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!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

I got to the most recent Angel: After the Fall last night, and while I was uncertain the direction they were going in, I rather liked where it looks like they are ending up. Still don't like the art, though I think it looked better this issue than it has.

Question re: Angel - does the message at the end mean we're getting another one this month?

There was one I that I thought meant we were getting a three issue detour off the current story (since it's called Day 1, I'm guessing they may be going back to the events right after Not Fade Away), but I'm not sure that's what you are talking about.
