Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
I wish I was more excited about this one. I really do. I’m glad other people are all jazzed up. The script left me cold except for a few action beats. It’s basically the “white guy from the outside tossed in with people of a noble but misunderstood culture who learns from them, and who teaches them a few things, too” paradigm, with nothing particularly new added. Warner Bros. has a thing about telling historical films. I was told by an executive there one time that “good history is the history with white faces on it... faces we recognize. Bad history is everything else.” That pretty much sums up my problems with this one so far. Maybe Zwick will pull it out and make something breathtaking. Maybe Cruise will elevate it through sheer force of will. Maybe it will be great.
We’ll see.
Anyway... here’s Scarface, a good egg who sends us stuff all the time...
Hey Harry!
There are only a few movies that I'm really excited about seeing this year...
They include...Kill Bill....Matrix Revolutions...Once Upon A Time In Mexico.... LOTR....and last but, not least....Ed Zwick's likely masterpiece...
"The Last Samurai."
WB just put up some really great footage of their film - "The Last Samurai."

Thanks, man.
So, what do you guys think? Are you more excited about this one than I am?
