Hey Barry and Sherry, any interest in seeing this? I think we've all read the book.
Barry: Paranoia It should be quite entertaining, and the cast is quite strong: stars Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, Lucas Till, Amber Heard, Embeth Davidtz, Julian McMahon, Josh Holloway and Richard Dreyfus. I heard it didn't fare well at the box office so far or at least in the first weekend. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/08/18...
I read it years ago and liked Adam Cassidy from the start but was afraid to get too attached as it became clear he was going to have to do some pretty unsavory things in the name of corporate espionage in order to keep himself out of jail. The changing nature of his situation really got to me - this was a fast moving novel, even as the tense situations made me very jumpy as I read.
I want to see it too.Harrison Ford is on it.

Definitely worth it! I am 18 hours 26 minutes away to drive to Boston! (that could be worth it too, but I would be late to the movie) Carol/Bonadie wrote: "Well, I confess there is travelling involved when the three of us get together. We're about 2 hours apart. But it is well worth it! "
...Only if you promise to behave. Behave how?
Well, we could meet at Sherry's house in CT and cut a couple of hours off the trip, Ann!Ann wrote: "Definitely worth it! I am 18 hours 26 minutes away to drive to Boston! (that could be worth it too, but I would be late to the movie)

18:26, good to know, I have a motorcycle meet near Nashville I'd like to try to do next summer. Ambitious trip though, so I'm thinking 50/50 it will happen.
Sounds like quite a ride! Then maybe we can meet for a movie in Nashville! Sidecar, Carol? Sherry? ;)
