The release of this movie took me as a surprise.
So what I wanna know is what else is coming down the pike this anticipated?

Love that they made the character's last name Kowalski. Just watched Vanishing Point the other night.

Did you like it? It struck me as Thelma & Louise, minus Louise.

'70s nihilism.

Aren't Hmong broads a little small to play football at Wisc U?

'70s nihilism.

Heh. From my Twitter account right after I saw it:

Watched Vanishing Point. Perfectly predictable ending for 1971. 11:58 PM Jan 3rd from web

Aside from hating '70s nihilism, I liked it. That mindset was so prevalent that anytime I watch a movie from then, I try to think, "Okay, aside from everyone in this decade being a bunch of shiftless, melancholy depressives, how was this film?"

So, like it overall? No. Like it fine for the '70s? Yes.

I liked that Eastwood used the name Kowalski because the Kowalski in Vanishing Point is a character with a traditional sense of honor lost in a world of hedonism.

It's a brilliant movie, Troop. See it if you already haven't.

Those New York Giants are like badgers!
