I am So. Frickin. JUICED. About this new movie. <br /><br />Trailer in WMP:<br /><br />http://movies.clevver.com/video/20118/the-astronaut-farmer-trailer.php<br /><br />This is one of those movies I am "genetically predisposed" as someone once said, to love. An American astronaut, played by Thornton, is forced to retire in order to save his family farm, which faces foreclosure. <br /><br />But the lure of the stars is too strong, and before too long, he decides to build his own rocket and fly himself into orbit--using only the resources, tools and manpower immediately available to him. <br /><br />Of course the federal government steps in and tries to stop this inexcusable individualism before it gets off the ground, so to speak--using all means necessary. <br /><br />This movie-- if it is as good as I think it will be-- could prove to be The Movie in 2007 for space-oriented types like myself. More importantly, it could be just the kind of shot in the arm we usually need around late February. <br /><br />I can't think of anyone else but Thornton in this role.<br /><br /><br />http://theastronautfarmermovie.warnerbros.com <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
