CASSANDRA'S DREAM (COLIN FARRELL, EWAN "SHOULD BE 'IAN'" MCGREGOR, SLUTES, PILLS, MURDER, AND A BOAT NAMED CASSANDRA'S DREAM;2008)


ISN'T ACTING SOOO GREAT? MWHHAHAAHAHA. IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY CASSANDRA WAS THE LOVE INTEREST OF APOLLO. WHOM I RESEMBLE. IN ORDER TO GET CASSANDRA TO GAG ON HIS SUNBEAM APOLLO GIVES CASSANDRA THE GIFT OF PROPHECY. THE MODERN EQUIVALENT OF WHICH IS STRONG HALLUCINOGENS. "DAS RIGHT BABY, WE GOING TO THA STARS." ANYWAY, WHEN CASSANDRA STILL DOESN'T EXPRESS INTEREST IN THE SUN GOD, HE PUTS A CURSE ON HER. THE CURSE IS THAT NOBODY WILL EVER BELIEVE CASSANDRAS'S PROPHECIES THOUGH THEY BE TRUE. SO FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE SHE WALKS AROUND GREECE BABBLING ABOUT TROJAN HORSES AND WARS COMING AND GLORY HOLES DOWNTOWN AND THE LIKE. BASICALLY SHE BECOMES SHARON STONE. THE POINT OF THIS HISTORY LESSON IS THAT CASSANDRA'S DREAM IS NOT A GOOD NAME FOR A BOAT. YET LEAVE IT TO 2 DRUNK IRISH ACTORS TO NAME THEIR SAILBOAT AFTER A CURSED GREEK PRUDE. SURE ENOUGH, AFTER OUR TWO STARS, WHO ARE BROTHERS, NAME THEIR NEW BOAT THEIR LIVES FALL TO SHIT. IN THIS MOVIE FARRELL PLAYS A DEGENERATE GAMBLER / PILL POPPING DRUNK. BASICALLY HIMSELF BUT POOR. MCGREGOR IS JUST HAPPY TO BE WORKING. WHEN THEIR FINANCIAL STRAITS BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FARELL FALLS INTO DEBT WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE, THE 2 BROTHERS TURN TO THEIR RICH UNCLE FOR QUICK CASH. HOWEVER, HE ASKS FOR A FAVOR IN RETURN. A FAVOR WHICH SHATTERS EACH BROTHER'S MORAL COMPASS AND REDEFINES THEIR BONDS TO FAMILY, MONEY, AND WOMEN. TMJ GIVES WOODY ALLEN'S LATEST 15 STARS AND A CUPCAKE WITH A TRICK CANDLE.
