New movie coming out that I must tell you about! It is "The 15:17 to Paris" and it is about the heroes on the train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015, remember that story, where three young Americans confronted a terrorist? (I mentioned them in a post in 2015, just here.)
Anyway, the most amazing thing, Clint Eastwood is the director and he did not use actors to portray the men. Instead, they will be played by the men themselves...Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler and Alek Scarlatos! You all know this is my kind of film and that is just the kind of special touch that I like.
It looks as though the movie will be released in February. Look out for it!
Anybody seen the new Star Wars movie yet? I haven't, so tell me if you like it! Sometimes, hair stylists will cut my hair in such a way that I look like Darth Vader! (Anybody remember him, or is that too long ago and far away?)
I saw the trailer for the film "The 15:17 To Paris" while I was watching the Rose Bowl on TV, Georgia vs Oklahoma. Guess who I was cheering for? (My readers from other parts of the world have no idea how important college football games are to so many people!) Who will win? The score is 38-45 with Oklahoma in the lead but there is six minutes left...will Georgia come back to win it? Time will tell! (The game is now tied 45-45 with 55 seconds left! What will happen...I will let you know!)
Okay...GEORGIA WON! Final score: 54-48 in double overtime!
Lots of happy folks in Georgia tonight!

Speaking of time... Happy 2018 everyone!
Some of my family saw the Star Wars and loved it. The movie you talked about seems really interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI love movies that are based on true stories. They always have to "Hollywood them up" but I hope Clint Eastwood will do a good job with this one.
DeleteThanks for the heads up about the movie; bravo to Clint Eastwood for bringing this to the screen and for using the men rather than actors.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Terra! Glad to mention it here and I hope to be able to see it at my local cinema.
DeleteLast time I looked they were in a double overtime. Must have been a good game. I have not seen the new Star Wars movie yet. It has been too cold to stick my nose out.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the cold, wish I could stay in!
DeleteCongratulations to Georgia, and that movie sounds like it should be really good!
ReplyDeleteThat really was an incredible game, but you know me, it was the ad for the movie that made me hurry to my computer and to try and write a post to tell you about it!
DeleteCongratulations on the Georgia victory! My son saw the Star Wars movie and thinks it is the second best of the whole series as did another friend who saw it with her husband. Andy went to the midnight showing the day it opened. I certainly plan to see it soon.Thanks for telling us about the new movie. There are a lot of good ones coming up, including some I would like to see with my grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could also see Jumanji, that looks so good! Our son was such a huge fan of the first one!
DeleteI MIGHT go and see the Stars Wars film but honestly, I might have to wait and see it on DVD! :-)
Nice to know the football victory made you happy, Kay... were you watching it with your Dad on the phone? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have always been a Star Trek fan, never been much into Star Wars, that was more Steve's world.
It is certainly an unusual approach to a movie having the real life protagonists of an event play themselves, that really does sound like your kind of film.
I called my Dad after the game was over. I didn't want to be on the phone with him and he would miss some of the plays and calls if he was concentrating on talking to me. Baseball is slower and therefore easier to converse on the phone at the same time!
DeleteAh, you have reminded me...I MUST do my post about Star Trek!
YES! You know how much this is my kind of film!! I was very pleased to see that the men will play themselves, a most unusual thing for the director to do.
I didn't know Clint Eastwood was a director. I did love him as an actor. Watch a good many of his movies. Glad to know there were happy people in Georgia Happy New Year !
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Clint Eastwood has been directing movies for many years. I just looked it up, and the very first one he directed was "Play Misty For Me" and that was in 1971!
DeleteI think he is about 87 now and he is still directing!
The movie I'm looking forward to is "Darkest Hour" where Gary Oldman plays Churchill brilliantly, from all reports! Happy New Year! And glad your team won!
ReplyDeleteI know! I want to see that one very much!! It is in only a few theatres around in this area, so I might have to drive a bit to find it!
DeleteThe 15:17 To Paris is not likely to be my type of movie I'm afraid. I expect I'll see the Star Wars movie at some time in the distant future though.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think they should cast you in a Star Wars movie...can't you just see yourself in one of those costumes? I can somehow picture in long flowing robes of a deep purple. Let's see if this comes true!
DeleteGo Dawgs!!!!! That one was a nail biter!
ReplyDeleteI chuckle at your hair stylist making your hair look like Darth Vader. :) The same has happened to me.
Happy New Year!
Oh Lynn, I really shouldn't watch sports! I am too old for a game like that one! Do you know I couldn't sleep much that night after the game, I was so wound up!!
DeleteYes, you and I are both from the DARK SIDE...our hairdressers think so anyway! LOL!
Happy New Year Kay. I saw the new Star Wars Movie and enjoyed it. I won't tell you about it so as not to spoil it. Go Georgia! Beat Alabama!! I only say that, since any team that can beat my Irish deserve to be National Champs!!
ReplyDeleteHey Ed! Happy to know that you saw the new Star Wars and you liked it, it must be good!
DeleteGeorgia vs. Alabama, who will win? You know on Monday night, the roads around here will be very quiet, everyone will be watching the game!
I'm one of the few who probably won't see the new Star Wars movie. I think, from memory, I've only ever seen the first one...years ago. Not much of a fan, obviously! lol
ReplyDeleteI am am a fan of the film-making abilities of Clint Eastwood, though. And this sounds like it is a very interesting movie.
I truly enjoy the films that are "based on a true story". That is my kind of movie! I loved "The Railway Man" and "Bridge of Spies". These are just two that come to mind!
DeleteI'll look out for the film. Best movie I've seen here during the festive period was 'The Book Thief.' I loved it and I also think it's your type of film as well. Well acted, continuously interesting and sincere.
ReplyDeleteI just looked it up and you are absolutely right, I do think I would love it. Thanks for telling me about it!
DeleteHappy New Year 2018 to you, Kay, to your husband, children,
ReplyDeletefamily, friends, beloved ones!!
May all your dreams come true!! God may bless you all.
Thank you, Starry Dawn! The same is wished for you.
DeleteHappy New Year Kay and I hope you're not too cold down there! Be grateful you're not here where the high tomorrow will be 8de...brrr! The movie sounds super cool! You do not look like Darth Vader...seriously!
ReplyDeleteI cannot take cold weather, I am hoping it will warm up soon!
DeleteAnd you are right, most days I look worse than Darth Vader. LOL.
Just an fyi, Kay. I think your email may have been hacked. I got a suspicious email from your address, and it went to a lot of other people, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me! Looks like I need to take my email off, I guess.
