.....You
Know what? I love James Bond. I love Sean Connery as James Bond.
Sean Connery is no longer James Bond though. If you have seen
the trailers, or God forbid the actual film "Finding Forrester",
I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Apparently sometime
in the past couple of years Connery has lost his mind and is actually
becoming a parody of himself much like the jeopardy portrayal
of him on SNL. Don't think I forgot about that big fat turd called
Entrapment either. That should have been the first sign that he
was losing it. A 90 year old actor portraying an action hero should
have been enough, but I was in denial. I would like to go on record
right now as saying that I would rather jam an ice pick into my
naval than sit through "Finding Forrester".
.....What
do you think he was thinking when he signed on for this film?
Check this out:
....."I
think the theme of unlikely friendships is one that movies can
explore with particular depth and imagination," says producer
Laurence Mark. "At any rate, it's certainly a theme that has always
appealed to me. What could be more unlikely than the notion of
a J. D. Salinger-like character becoming the mentor and friend
to a 16-year-old, black basketball player from the South Bronx.
It's unusual— and ultimately very moving."
.....It's
also suicide inducing. We here at SMOTW are formally asking you
to hang it up as far as film goes, and perhaps become a fixture
on "Hollywood Squares" if it is still on. No more movies
though or we're coming to your house and bludgeoning you to death
with your own stupid beard.
