It's too bad that Ryan Gosling has apparently turned into a diva and got hiself thrown off The Lovely Bones. Dan in Real Life sounds like The Family Stone and 40-Year-Old-Virgin thrown into a blender. I like both of those movies, but like carrots and eggs, I'm not sure I want to drink a smoothie made of those two ingredients. And Reservation Road is a total Debbie Downer, which is not necessarily a bad if you're into that sort of bawl-fest.</p> http://austinist.com/2007/10/26/new_at_the_movi.php#comment-1226103 http://austinist.com/2007/10/26/new_at_the_movi.php#comment-1226103 Comments Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:51:09 -0600 <p>Deep Water looks good, but anyone interested should know that Donald Crowhurst was not necessarily the most interesting competitor in that race, at least not compared to Bernard Moitessier, a bad-ass French zen acolyte who built a cast iron boat with a telephone pole for a mast and could have handily won the race, but dropped out becasue he didn't want to stop sailing. (But since I also grew up as a 'weekend sailor' I can attest to Crowhurst's insane underestimate of what it would require to pull it all off.)</p>
