Good Morning, World


I think that we can all agree that this shot of Richard "Dick" Madden strolling out of the surf is the only couple of seconds in the trailer for Killer Heat that looks of interest -- I can't with Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Shaileene Woodley (especially Shaileene) anymore, but I will probably watch this thing because the draw o' Dick is just that strong. 

That title -- Killer Heat -- makes me laugh every time I read it; there's something so Skinemax 90s erotica about it. If it had been that kind of movie with Richard as the star I would be ten ways to Sunday thrilled -- we need more neo-trash. But alas, this looks like some generic vacation noir nonsense, just with a wildly unappealing femme fatale in Shaileene. Good job, everybody. Still, there's always Dick to consider...

Richard's career is pretty disappointing. He's now starring with Trump supporters like Shailene! It's interesting that Jonathan Bailey is so much more successful and he's not a closet case

Gordon-Levitt has fallen from grace with you? How? Why? I missed the memo!

JGL could probably win me back but I found his performance in The Walk as Philippe Petit was one of the worst things I have ever been subjected to and I haven't been able to watch him since without cringing

This is based on a Scandinavian noir and the trailer beefs up the story, Especially the female lead. One thing missing is the RM PLAYS TWINS!!

BTW: JGL was a delight with his singing and dancing recap of the Trump/Kamala debate in NYT
