AD ASTRA

a mini review

Ever since Keir Dullea donned the space helmet Hollywood is capitalizing on similar adventures beyond Star Trek, Lost in Space, Star Wars...

Put "Donald Sutherland Space Cowboys Helmet" into Google Images  - (Space Cowboys, a film from 2000 ) - and you get Brad Pitt in this new movie, Ad Astra.   Reuniting Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland from Space Cowboys for this odd solitary The Martian prequel/sequel/remake/inspired by is a good marketing ploy. You look for Sutherland and you get Brad Pitt.

    Matt Damon, Sandra Bullock, Tommy Lee and Donald, space helmets, space helmets, space helmets.  Can anyone in Hollywood come up with an original thought?

    Donald Sutherland now plays Colonel Pruitt, which is Pitt with an RU stuck in it.  Sutherland becomes Pitt's surrogate father as Major Roy McBride (Pitt) seeks his real dad, Tommy Lee Jones.  Tommy wants to blow up a few universes with anti-matter, as close to Star Trek as you'll get.  Liv Tyler, Eve McBride, dumps Brad (haven't they all?) or he dumps her, he hasn't figured that out yet, and spends half the movie pondering - heck, if you had Bebe Buell as a mother-in-law (Liv Tyler's real mom) you'd want to run to Neptune too (Toto Too)...and you'd do as I did the last time Bebe dialed my digits to wake me up at 7 AM one morning..."Bebe, go F yourself, I'm sleeping."  BANG!   She called up Jimmy Miller and gave him an earful complaining about me (join the club!)  

    Mr. Jimmy found it hilarious.   Darling Bebe wanted us to drop Jo Jo Laine from our record label.  HAH, fat chance of that happening, Bebe, love!

AS CLOSE TO STAR TREK AS YOU'LL GET: NOT!    And speaking of getting, Pitt gets as daddy a complex as a sitting Medford city councilor over his mother...but let's not go there just yet...we still have 50 plus days to the election...
