You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was buying a couple of Jhonen Vasquez books and the clerk talked me into Ubu Bubu. I enjoy it although it's very JTHM derivative.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This is from last year. Did we know this?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And Titus Andronicus, and Salma Hayek's Frida Kahlo biopic. Her work is always, always visually stunning. Not always perfect all the way around (though often pretty good), but I've never seen anything of hers that didn't look absolutely dazzling. And the visual worlds she creates are not just rich and detailed, they're all very, very different from one another.
Matt, dude, you're the biggest Visual Artistry Slut I know! If you haven't already, you've got to see some of her work!

I was a little disappointed by her recent flick, Across the Universe. But I understand there was a lot of studio meddling and I think I got tired of The Beatles after the first hour.

I almost got to see The Lion King when it came to Memphis, but family stuff interfered. I still intend to rent Across the Universe someday soon.
(I'd rent Frida, but the worst bookmap and permissions snafus in 2004's Project from Hell were on a chapter on Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and I have a conditioned aversion.)

Rent TITUS. Such a fascinating Shakespeare mashup. The play is one of his lessers, but as Ebert accurately described it, it was Shakespeare's equivalent of an exploitation movie. Taymor didn't exactly film it that way, but it's certainly not boring.

Titus killed me. Especially Laura Fraser's performance as I had already fallen in love with her as Kate the farrier in A Knight's Tale.
