    Boring? Watch the hiker tell his story... it makes me cringe. Boyle will make this anything but boring. #dannyboyle

    @Anrkist: NO KIDDING. A man makes one of the most agonizing decisions possible, then spends more than a day hacking his way through his own fucking flesh and BONE with a dull Swiss Army knife. Stomach-turning, yes, but I fail to see what's so boring about it. #dannyboyle

    The best-known quote from the book that Boyle optioned is, "Geologic time includes now," which every review will include if the movie isn't good. That said, I'm dying to see it, even if Celine Dion isn't on the soundtrack.

    As a germaphobe I really wish someone would make Hands Down. I needn't point out how many times a day I watch people sneeze without putting their nose in the crook of their arm-- the only truly proper way to sneeze in public. #dannyboyle

    @pony_express: The old-school, propermost way to sneeze is in one's handkerchief. Which you then delicately fold and deposit back in your pocket. That way you keep your germs to yourself. Since handkerchiefs are extinct nowadays, tissue packs constitute the best substitute. I've just babysat my neighbor's 6-year-old kiddo, who had a cold, and had to teach him to both sneeze and blow his nose correctly. Manners are going the way of the Dodo bird.. #dannyboyle

    @snugbug: I am glad their are still good neighbors out there who take the time to teach the children...
    and absolutely, the hankie would be my first choice. Most people, however, do not come prepared with hankies or those nice little kleenex packs (except for my mother who stocks them with a vigilance). I oft will be walking past the open food bins at a Whole Paycheck when, much to my dismay, some [redacted] sneezes all over the barrel of oatmeal-by-the-pound. In that moment he/she did not have time to reach for the hankie they presumably did not have, but he/she could have turned their head put his/her nose in the crook of the arm. CROOK OF THE ARM PEOPLE. See, in this manner, the money, door handles, etc. that are touched post-sneeze won't distribute more germs.

    Sorry to get screamy, but we are in an epidemic here. #dannyboyle

    Damn you, Lawson, you made the Alphie one Too Good. Hope you enjoy writing 27 drafts of this script, for $5 million dollars, until it's finally taken from you altogether and re-imagined by Alphie himself.
