I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I liked Black Swan. It seemed to be a pretty straightforward character-fights-with-her-dark-side movie, but it was done well. I really loved the scene at the end where Nina grew her wings with every twirl. And then her shadows had wings. It was lovely while still being creepy. I don't understand how no one fucking noticed the bloody wound in her chest for most of the show, though.

I also really dug the subtle visual effects, like when Nina peeks into her mom's room and the eyes on one of paintings moves or when Lily's tattoo starts to move and grow during the dreamsex. And I was also very impressed with the switches between Lily and Dark Nina. Sometimes when they switched back, I wasn't sure for a second who I was seeing because they made them look so similar, even though Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman don't look anything alike!

Because books.

I actually have the original here, and I'm going to watch it today.

I am watching Life of Brian and MP and the Holy Grail today. Probably not the best choice for my reawakened vertigo, but I gave my nephew Monty Python Fluxx for Christmas and it made me want to rewatch both (and the series, but I don't have that on DVD). If you're a fan, I highly recommend the game.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I second the MP Fluxx recommendation. It's a good game anyway, and the Python makes it even better.

Is the current Narnia movie worth seeing in 3D?

I didn't think it was really worth seeing in 3D, Steph. In fact, I heard repeatedly that it's nicer in 2D because the picture is brighter and prettier.
