What would you do if you were shrinking? How would you rationalize your existence? Would you go on TLC and have your own show?
Back in 1957 a movie was made called The Incredible Shrinking Man. For that period, I have to admit they were innovative with the shooting of the film. From what I understand, a remake of the film starring Eddie Murphy is set to come out in 2010. I hope it captures the same intensity as the original.
I find movies today tend to rely too much on camera effects and technology to drive a film. Script writing, while back in vogue, take a back seat. Too many clinkers come with such films.
Anyway, some of the scenes in the films were disturbingly hilarious. Like him sitting at a table drinking coffee with an oversized cup. Or the scene where he narrowly escapes the attack of a house cat. After ending up in the basement, the movie ends with him coming to terms with his existence after he kills a spider.
I loved it. I can barely find enough courage to kill a spider as it is. I'm too busy attending to this Incredible Expanding Blog.
If you don't mind...I have to go conquer my fears.
