Finally got to watch it last night. DVR'd it from cable. I really liked it, but didn't obviously like that the cursing was edited out. I got confused for a while but then I figured out what was going on. Pretty messed up how many people were involved. Not sure if I would have turned the guy in or not.

How Casey Affleck doesn't get more roles blows my mind. He might be turning them down I don't know, but he is very underrated.

this

and yes, Gone Baby Gone is great. Watched it last week. Pretty tough situation to find yourself in at the end of the movie. Turn the guy in....the girl probably isn't happy and goes with an unfit/unreliable mother; let the guy go....the girl stays happy but the kidnapper gets away with it.

spoiler










































but doesn't the guy just babysit the girl all the time so won't she be happy with the guy.

plus it will be alot different later in life when she is in her teens it may be better if she is with her birth mother instead of her kidnap parents.

I don't know about all the time, but at the end he babysits the girl when the mom leaves to go out whoreing. You can see it in his face that he sort of regrets the decision to turn the kidnapper in. I think it's a double edge sword obviously because one person's breaking the law by kidnapping, and on the other side, you have a whore of a mother and who doubles as a nose candy fein.

100x better actor than his brother. He has to be turning down roles.

I am reading Dennis Lehane's follow up to Gone Baby Gone as we speak.

This is the description from amazon but it might contain some spoilers for those wanting not to know















quote:

An old case takes on new dimensions in Lehane's sixth crime novel to feature Boston PIs Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, last seen in 1999's Prayers for Rain. Twelve years earlier, in 1998's Gone, Baby, Gone, Patrick and Angie investigated the kidnapping of four-year-old Amanda McCready. The case drove a temporary wedge between the pair after Patrick returned Amanda to her mother's neglectful care. Now Patrick and Angie are married, the parents of four-year-old Gabriella, and barely making ends meet with Patrick's PI gigs while Angie finishes graduate school. But when Amanda's aunt comes to Patrick and tells him that Amanda, now a 16-year-old honor student, is once again missing, he vows to find the girl, even if it means confronting the consequences of choices he made that have haunted him for years. While Lehane addresses much of the moral ambiguity from Gone, this entry lacks some of the gritty rawness of the early Kenzie and Gennaro books.

If you believe what's on the celeb gossip blogs, he is a world class a-hole.

dank arse movie.




Spoilers:











I love the tough argument it brings up in the end over guardianship of the girl and what is the right thing to do. Everyone who I saw it with was split down the middle on what side they took. I would've left her with Morgan Freeman.

Oh and the wife/gf is a little count for leaving him for calling it in. I mean frick.

if you read the series of books, you would realize they had a really bad relationship that wasn't meant to last. Not surprising at all.

I highly recommend all of dennis lehane's books. they are excellent.

no, I don't buy hardbacks and I am like 200 on the waiting list at the library. But I will.

I always read mr lehane's book. Like robert crais too, which I find as similar to lehane in themese and style, although lehane is a far superior at the plot twists.
