I wanna see SpongeBob so bad my friends say its very funny! I hear theres a twisted sister song in there??
I don't think it's a matter of getting it or not. I think it's a matter of whether or not you're a fucking moron. D+ at best from me... I didn't think it was original at all. Between Wet Hot American Summer and the last 10 years of SNL, all the jokes have already been done.demon said:Oh and I just watched Napolean Dynamite again...A++, such a brilliant, original, hilarious comedy. I guess some 'get it' and some don't.

Caught up with Sky Captain, Collateral, extended Return of the King on DVD.
I didn't expect much of Sky and had some fun with it, but I just couldn't take Jude Law seriously posing as the tough guy hero. Even Gwyneth looked like she could kick his ass.
As for RotK, maybe it was the extended cut (haven't seen the theatrical) but I became tired of seeing what seemed to be one lingering weepy hobbit scene after another. When the battles got rolling it made up for it...mostly.
Collateral was excellent overall, I can't reasonably point to anything to really take issue with, from cinematography to acting. Still, I ultimately wasn't as bowled over as I expected to be based on at-times rapturous reviews.

The last films I've seen are:
- The Saragossa Manuscript
A Polish film from the 60s, directed by Wojciech Has. Based on the novel by Jan Potocki, and almost as surreal and confusing as the book. Jerry Garcia and Coppola loved the movie, and financed its restoration and dvd-release. It's basically a story about people who meet other people, and then they all tell their stories to each other, one story crazier than the next. All the stories intertwine too on many levels, so it's incredibly difficult to keep track of what is really happening. Lasts for three hours too, but it's fun, interesting and challenging. The book is even better, though.
- The Bourne Identity
This surprised me. Very exciting and action-packed thriller. Enjoyable all the way through, and much better than most other recent Hollywood action-flicks I've seen.
- Dirty, Pretty Things
A somewhat disturbing movie about London's seedy underbelly. Unusually well acted, with a brilliant Chiwetel Ejiofor and a similarly great Audrey Tatou in the lead roles. This is not the Audrey Tatou you saw in Amelie, that's for sure!
I'll see Big Fish tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it!

I agree thomaser, Saragossa Manuscript was awesome. Especially the second half where the stories interlock in endlessly clever ways.
I recently saw To Have and Have Not for the first time, classic 1944 Bogart and Bacall (their first pairing). Such a good, light-hearted film noir-esque adventure that I'm temped to say it was more enjoyable than Casablanca. Maybe not a great film, but more fun to watch. Best I've ever seen Bacall, and she was only 19!

The Battleship Potemkin (1925) - Sergei Eisenstein
Heh, this film is awesome. Gotta love the hardcore pro-communist propaganda that fills the film, and I particularly love how the anti-religious themes are worked in. The crazy Moses-esque priest is just classic.
I'm in the middle of watching Metropolis (2001). Watched half of it last night and fell asleep I'll finish it today.
