: Well as you guys know the flick is released on tuesday at a fine Blockbuster near you. Since I am sleeping with the manager
---Congragulations!
I got to see it earlier. I must say overall I really enjoyed it. It was actually a very good movie.
---Thanks!
The dialogue was great and the camera work was also superb.
------Credit where credit is due....The words of Matt Gissing.....Camera work by the incredible Brian Pearson
Check it out on Tuesday.
-----Please do....I'm curious as to how the Americans are gonna like it....The fucking Canadian Press (bless there hearts) treated it as a cinematic abortion.....as if I had given the world the prequel to Howard the Duck...featuring song and dance numbers by Paula Abdul and Skat Kat.
And today I read the Entertainment Weekly piece...I feel like Sally Field.
I'll be the first to admit the flick is far from perfect......But I think that it is worth a rental just to watch Jake and Denise.....(Busey is brilliant..in my humble opinion).
And Breckin does a great job as the emotional core. That boy was a fucking trooper.
I'm really proud of the cast....and it looks like they've all gone on to bigger and better things.......so The Tail Lights Fade debacle will soon be a distant memory.
Thanks Kev......for giving a guy not one breaks...but two
and countless others

p.s
I too gave you a break
But cookie jars don't count
