Have you ever watched the film POWDER?




I hadn't watched it for years (the film originally came out in 1995), but have just finished rewatching. It's a pretty cool film about an albino orphaned child that has been locked away from everyday life by his grandparents, but when they both die, he must enter the real world but finds it difficult to be accepted because his appearance and actions are so different to those around him. His 'powers' become apparent as the film progresses and while some are frightened, others are in awe of his abilities. It's kind of beautiful in ways, as we are forced to think about how the way people look affects the way we think about them.


Sean Patrick Flanery played the role of POWDER beautifully and although fairly unrecognisable as Powder, he is quite the spunk in real life. It appears he has accidentally got caught up in a horror film career since but has just announced in the last couple of weeks that he will be joining the cast of THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!! He is on twitter and has his own blog, so if you are a fan, you will be able to stay up to date fairly easily!!!

I remember thinking he was rather lovely in 'Simply Irresistable' with Sarah M.Geller. Must watch that again....
