Cattle mutilations are up.

The sad thing about all of Mother's quotes is that I think Aykroyd actually believes a lot of them.

Love that it was a spiritual sequel to Wargames, and loved the theory that Brad Pitt’s character (Tom Bishop) in Spy Game was Redford’s character (Martin Bishop) in this movie.

Apparently you can draw a lot of connections between his character in this movie and his character in Three Days of the Condor

The script was a little cliche, but what a phenomenal cast.  And didn't really fit with the times technologically, but now all these years later-very prescient.  

csb/ Stephen Tobolowsky brought his book to the Texas Book Festival (about 10-12 years ago).  And we're having an author's reception for him and about 20 other authors.  And every other person comes up and shouts "Ned Reyerson" and he's trying to be gracious but you can tell he's annoyed as fuck (like you guys are with me).  To try and deflect, I introduce him to some donor as, "This is Mister Werner Brandeis."  And Stephen cracks up, and we insists we head to the bar and had a buncha laughs.  Didn't realize he was from Dallas.  He and I are about the same size, 6'1" 210#, but he had a very genteel way about him. 

Talked a little bit about "Sneakers" and said that most of the big name cast members kept to themselves between shoots.  But that David Straithairn, Whistler, was a really fun hang and hilarious.  It was all I could do to not ask  him about his time on Seinfeld and wanted to give him some space.  But he really seemed to have loved being on that set of "Sneakers" /csb

All but one or two of of the main characters were Academy Award winners or nominees, or Emmy winners or nominees.  It was an amazing cast.
