Cowboy Up

[catch22girl]

Why didn't anyone warn me about this film??? Or rather, why didn't I pay more attention to the reactions of my friends to said film?

Just have to say *sob*...the crushing killing death scene, I couldn't watch it. I actually screamed and covered my eyes - GAH! Oh and when Hank's foot slipped off the rail? I gasped "NO!" *sob* I thought that Eli'd die, which would have been sad but I'd have been able to handle it -- but the crushing stabbing death? Nooooooooo.

Another really effective scene in the film was when Eli went to visit dad and he didn't know who he was. That was well done. I think the movie also took a little too long to actually get started, like the set-up was pretty lengthy and not entirely interesting. Although, that lengthy set up did pay off in the last half hour.

Oh well, I got Paradise Found to watch later..can we say sexual content? ;)

It wasn't until they came home without Hank that I FREAKED out. Watched it on the same day as Behind The Red Door. SO not a good idea.

WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE FINDING PARADISE FOUND???

Oh I freaked out in the hospital scene. Yeah, that would be a BAD combo. It was on Starz -- did I mention that it features kiefer with an english accent? Hnnnnnn.

What's Starz?

And I hope his English accent is a good one, or that's gonna piss me off.

Isn't Gauguin French? That makes no sense...

STARZ is one of the random movie channels we get here. Well...for some odd reason, in film, instead of people speaking the language or even having the right accent...they speak with an english accent. It's coded foreign. It's quite stupid, really.

I...don't really get what that means, but okay.

Well, like, when you're watching a movie where people are supposed to be talking, say, German. They speak english but with english accents. IT's like in Gladiator, they were supposed to be speaking Latin, obviously, but instead they spoke english with an accent.

I always figured people spoke American accents. Maybe not, I dunno. I only ever hear British accents in movies when it's evil guys or stereotypes.

Oh, wasn't that just the saddest thing? I guess it just caught me totally by surprise. I think I shrieked at the TV also.

I just was NOT expecting it. At all. Okay, good not just me, LOL
