A trailer for "Good" has arrived! Viggo! With Jason Isaacs!
Summary: The rise of national socialism in Germany should not be regarded as a conspiracy of madmen. Millions of "good" people found themselves in a society spiralling into terrible chaos. A film about then, which illuminates the terrors of now. [Source]
If only a release date was available. In the meantime, we have Appaloosa, in limited release, in September and The Road in November.
I watched the trailer before bed and, connections like this rarely happen to me, but I dreamed about being rounded up by Nazis. I was working for my company in Germany and my family was visiting when, suddenly, Germany started rounding up the Jews. I had about 10 minutes to pack one bag and I couldn't take Sally and everyone was crying and there were all of these soldiers with guns. A friend I trusted was there in his new Nazi uniform giving me advice to just trust that this was a short little phase and I'd be home soon. I called the American embassy and they were all, "This is the first we've heard of this. We'll make some calls." But I'm screaming, "They're here! They're coming for us now!!" I work up right as they were coming at me with a whip to get me off the phone. Seriously terrifying.
I saw Hellboy II yesterday and enjoyed it tremendously. The scene with Abe and Hellboy singing "I Can't Smile Without You" had me in stitches! I loved the final fight scene. The gears were awesome. I'm always impressed these days when a director can add something new to a fight scene. This one was stunning. And I was totally smitten with the prince and princess. Both of them. I completely sympathized with the prince and, like Abe, just wanted to protect the princess.
A friend got an iPhone on Friday (after 6 hrs at the store) so, at dinner last night, we spent a lot of time playing around. I'm very glad to see that the v2.0 upgrade provides most of the software features on the new phone. I'm already bitter enough about the faster processing speed on the new iPhone. But I love my new features! It always bugged me that I couldn't save photos from e-mails to my phone but now I can! I also added a bunch of free apps.
It's a perfectly clear morning and I'm filling it with a hike. I need to get my butt in gear (and also accept I'm not going to be outside my friend's house at 10am).
