Manuel here starting off the year with a lot of questions. They are in reaction to this upcoming film titled Blind. It stars, as you'll see in the poster below, Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore. Who knew that people were clamoring for a reteaming of the stars of The Juror (aka the film that, alongside Striptease earned Ms. Moore a Razzie Award way back she was an undisputed movie star whose flops encouraged scorn and snickering all around Hollywood).

I ran across the poster and had to look up the film's synopsis. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint...

A novelist blinded in a car crash which killed his wife rediscovers his passion for both life and writing when he embarks on an affair with the neglected wife of an indicted businessman.

The sun-dappled glow of the poster should have clued us into the sappiness of the film at hand but boy did I not expect it to sound so cloying—surprised the tagline wasn't something like "Love...he didn't see it coming." A more detailed summary lets us know Demi's husband eventually gets out of jail and, gasp, "she is forced to choose between the man she loves and the man she built a life with."

The poster kept reminding of another one in particular, perhaps a mashup of It's Complicated and Julie & Julia???
