Went to Borders Chadstone yesterday in order to do something. I felt like doing nothing but something had to be done. I learned some interesting stuff. The movie Be Cool was actually based upon a novel, as was the first movie in the series Get Shorty. The writer of the screenplay was someone else, who had nothing to do with the first movie. In the beginning of the movie, Chilli Palmer says “Did you know that unless your movie has an R rating, you can only say ‘fuck’ twice? Well you know what I say? Fuck that.” This was an actual problem for the screen writer of the movie because the studio told him that they needed an M13+ rating for the movie and, it being a movie full of hitmen and gangsta rappers, he had over 100 uses of the f word in almost as many pages. His decision to use the two available uses up front was therefore part of the joke.
In other news, 50 Cent is starring in his own movie, loosely based upon his life. Originally Samuel L. Jackson was asked to star in the movie as well, an opportunity he would have accepted as he really wanted to work with the director. However, he said that he didn’t want to work next to 50 who was only there because of his name and not his acting credentials. Right on. Anyway, 50 said that the biggest problem acting-wise for him is memorizing. If that’s his biggest problem then I really worry about the quality of this movie.
Anyway, the biggest and best thing I didn’t mention about watching the movie Sahara was the preview I got to see. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is coming out very very very soon and I can barely sit still in anticipation. So many things can go wrong and the original magic of the books can not come through. Maybe the jokes won’t be as funny on screen, maybe the casting will be wrong, and a whole lot of other things. But THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE IS COMING OUT!!! and I don’t care. 28th of April people! 28th of April!!!
Other than that life sucks right now.
