Movie

With traveling to Korea comes movies on the airplane... I chose to watch movies that I would never pay for:

National Treasure 1 & 2: well, it was entertaining. That's about it. Nic Cage was actually kind of convincing. Amazing up and down career he has had so far! Recommended if you have a lot of free time in your hands AND if you want to learn a little bit of trivial history AND if you like to see some PG-13 action and explosions.

Rambo: not that I remember anything from Rambo 1 to 3... but this one was quite atrocious. I did, however, enjoy the awkward conversations between Rambo and the missionaries...

Rambo: Leave.
Missionary: Do you have a purpose in life?
Rambo: Leave.
Missionary: But you must have a purpose in life!
Rambo: Leave.
Missionary: But the purpose in life is the most important purpose in life!
Rambo: Leave.

(Note: I made up the last two lines)

Or the all important "do you want to die for nothing or die for something" dialog... (Jack Bauer, how I missed you in Korea!)

Think Saving Private Ryan... except that you reply the first 10 minutes of the movie over and over and over for 2 hours. It's great. Trust me. Not recommended unless you like to see blood splattering and limbs flying everywhere.

Cool pics - love the soft fog one of the gate.

Looks like the consulting life is giving you plenty of time to travel the globe. Damn you.
