It is a very pretty movie, indeed.

Funny, but not as good as Dork Tower. That one's gonna be hard to top.

Finally got around to seeing this (took the kids tonight) and... it's good. It's not the best movie I've seen this year, but it is definitely one of the most amazing ones to look at this year. Kerry Conran and his team have so completely nailed the look and feel of a 30s style serial, and it gives you that giddy feeling you got when watching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time. To those who were concerned that this would look colourised, I can tell you that the overall effect is more of old-fashioned colour tinting done by hand; there seems to be a real artistry to how the colour was done rather than the guesswork that dominates the colourisation process.

On the down side, Gwyneth seems slightly miscast. In a role that is supposed to be brassy and gutsy, she often comes off as whiny, but this is a small quibble in an otherwise solid film. ***1/2 out of *****

Update: apart from getting their R (they had to excise segments of the 3 & 1/2 minute sex scene, as well as part of a scene where Kim Jong-Il feeds Hans Blix to his shark tank), the sneak of Team America ran this weekend. What can I tell you about it? From what I've seen, Parker & Stone are back in fine form; the character of the actor is appearing in 'Lease: The Musical' when he is recruited by Team America, and the typical shenanigans ensue. No target is safe, either left or right.

Even those misfires couldn't tarnish the original.

Actually, given that a single layer Blu-Ray will fit 50GB, a 4-layer would be something on the order of ~160GB. Dizzying.

I seriously doubt he could have done a worse job than Bush; now, before you jump all over me, note that I didn't say he could do a better job. I said they were about equal.

There are some historical reasons why Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October. I'll come back and post them when I have something more concrete.

How many discs it will be is debatable; Sony has just announced a prototype of an 8-layer Blu-Ray disc, and believes that 4-layer ones will be commmercially viable. The mind reels....

We's doing ham for Thanksgiving, but on a side note, whenever I think of turkey day, I recall the big production number from Addams Family Values and crack a big ol' grin.

Silent w/ Lon Chaney Sr. is hard to top; the Claude Rains version is pretty good, though.

No, but you idolise individuals who objectify women, even if those individuals are meant as an ironic comment on society (like Al Bundy).
