View From the Bushes

I wasn't going to post at all today. I figure I was due a day off. I didn't bother to check how long it's been since a missed a day, but it has to have been many moons. I donated platelets this morning and it threw everything off. I watched The Bourne Supremacy, which was very enjoyable, although I guess it has very little in common with the books (which I haven't read). though I think I missed about ten minutes because of a bad DVD.

One thing that amazed me is I had just barely re-watched X2, and of course, Brian Cox, but he looks so much younger and fitter in X2, I'm not sure if he worked out quite a bit or if it was just hair coloring or what, but if it wasn't for the voice (and IMDB) I almost wouldn't believe it was the same person.

Of course, the greatest transformation between two movies was Daniel Day-Lewis as Cecil in "Room with a View" and Hawkeye in "Last of the Mohicans." Here's a bit of trivia I just discovered: If you look at the links to actors, you'll see that the links are just numbers, presumably assigned in the order the film and the actor was entered. The first actor is Fred Astaire (#2 is Lauren Bacall), and the first movie is Carmencita (apparently a 1894 Edison film).
