Apparently yesterday was the 20th anniversary (!!!) of Speed being released: Still Traveling At 50 MPH 20 Years Later: Why 'Speed' Was The Pinnacle Of '90s Action Movies, and also an interview with Joss Whedon about how he rewrote the script but had the credit taken away from him by the WGA.

You'll have to forgive Ellis. He gets very depressed this time of year. He thought *he* was God's greatest gift, you know?

I rewatched Speed a couple of years ago, and it really holds together as a propulsive, clean-lined action movie that still had characters that didn't feel cardboard. You don't get a lot about the leads' history, but they still have a human feel.

It really does - I bought the DVD a couple years ago to watch it as well. I might have to watch it again this weekend.

I think that The Lake House banked on everyone shipping Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock because of this movie.

[musesfool]

Yay! To both of those items!

Is Last Camel the one where they find Sienna? Whose name might not be that, but definitely begins with S.

I'm also glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like Deeds of the Disturber.

[musesfool]

No, Last Camel is the one where they find Nefret. Sennia is in Falcon at the Portal, which is the one I have such issues with.
