It’s safe to say Devin and are beyond exhausted, and as I write this, we’re minutes away from covering the red carpet for THE RUNAWAYS, which I’m sure will be a madhouse. But we wanted to take in one last film today, and that film was RICHARD GARRIOTT: MAN ON A MISSION. The story follows video game developer and philanthropist Richard Garriott, who has already travled across the world and done more exciting things than you or I could ever hope to, following in the footsteps of his astornaut father Owen Garriott, and going into space on a Russian rocket. Sure, you could call it an exorbinent example or vanity expense, but truth be told if we had the money to do it, chances are we’d do the same.
