Should I or shouldn't I?

I haven't been in a movie theatre since the last Woody Allen. I must say, though, that I'm tempted by (of all things) Domino:



It's the type of thing that normally I'd stay miles away from, but I read an article about the flick and it's got three things going for it in my books:

1) Keira Knightley. drool

2) A cameo from Tom Waits.

3) An actor from Beverly Hills 90210 plays himself and engages in the following bit of dialogue with a "fan":

GIRL: Omigod! My friend Gina thought you were dead.

GUY: Tell your friend Gina she's a whore.

falloff


Anyone heard anything about this flick?

I thought you were saying that Rourke now looks like Tom Waits. It's true nod

he was great in 'dracula' and 'short cuts' - sounds like a good enough reason to go to me. go to a matinee and see it for cheap(er).

I don't care about the dough, I just have a hard time supporting Hollywood dreck. Would that mean less money counted towards the box-office receipts? biggrin

I hear it's good - AND... it's based on Laurence Harvey's daughter's real life... which I read an expose about - very compelling.
