It actually amuses me that PG was yet again talking to dead people. I found Geoffrey in the first two seasons to be a great role all on it's own, without feeling like it was an anti-Frasier statement (and I'm not saying that his role in Men with Brooms was, just that's what it felt like when watching it).
Will definitely check out Wilby Wonderful. I so want to see Snow Cake, but I don't see it coming my way anytime soon.
I also wanted to ask, after having been left feeling Nothing, Nothing at all, after seeing PotC2, whether I should check out the third installment, because my completist urge isn't there, but if it is actually a fun frolic (unlike 2), I'd like to know.

Snow Cake was really good, and it's out on DVD now.

My sister edited her HS yearbook with Danny McIvor, the guy who wrote and directed this. (He's done a lot of stuff with CKR, McKellar and Molly Parker. They're some kind of Canadian film mafia, all appearing in each other's stuff.)
Huh. I never did see PotC3. I just ... forgot about it. How sad.
forgot about it like Star Wars 3, but without the urge to pirate it and watch it MST3-style when I did remember it. Which I never did cuz I just wasn't that interested in even watching it drunk.
PotC3 was miles better than 2. Personally, I think it was added Barbosa. Geoffrey Rush was enjoying himself so much he practically put Depp in the shade. Offhand, I don't recall any waterwheel or hamster ball nonsense, either.
Just finished the gorgeous Criterion reprint of La Jetee, and seriously, when are you going to spend a better 26 minutes of your life?
I just finished Becoming Jane and The Bourne Ultimatum. why yes, i was feeling a bit contrary tonight. i liked both a lot. the former mostly for the chemistry between Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. the latter because the action scenes were unbelievable.
the fight between Bourne and the asset was incredibly long, but it was also one of the best fight scenes i've ever seen because it seemed real. handheld camera work notwithstanding.
Wow.
War
was atrocious. I have a lot of apologising to do--but it was Jason Statham and Jet Li! I wasn't asking for much. I got way less.
GF and I watched Follow My Voice with the Music of Hedwig last night. It showed some making of the tribute album (Wig In a Box) mixed with some true life stories of teens at the Harvey Milk High School in NY (the money made from the tribute CD went to the institute that runs HMHS). It was really good. I teared up when the kids graduated - I'm a sap like that. My only gripe is that though there was a lot of band footage, there was very little of Sleater-Kinney. No fair! The Breeders continue to rock, of course, and were featured pretty prominently. They also have a special feature piece. If you like Hedwig (which I definitely do), you should see it.
Aww I'm sorry to hear
War
sucked, ita. I guess the two minutes I saw was a rare good part.
