Sounds like Phil could use a diversion this weekend while visiting the ‘rents; he’s already got a couple of DVD’s in hand.  What about you?  Are you up to watching a movie with us?

Phil’s holding The Quiet American and About Schmidt.  I’d prefer The Quiet American (I’ve seen About Schmidt already, sorry).  Anybody else have a preference?  Any other suggestions?  What about timing?

For Global Movie III – say in another week or so – let’s shoot for The Limey (mentioned in my last post.  Whadya’ say?

Mmm-mmm.  There’ve only been a handful of voices that do it for me.  

Deep, resonant voices like Sean Connery, Richard Burton, Raoul Julia, the kind that make me weak in the knees; just hearing their intonations causes a physical reaction.  Sadly, two have departed, making for a shortage of those voices-like-sex.

But I’d forgotten Tim Curry!  Fortunately I can get lots of him doing the Lemony Snicket audio books.  The Salon review is dead-on, he’s a perfect fit for the role.  Check out the snippet offered in the review and see if you don’t agree.

Who will be the next voice?  Dunno’, I don’t recall hearing one on the horizon, but at least I’ve got a fix that will last me until he arrives.
