Birthdays
Eva Marie Saint b. 1924 (Superman Returns)
Ted Elliott b. 1961 (co-writer with Terry Rossio of the Pirates of the Caribbean series)
Looking on imdb.com, I could only find one credit in Ms. Saint's long and illustrious career that could count as genre, and it's in a movie that has already been re-booted.
But seriously, if I have a choice for the picture slot and it's between a fabulous babe and a writer, can that even be called a choice at all?
I think not.
Many happy returns to Ms. Saint and Mr. Elliot.
Prediction: On 4 July 2008, action star Boxer Santaros, former pornstar/reality show star Krysta Now and twins Ronald and Roland Taverner hold the key to the future in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles.
Predictor: Southland Tales released 14 November 2007
Reality: I have met people who will defend this film, but the guy who wrote it also made Donnie Darko and I don't know anyone who thinks this was a step up. The movie is counted as a 2006 release because it aired at Cannes that year, but it was pulled and re-tooled after a vicious critical reception.
There are some kinda sorta predictions about the future in the script, the one I remember best is the idea that California is a battleground state in the 2008 election. Regardless of your political persuasion, that would have to be called a failed prediction.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Yet another French postcard from the early 1900s predicting life in the year 2000!
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
bravo on the picture selection!
