Glad to hear you folks finally won your battle to see The Road. I was fortunate to be at the premier in LA and had a chance to talk with Viggo for a bit at the gala in his honor. He truly doesn't care about awards for himself, but in my opinion, if he doesn't get nominated for the Man, I give up on awards shows period. Anyway, I have now seen the film 6 times, and it breaks my heart and makes me love the human race every single time. The Weinsteins lack the courage of their convictions. This film should be everywhere. Instead of putting in on the back burner, they should move it up front and put it in peoples' faces. It's the most important film since Apocalypse Now, and it will change your life and haunt you for months, maybe forever. Enjoy, if that's the right word.

Thanks for your thoughts on "The Road." I hope to see the picture shortly after the holidays, if it is still available at Railroad Square Cinema or (finally) comes to a Bangor area cinema. Until I see it, I'll have to wait on giving my thoughts about Viggo's performance.

I hope to see "The Road" too here in the Bangor area (or close) or will have to wait till it comes out on DVD. I also really really want to see the movie "Crazy Hearts" with Jeff Bridges (Oscar buzz already) and one of my favorites, Maggie Gullenhal (spelling?? There is, I think, a "y" in there somewhere! Too much egg nog tonight, I guess!!) So many movies...not enough time! "Crazy Hearts" is also likely to be another difficult movie to find showing in the Bangor area!!

Keep an eye out at the Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville for "Crazy Hearts," as well as "The Road." If both were showing in Waterville, it might be worth the drive for such a double feature. RR Sq Cinema's web address can be found in one of my prior posts.
