Films i saw last weekend

Robin Williams was too Good .... and the below dialogue is rendered by Matt Damon :

Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot… Say I'm working at the NSA and somebody puts a code on my desk, something that no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. I'm real happy with myself because I did my job well but maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East and once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hiding. Fifteen hundred people that I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are saying, "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there getting shot just like it wasn't them when their number got called because they were all pulling a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie over there taking shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from and the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job because he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies use a little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're taking their sweet time bringing the oil back of course, maybe they even took the liberty to hire an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long till he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work, he can't afford to drive so he's walking to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks because the shrapnel in his ass is giving him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starving because every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue-plate special they're serving is Northern Atlantic Scrod with Quaker Stat! e. So what did I think? … I'm holding out for something better. I figure fuck it. While I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe, and join the National Guard. I could be elected president. Thanks a ton!

Hmm the plot was a bit ...hmmm hmmm... but ok i guess...

I even saw Ocean's 12 .... Catherine aaaaaaaaaah ..... and After the Sunset ... Pierce Brosnan is tops....

Catherine Zeta Jones.

Ah, L.A. Cath. I remember her on a red carpet somewhere and a British journalist starting talking to her, and there was Cath talking in an American accent, not realising that we were all laughing at her.

Silly, silly girl.
