Oh Lord......!
esoteric schmesoteric, it's about a hobo with a dream to buy a lawn-mower and start his own lawn-mowing business. He saves up enough money but when he's buying his mower a girl is getting harassed by some thugs. Instead of purchasing his lawn mower he buys a shotgun instead and decides to become a vigilante. PLUS it has rutger hauer! What's not to love?
Well, it is nice to see Mr. Hauer moving up to lead roles, after the "low point" of his career in "Blade Runner". This was obviously beneath him, being forced to take on the supporting role of "Roy Batty"! Incidentally, I believe he was even overlooked for an Oscar in that epic film.
If you simply can't get enough of "Hobo with a Shotgun", the IMDB assures me there is a "making of" addition to its film library! The scary part of this movie's cult lore is, the Hauer version is a remake!

They don't look alike! Keira looks much better! In fact, she's who I named my second daughter after - and I don't prefer flat chested skinny women.
The photo of Ms. Knightley Mizzou has posted is from the London premier of, "Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"! A title I find quite ironic in view of the discussion that will now follow. Kiera, in her choice of gown, whether consciously or unconsciously, issues the most glorious public rebuke of breast enhancement surgery to which I have borne witness. Beverly Hills plastic surgeons take note, cast down your silicone fun bags, and if you please, take the rest of the decade or so off.
The photo series from which that shot was taken, was floating around the net, at or near full res, check it out if you can find it.
Keira Knightley is arguably a better actress that Natalie Portman, if only for the fact her screen presence is much more commanding. Check out her in, "King Arthur", with Clive Owen. She more than holds her own. She's also the more sensual, erotic creature of the two women. This despite Portman's effort as the the semi nude, exotic dancer, "Alice", in "Closer.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376541/ In "Closer", an odd turn of parallel destinies manifests itself, with Clive Owen showing up in the film. I saw it, and trust me, this movie is no, "King Arthur".
However, when she volunteers for duty in the Jane Austin novel based, "Pride and Predjudice", that's where I bail. She could almost do that superficial, pretentious garbage naked, and I wouldn't watch it. Although, if anybody knows of a porn version, please link it for me....
