 Well, dang! Can't get around this here. I just wanted to see Jack pull off a character that was real instead of the usual stuff he's done. And, it was a fairly good job, too.<BR/><BR/>Sure, you can see the plot unfold in the first few minutes, and yes, it is so predictable you just know who gets who and so on, but, it isn't the end that's important, is it?<BR/>It's the journey.<BR/><BR/>(I figure if I add something dramatic like THAT, well, maybe folks won't notice I liked a chick-flick, eh?)bonemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615987464724590203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-6191296998967710462007-08-24T17:55:00.000-05:002007-08-24T17:55:00.000-05:00me too, mayden. i get it. its about time we answer...me too, mayden. i get it. its about time we answer the call. ain't it?the.red.mantissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648363657298594034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-8926668872625228022007-08-24T12:00:00.000-05:002007-08-24T12:00:00.000-05:00When you get it published I want an autographed co...When you get it published I want an autographed copy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567372758347040220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-50879077914898275702007-08-24T11:18:00.000-05:002007-08-24T11:18:00.000-05:00Dern, Chile', c'mon down heah and get me organized...Dern, Chile', c'mon down heah and get me organized!! Thas' amazin' order out brought outa chaos<BR/>...sigh.<BR/><BR/>Know that She-pup tole ya a lotta stuff, and mayhap SHE even covered this point, but a bit of repetition won't hurt-- (This applies only iffin' ya's seekin' publication) every decent writer will tell ya' that inspiration will come -eventually. <BR/><BR/>Even more important is the discipline...yep, jes' dull discipline. It's like when ya see a golfer hit that 25 foot put.....it warn't inpsiration per se, though it looked like poetry...nope it were HOURS spent on the puttin' green. <BR/><BR/>Writers write come hell or high water...jes' plant your fanny in the chair a few hours a day and write. It is as much craft as talent. And undisciplined talent doan make it too far, cause there's always a writer or two or ten thousand out there who will discipline they selves.<BR/><BR/>Cain't wait ter see some of your stuff!Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-66115332177356898862007-08-24T10:15:00.000-05:002007-08-24T10:15:00.000-05:00Now THAT sounds exciting Cora..good for you...ahhh...Now THAT sounds exciting Cora..good for you...ahhhhhhh looking inward...it is a quite an experience..and ongoing I might add. <BR/><BR/>HUGS!!leeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659647396847327564noreply@blogger.com
