Thanks. I keep lurking in the comments for anything on the merits of the film. I get dunking on Hollywood and its stars but, you know, some actual good stuff gets made from time to time.

    If you haven't seen "Digger" I really do recommend it.

    It's frustrating to see so many comments about films having people begging for something new and original, and then when that happens everyone just shits on Hollywood and actors.

    The film may be a box office flop because it took a risk. The budget is too big and it's not a "Top Gun" type film is that going to rake in millions of dollars. I like those type of films, and if you expected "Digger" to be one... Fair enough, you might not enjoy the film.

    But if you give the film a little freedom and a chance, you'll get an interesting story. Also it's hilarious and the film knows it.
