Cinema

Went to see Rush this evening.

Hemsworth did a pretty good job with Hunt's accent and mannerisms. (I'm well old enough to remember the things the film covers).

I'm not sure how much interest there might be in the USA about the film though - I know that F1 isn't such a big sport over there as it is in Europe. Even without knowing much about the sport - or the personalities involved - it's still a pretty good film and US Americans with any kind of interest in motor racing should like it.

You could tell from the pre-film adverts exactly who they thought would be watching - in spite of the audience being 50/50 male/female the adverts were: two for men's colognes, three for cars of the sort that appeal to 18-30 year old males, two vodka ads, two ads for Grand Theft Auto, (because only males play games, don't you know), and the ubiquitous EE network (mobile phone) ad. Sexist pillocks.

Of the trailers one upcoming film looks good - Gravity. Definitely going to look out for that one.

See you next week, goodnight and may your God/s go with you
