To The Mystery Swimmer...

... in the trailer for Bryan Singer's Valkyrie:


For you I have a question.

Are you Thomas Kretschmann? Can you please be Thomas Kretschmann? I need you to be Thomas Kretschmann, okay? You being Thomas Kretschmann helps me a lot towards feeling less fuzzy in the head about my desires to see Valkyrie.

See, I know that Thomas Kretschmann was an Olympic swimmer back in the day - it's one of my favorite things to think about, ever, actually - so it sorta makes sense that that would be him. He's playing a Nazi, there's a big swastika in the pool... I'm not totally randomly grabbing at straws here. And Thomas Kretschmann in swimming trunks makes things feel better.

Anyway, I talk a little more about the trailer for Valkyrie over at The Film Experience today. I don't know why I am so flummoxed by this movie. It's got me all bonkers with indecision though. Me? Bonkers? Never!

And one last thing:


That shot, also from the trailer, is cool.
