one more thing. the one film i am very much looking forward to is the adaptation of cormac mccarthy's novel the road. it is slated for a late november release which will put it in line with not only the holiday season but even perhaps the oscars as well. as for the former, it is an odd choice for christmas given the subject matter and for the latter, who cares about awards. what matters is the film itself.

and so anyway, here's a piece recently published by the new york times about the film that features the brilliant viggo mortensen as the father with a few pics from the set. more pics can be found here. i find the photo of the father and son face-to-face in an embrace utterly heartbreaking. just look at mortensen's eyes.
