Hey, I could re-direct you...to your own post! Is that a first?

Anyway, nice to see Nic Cage returning to crap. Adaptation seems like it was just a dream now....

i just saw the tv spot for this and normally i would think that its a piece of sh*t but it reminds of the old school treasure hunting films or tv shows...like the goonies et al.

ooh this guy also directed Three Ninja.  I remember renting both Three Ninja and Cool Running for my 13th birthday party.  I didn't even know I was in fact holding world's first Jon Turteltaub retrospective.

FYI, Pete's 13th Birthday Party was last week. I was there, and he didn't even have cake. What the hell man? On top of that, after watching Cool Runnings all his shitty friends thought they were cool when they attempted to speak with a Jamaican accent.  


Not fun.
