I went to see the movie Blood Diamond tonight. I had heard a lot about the diamond industry and the monopoly and the so-called "blood diamonds", but it was still pretty intense to see onscreen. I thought it was a great movie, and it further supports the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio really is a great actor.

One thing of note: the reporter in this movie uses a ThinkPad Butterfly as her laptop. The movie was set in 1999.

Awesomeness Incarnate.

I still use my 701c Butterfly Thinkpad, so I am not suprised that the reporter would use one, especially in 1999.

The only thing I took away from seeing the trailer a dozen times is that his DiCaprio's accent sounds forced/fake...am I right? Maybe it's different once you get used to it.

I thought he nailed it Dan. I know a lot of folks from SA (we have some in the family) and if you forget that it's Leonardo speaking he sounds quite legitimate.

We're always on opposite sides of the coin!

I'll wait for video.
