Watched "Godsend" with friends tonight; somebody must have sent that piece of crap to us, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't God. (Netflix?) Julie guessed the ending, which I don't get, because everyone was making fun of the film too vigorously to really follow what people in The Business think of as a "plot". Really, how cliche is it to have the cloned kid turn out "wrong", as if everything, personality etc. (including memories) are coded into The Magical DNA®, as if Nature has finally triumphed once and for all over Nurture? Kicked Nurture's ass, as it were. What I want is essentially the same movie, except for the kid to be completely normal, a sweet but not sacharine character, and the parents are complete freaks. And not played by Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. Just throw the cloned kid in as a MacGuffin. And do these people have no idea how cloning works? Robert De Niro phones in yet another performance, proving once again that he's gunning for Christopher Walken's "Will Shame Self For Work" award. Maybe Bobbie just had some free time before filming the next installment in the "Analyze This" trilogy. This film just. Wouldn't. End.
Now I'm going to finish watching "All the King's Men," they called for me to come over right in the middle.
