oooh, Daniel Craig. I dunno, that’s a tough choice.

I LOVE Don Cheadle. I’ll put that movie on my Netflix queue! Thanks for the info.

I’ve been looking at my meager pile of dollars and asking Daniel Craig (007) or Stranger than Fiction … I’ve got neck strain from going back and forth.

Have you seen United States of Leland? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301976/) Don Cheadle is a writer working at a boys prison and one of the boys (Leland’s) has a world famous writer as a father. My husband pretty much fell out of his chair in an early scene with Cheadle and his girlfriend where Cheadle says something to the effect of “you’re not a writer if no one’s reading you.” There were several times in the movie when my husband glanced over at me with this “so, it’s not just you” look on his face.

Guess my dollars this weekend will go for StF.

That caused me a moment of “whaaaat?” too. Maybe she wanted it that way? The character she plays is a recluse. Hmmmmmmmmm…

Oh wait, I found her listed on IMDB, right between “Homeless Man” and “Man with Hose,” but my confusion still stands.

I am really confused about this movie–for some reason, Emma Thompson keeps being left out! She’s NOWHERE mentioned on the IMDB website, and wasn’t she even a producer of the movie or something? There’s even a tv trailer where she doesn’t make a single appearance. Thompson is one of my favorite actors, but I can understand that to attract the usual Ferrel crowd, they might’ve left her out of one trailer, but then not to even show up in the cast list on IMDB… weird.
