The Prestige (2006)

Hugh Jackman is still a hunk, yes.

And David Bowie as TESLA, in a movie? He even managed to LOOK like the man, let alone act like i've always imagine him as acting.

(all the best actors are named DAVID, i swear they are!! Here's even more proof!)

Fabulous. Worth watching, if only for the history lesson on Tesla. Truly fantastic.
Mood:: 'chipper' chipper

I'd never seen it before, but grew up idolising Tesla, yes.

Brilliant use of David Bowie.

They should make a movie about the feud between Edison and Tesla. The two wrote a series of vitriolic essays back and forth that became known as The War of Currents (which is a perfect title, IMO), but the notion that Edison had goons spying on Tesla made my brain just go all geek-giggly. Going with your "David" theory, I'll just say I watched part of "Click" the other day and Hasselhoff was brill in it. ;)

I read so much about Tesla's history and what a goon Edison himself was, back in the day, that i felt i had practically been there myself and knew Tesla. I used to imagine living in that time, knowing him, what it would have been like, etc.

Edison was a dirty dirty man. And yes, there should be a movie. I'd have premiere tickets, yes.

Teh Hoff? Hee :) I used to have a big fangirl crush when i was 7 on Knight Rider. Boy doesnt that date me, says the girl turning 31 next thursday?

Happy b-day a week early! I first encountered the Mighty Hoff in "Baywatch" as a wee lass (back when it had a plot), and I too thought he was pretty Hoff-stuff. I like him now mostly for the wonderful sense of humor he has about himself (like William Shatner).

Have fun :)

Thanks! I'm planning a nice one, my better half has the day and the day after off, as well as the next Monday as its a bank holiday, and we've got a fabulous allotment and gorgeous weather :D Cant wait!

31 doesnt feel so bad. 30 did, it felt like a huge leap to old-age-hood, but not 31. 31 feels pretty groovy :D

...! Those have got to be some of the most disturbing feats of photoshoppery I have ever seen. *stares in horror at 'Hoff for Pope'...Words fail...

To me, 30 seems like it'd be pretty nice. No longer classed with the "20-somethings" everybody sort of disdains, but still young and hip. That's my dream, anyway! I'll have to wait a few more years and see. Hope you get that gorgeous weather.

30 was more of a "oh god only a decade til i'm 40" kind of thing. 31 feels chic and groovy, aged but yet still cool. Dunno why.

re the Hoff site, i laughed til i nearly cried. Very funny.
