Adoration is great Sam, I hope you like it as much as I did after seeing it. Dame, it makes for a better film when those things are in context, but the trailer is werid, I’ll give it that.

The first half of the trailer peaked my interest (even though I have an intense dislike of Tim Robbins for God knows what reason) but by the second half I was so over it. So much bad shit happened to them on the way to Vegas that I just couldn't take it: the big wooden pole going through the windshield, the bitch who insults Rachel McAdams' limp and then that f-ing tornado.

I'm kinda kicking myself now, it sounds interesting. One of the more exciting sounding projects this year for me is I've Loved You So Long, mainly because I have loved Scott Thomas for so long, and she always gives a good performance, but there are whispers of "greatness" and that excites me beyond words. {at least I didn't say I am salivating, lol, I bought a thesaurus} Adoration….I could have seen it at a fest in August!
