And starring Morgan Freeman as...
... Morgan Freeman!
Two things (I know I said I wasn't writing, and I was kind of flippant about that... I may explain more later, as things develop).
First of all, I just watched Unforgiven. First caveat: Unforgiven is an awesome movie. Really, really awesome. It also stars:
Gene Hackman: playing a curmudgeonly man whose heart is in the right place although his actions are not always appropriate;
Morgan Freeman: playing an older, world-wise man who doesn't have the heart to do evil, and so mostly serves as the voice of wisdom for
Clint Eastwood: playing a gruff, take-no-shit bloke whose undefined but deeply-held code of ethics means you can watch him do cold-blooded shit while considering him "morally ambiguous".
These are the three main characters, all of whom are way, way out of their comfort zone here, so it's well worth a watch.
Second of all, today's word that sounds vaguely inappropriate while being completely innocuous: bistable multivibrator.

Unforgiven is a decent movie if you like westerns. However, I feel as if I've seen it before. You may have described every character ever played by those actors. Even so, I look forward to watching Grand Torino where Eastwood plays "a gruff, take-no-shit bloke whose undefined but deeply-held code of ethics means you can watch him do cold-blooded shit while considering him 'morally ambiguous'". Though it is clear that he is really stretching his rangethis time. It may still be in the west, but it's modern now and his horse is a car of the titular model. Also, does it make me a nerd if I didn't have to click the link to know what it was? |

It does, but that's probably ok, since I did too. At least, I can't judge :D And yeah, that was kind of my thoughts on the movie. Like, it was a decent movie, but man it was like a greatest hits version of the actors. They could've had Mary McDonnell playing "sad-looking woman" or Samuel L. Jackson playing "bad-ass" or Jeff Goldblum playing... Jeff Goldblum... I guess. Still. It's a movie that was apparently written to play to the dimension of the actors. I haven't seen Gran Torino yet but I am kind of looking forward to that too. -CA |
