I saw Underworld: Evolution today. I do think it is better than the first one -- well faster paced. Possibly because there is less need for exposition.
Trailers: I saw the movie at an AMC theatre so we got their "Movie First" thing in addition to the regular trailers. There was a piece on "The Sentinal" starring Kiefer Sutherland, Michael Douglas and Eva Longoria as Security Agents. Disregarding the whole issue of how Michael Douglas is far too old to be a field agent, the minute you put KS in an earpiece, give him a gun and dialogue about danger to the POTUS and I go to a "24" place. My friend also went to a "24" place -- and she doesn't even WATCH "24".
Then, the Ultraviolet trailer - the outfits, the fighting? All took me to an "Alias" place.
The "Slither" trailer made me laugh and "Brick" looked intriguing.
I saw Good Night and Good Luck and Something New this afternoon. The former was exceedingly well done (I think it may be the best cinematography I've seen this year, and Straitharn was amazing as Murrow). The latter was surprisingly sweet, and turned out to be the more enjoyable movie of the two IMHO. Also, Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker together? Blazing hot.

Oh, absolutely on both counts. I love that movie with an unholy passion. One of these days, I'm going to treat myself to watching it as a double-feature with "The Manchurian Candidate." I think they'd play well together.
Hey, Selene wore a corset while fightin'.
That's why "intrigue
and corset." Fightin' is allowed for intrigue
or corset. (PHIL 140 SPRING '99 REPRESENT)
I saw
Nanny McPhee
today. Charming and funny--and Colin Firth was adorable and not stuck with doing his usual broody stuff. I love Emma Thompson and found her wonderful as usual. Her script had a lot of broad humor that got the 8 and 3 year old I was with in gales of laughter and also a lot of sly asides that only the adults enjoyed.
fightin' Buffistas and intrigue-and-corset Buffistas.
Fightin' is allowed for intrigue or corset.
How? It seems by the hyphenation that you have (fighting) and (intrigue and corset)--the addition of Buffistas to both clauses seems to render it more effectively an or--implying non-intersecting sets.
Yeah, I was fudging the Venn diagrams on purpose--it's possible to have fightin'/intrigue, fightin'/corset, and intrigue/corset without fightin'/intrigue/corset, but that'd be three circles each with parts that don't overlap any of the others, which would invalidate my first statement (only fightin' or intrigue/corset) by creating more than two types.
Holy God, I can actually see my old professor pacing in front of the board like a short, bald caged tiger, drawing up the circles and occasionally digressing in classic Greek.
[In the less strict sense that's common with "there are X kinds of people" statements, you're allowed to have intrigue or corsets with your fightin' as long as you don't have both; it's the fightin' that defines your category.]
Okay, bed now. Realizing where I probably did part of my logic wrong tomorrow.

Robin, if you haven't, you should see My Life So Far, where Firth plays an ecentric inventor and father. A funny, quirky little movie.

Watched The Boondock Saints yesterday. Loved it. That is all....
I haven't watched this yet because it's taking forever to load, but Fight Club trailer as romantic comedy.
