SEND THE FREAKIN TEXT MESSAGE ALREADY BARACK OBAMA!!!!

and don't you dare call this off topic because this will affect all of us

I got to see Transsiberian at SIFF, and I highly recommend it.

Yeah, the plot pushes plausibility in an effort to get the characters into dire situations, but what do you expect from a thriller, even a serious thriller? It does thrill and it's a real escape.

Oh, and the cast:

Emily Mortimer is just one big-time movie star. There's just an intimacy about her on the screen--here even more than in Match Point. Dear Hollywood, please, more films starring Emily Mortimer.

And yes, Ben Kingsley... Awesome. Of course.
