Finally Con Air bubbled to the top of my Netflix queue, which has been on my "to see" list ever since someone said I look like the canibal in that movie. Turns out that the canibal is Steve Buscemi, and I guess I can kind of see the resembalance. He's scrawnyish but we share the lips.
Anyway, that's possible because this movie has an insanely overpowered cast. Dave Chappelle was a surprise, but mostly I liked the long awaited encounter between Nicolas Cage and John Cusack... a pair way at the top of the list of "actors that most people can easily tell apart but Kirk keeps mixing up". Overall it's a weirdly over-the-top movie, but it never wants to wink, it seems to take itself pretty seriously. But I think the visual image of the sports car trailing behind the plane like a kite tail makes it all worthwhile. Baby Photos of the Moment Seperated at Birth?
News Commentary of the Moment "This was clearly a planned event, not a spontaneous event [...] I believe this was not an act of desperation, rather an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us." --Rear Adm. Harry Harris, commander of Joint Task Force-Guantanamo on the three recent suicides there. Wow... whoever thought that the "crack Suicide Squad" from "Life of Brian" would become a reality? Video of the Moment The Lord of the Rings reunion overdubbed with very dumb voices made me laugh, at least at the end. (via Boingboing) | |||||
