All well here ~ the city is as beautiful as always.
I saw Uwe Boll's locally filmed Darfur last night ~ this is an emotionally devastating and draining film ~ the ending left me in tears. :bluesad: No joke: it is brutal, bloody, depressing and a great film. I couldn't eat or sleep much last night. :bluesad:
The producer / co-writer Chris Roland was there and I told him that the Uwe Boll of House of The Dead and Alone In The Dark was not present here. Darfur is truly the work of a very talented director whose best work is yet to come, if he can keep away from making bad movies from great video games.
Sorry Andrew, but I told Mr Roland that Uncle Uwe has a new fan now: me. :smile:
Oh I've been a fan of his ever since House of the Dead :teddyr: Well, maybe "fan" is a bit strong. I have a perverse curiosity about what he can possibly do next.

Well put, Jack.
Count me in. I have only seen one Boll film - In the Name of the King - and I enjoy it (yes bought the dvd). My curiosity is not so 'perverse' though: I want to see Boll do light comedy. While I may lack the cinematic sophistication of many on this board, I will dare to suggest that I think Boll would have what it takes. Nice to hear he has finally come through with a film that hits the mark. :thumbup:
uwe aside... what else excitng is happening Trev? Have you seen Buff Meatcake?
I've never seen one of his films. Not cuz I don't wanna-just never have. Would like to see POSTAL-just because me freind Verne Troyer is in it. Verne is a weird guy....but he is a Michigan State fan-and lotsa fun playing ping pong with! Good sense of humor too.

It was OK, thanks ~ Cape Town is where my Dad grew up so when I'm there, I feel him very close to me. I was on top of Chapman's Peak (the road that winds around Table Mountain) with its' stunning views when I decided to stop up there at a lookout point and released him into the wind. I've wanted to do that for the last two years. Strange: I felt :teddyr: and a bit :bluesad: after doing that.
That wind up there was something else again. :buggedout: :buggedout:
