Movies

On an average day I probably spend on average, about 15 seconds thinking about celebrities - among these are sports figures, actors, and all around useless sorts. 

Thinking about these sods is distinguished from thinking about or watching movies.  One can watch a movie and not have a second thought about the actor in the film - which is usually the case.  However, if one has favorites, and I do - then what is thrilling is finding out they have a made a follow-up to the original.

I have a favorite film and, four or five days ago I found out they have made a second film - a follow-up to the original.  The original film did very poorly at the boxoffice - and I mean very poor.  It was savaged by the critics and sent into oblivion, where a strange thing happened ... a following developed.  The film cost about $6 million to produce and in the end, somewhere around $260,000 was made in distribution (yes, $260 thousand) but $7 million in DVD sales.

The film, Boondock Saints

The critics were wrong, it was a good film, and in my opinion, one of the top 3 or 4 films I have watched.

On October 31, Boondock Saints: All Saints Day will be released into theaters.

It is one film I am looking forward to going to when it opens and will gladly hand over the money to see the film (unlike most of the movies I have seen).
