Sigh.
Mitch Rapp's new jacket.
QOTD
"The jacket was perfect, at least in terms of what he was looking for. It had big square oversized pockets in the front. Good for holding weapons. No flaps. Good for extracting weapons. There was a tear on the left shoulder seam, but that was all right. He wouldn't be hanging out at the Ritz. Both the mosque and Khalil's apartment were in a rundown part of town. It was a pity he couldn't keep the jacket, but there was a pretty good chance he was going to get blood on it. This one was going to be messy."

Golly.

Movie: "The Road"
Review: 3 bill-stars (out of 5)... really good.

I gave the book 4 bill-stars: Desolate Desolation.
The movie was really, really good.
Just not as good as the book. How could it be?
The subject isn't too endearing either... bleakness. I thought they did pretty well though, and it wasn't really boring at all. In fact, it might have been a better movie if we felt some of the boredom and mundane desperation that you feel in the book, rather than the more episodic nature of the movie.

Look, Viggo was better than I thought he would be. But still... casting Viggo and Charlize Theron as post-apocalyptic survivalists... jeez, they're too hot. I don't care how you muss them up.
It was a very creative and interesting movie to watch... definitely worth seeing.
yow, bill
