Watched the first two parts of Fanny and Alexander, the mini-series version. I always thought the film was a bit slow to start, since the first 90 minutes are really nothing more than a Christmas dinner that does little or nothing to advance the plot. However, this film is about characters, and when you re-watch the film, the first part gets better and better each time as you start getting more familiar with various quirks of the cast. And you get a peak of Pernilla August's breasts, which has always been weird to me since I so strongly associate her with Phantom Menace. The final parts really pick up the pace with surprising speed, looking forward to finishing this tonight.

Also watched Prometheus for the third time on the weekend. Another film that gets better each time you watch it. Despite looking like Alien, the film plays out more like a spiritual successor to Blade Runner. Like that film, I believe history will be way kinder to it than the mixed audience reaction of today.

Tempted to go see Amazing Spider Man. Loved the Raimi films, been reading the comics for over twenty years, but something about the film has been rubbing me a bit wrong. Probably just save my money for Dark Knight Rises.
