This Is My Favorite Quotation From Napoleon, And It’s Been Very Popular On The Ole Blog. I’ve Had A Couple People Mention It To Me Recently, So I Figured Why Not Give It Its Due With A Loving Reblog!
Thank You For ALL Of YOUR Continued SUPPORT, My Peeps!!!

(ALMOST) Random (MIDNIGHT) Movie Mention: “UNKNOWN” (2011)
“UNKNOWN“
…Stars MY MAIN MAN Himself…
LIAM NEESON
😀 😀 😀
…And Stars…
AIDAN QUINN
JANUARY JONES
DIANE KRUGER
&
FRANK “Skeletor“ LANGELLA
😀 😀
It’s Also Produced By “Mr. UBER PRODUCER“…
JOEL SILVER
😀
Alright, My Peeps…
…Check-It-Out…
LIAM NEESON
Is
“Dr. MARTIN HARRIS“
…He Thinks?
But, Is He Really?
Well…
…We Really DON’T KNOW.
((wink wink))
You See, Shortly Into The Flick, He’s In A Car Crash.
He Hit His Head Hard.
He’s Now In The Hospital.
And, He’s Just Awakened From A Four (4) Day Coma.
He’s In Berlin.
He Doesn’t Speak German.
He Has No Official Identification.
He Might Know Some People, But We’re Not Really Sure.
He Just Remembers That He’s “Dr. MARTIN HARRIS“ And That His Wife ((played by JANUARY JONES)) Doesn’t Know Where He Is, Nor What Has Happened.
He Then Remembers She Should Be At The Hotel They Were Originally Going To Stay In, And He’s Got To Go Find Her.
BUT…
…When He Does Get To The Hotel, And He Does Find His Supposed Wife…
…SHE DOESN’T CLAIM TO KNOW HIM AT ALL.
And Now Another Man ((played by AIDAN QUINN)) Shows-Up And Says That HE’s Actually “Dr. MARTIN HARRIS“!!!
W.T.F.
?!?!?!?!?!?
And NOW The Flick Really REALLY Begins!!!
😀 😀 😀 😀
“UNKNOWN“
…Is Really A MUCH BETTER Flick Than A Lot Of Folks May Have Told You.
It Just Had The Bad Luck Of Coming Out After LIAM NEESON‘s Surprise Mega-Hit-Flick…
“TAKEN“
😦
“UNKNOWN“
…Is Fun.
It’s Exciting.
It’s Suspenseful.
It’s Clever.
It Was Good Enough For Me To Wanna Buy It, My Peeps.
I’d Say That’s PLENTY Good.
😉
Some People Told Me “UNKNOWN” Was Slow In Too Many Places, Which Ultimately Hurt The Overall Presentation.
To Those People, I Simply Say…
“YOU‘RE IMPATIENT!”
Dammit.
I Thought This Was A Classically Paced Thriller.
I Could EASILY See ALFRED HITCHCOCK Directing Something Like This.
HITCHCOCK Loved The Whole Idea Of The “MISTAKEN IDENTITY“ Caper.
I Think He Would Have Relished In Directing This Flick.
Or, At Least, A Flick Like It.
I’m NOT Saying “UNKNOWN” Is The Greatest Flick Ever, My Peeps.
I AM Saying “UNKNOWN” Is A Lot Better Than You May Realize.
It’s Also Got MORE DEPTH And A THICKER PLOT Than People Gave It Credit For.
It’s Got MORE DEPTH And A THICKER PLOT Than “TAKEN” Had.
And That Is A FACT.
Period Period.
If You Haven’t Seen “UNKNOWN” Yet, Give It A Go, Kids.
If You’ve Seen It Once, And Didn’t Bother Going Another Round…
…Please…
…Do Yourself The Favor Of Checking-It-Out AGAIN.
It’ll Only Cost You 113-Minutes Of Your Life.
A Drop In The Bucket, Ya Know?!
