Random Thought 2/23
A couple thoughts after watching "Million Dollar Baby" last night:
I'm convinced that if Morgan Freeman narrated Gigli, it would have been up for a best picture.
Great quote from Nicole last night "doesnt Clint Eastwood look like Lord Voldemort?" ...you know at the end of the first Harry Potter movie when he comes out the back of professor quirrels head...Clint looks just like him, its hilarious.
The movie itself was pretty good, although it was difficult to get over just how old Clint and Freeman looked. I also had a tough time getting past the preview of "Beauty Shop" featuring Queen Latifah and Djimon Hounsou, whom you might remember from his Golden Globe nominated performace as a slave in Amistad back in 97. Oh how the mighty have fallen! This could top Welcome to Mooseport on my "films that make me want to kill myself" list.
Back to the movie, it was nice to see "Papa Doc" from 8 Mile landing a small role as the cocky black guy with the deadly left hook who thinks he is the shit....type cast much?
I have seen Aviator and Sideways along with MDB, Ray and Finding Neverland are still on my list but my guess is the MDB takes the best picture down if only because of the aforementioned Morgan Freeman narration. Only Kiefer Sutherland has a more profitable voice then Freeman, see 24, Phone Booth, MCI commercials.
I also think that they should have ended the movie with the whole cast meeting at a bar on the beach of Zihautenjo with Tim Robbins serving drinks and calling people 'Red'. Maybe it will be under the alternate endings section on the dvd.
