Hello everyone! I finally decided to join the forum after lurking for a while. May I just say that you all seem like such a lovely group, so supportive of one another and of our favorite actor. I'm glad to be here and look forward to chatting with all of you. I posted this one link below in the film section, but I thought I would say a proper hello here as well.
While browsing another thread about whether we enjoyed all of Cillian's films or not, I noticed a comment from someone (sorry, forgot the name!) who felt that one of Cillian's more popular film scripts was "fall down the stairs clumsy." After laughing about that for a minute, I surmised that she must have been referrring to "Red Eye." I felt the same way about the final third of that movie, although I loved the initial two thirds. I think director Wes Craven actually admitted on the DVD that they were making things up as they went along during the scenes in Lisa's house, and that's exactly the way it played onscreen.
Like the person who posted that response, I had a feeling that the script that was filmed was probably not the script that Cillian and Rachel signed on to do. In fact, I felt so strongly about it that I searched online and actually FOUND a copy of the original "Red Eye" script! Someone bought it on ebay and then very generously typed it all out on her blog.
It's a quick read, and a much different story than the one that was filmed. A far better story, IMO. Here is the link if you would like to read it:

I also found a darling fangirl's blog about meeting Cillian during the London premiere of Inception. He actually HUGGED HER, and her blog description is just so infectiously and deliriously happy. She could be his sister, her eyes look startlingly similar to Cillian's:

Anyway, great to meet you all and thank you for this wonderful forum.
