Cast Q and A Away

(All previous Q and A can be found here. Well, the ones I’ve done anyway.  There is a whole slew of Q and A out there that is completely unrelated to me.)

Continuing on from last week, focusing on just one film, we are going to do that again this week.  Mostly because I’m lazy and want to save myself the 30 seconds or so it would take to type up the name of the ten different films I might otherwise include… 30 seconds I have already wasted typing this up…  Hmm…  Oh well.

As you may have noticed, I’ve incorporated a “small amount” of movie dialogue into my day-to-day lingo.  Today we are going to see what I’ve learned and used from “Cast Away.”

I’m sure you all noticed, because you are the best readers out there, but every quote was Tom Hank’s character.  If you’ve seen the movie, you know why.  If you haven’t seen the movie, well, you can still probably guess why.  Here there be deserted islands, plane crashes, loneliness, despair, hope, perhaps hope more than than the rest, and monsters of the volleyball brain eating variety.  Thanks for playing along.
