Re #314: Bluth also did a pretty decent PC adventure game a few
years back. Wish I could remember the name of it.

Since Tim has been away, this weekend was chick/foreign/any movie that
Tim won't watch weekend:
In the Bedroom - Ok. kinda boring, but I didn't hate it. The
performances were good the but story dragged a bit.
About a Boy - I loved this a movie. A little slow at times, but I
really liked it. Probably my favorite Hugh Grant role. I do get
tired of his roles being much the same, though.
Igby Goes down - Ok. It was a little cliche, but ok.
Y Tu Mama Tambien - This was an interesting little movie with lots of
sex in it. Not rated.
The Banger Sisters - This was a fun movie. I liked Geoffry Rush in it
a lot.
Bowling for Columbine - I loved this movie. It's interesting being
both from Michigan and living in Colorado, since most of the movie is
centered around the two states.
Daughter from Danang - Documentary about "Operation Baby Lift" back
during the Vietnam war where they took 2000 vietnam kids and adopted
them out to American Parents. One child who came to the US when she
was 7 was adopted to a single mom in a very small town in Tenessee.
22 years later, they reunited her with her birthmom in Vietnam and
took her there. It was a very interesting how the cultural
differences were portrayed in this movie. Pretty good.

I saw Daredevil this afternoon. I liked it. There's something about
movies based on comic books. They can't possibly be expected to be
realistic, and so I can dismiss that part of the movie, and just have
fun watching.

Went to the movies last night with my brother and his wife. They have a
two year old at home and had limited time away from the house (her parents
were babysitting) and the only interesting-looking movie showing when we
got to the multiplex was "The Hunted".
Until they do an MST3K version, I'd recommend avoiding it unless you enjoy
seeing Tommy Lee Jones outrun trains or don't find it overly implausible
that a fleeing fugitive would stop running long enough to forge his own
weapon from found scrap iron. I'd describe the movie as having the Grand
Canyon of plot holes but, well, there's only *one* Grand Canyon.
Heartily disrecommended, unless you and a group of friends are looking for
something to make fun of..

The East Lansing / MSU film festival this week (Wed - Sat) will feature a
guest appearance by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, etc.) and his very recent movie
where he stars as a still-alive Elvis Presley.

Saw Daredevil with Julie myself late this afternoon myself. We were
not disappointed. In retrospect, it wasn't quite as thrilling as the
Spidey flick, but it was still very, very good. We noted that the
reporter was the same actor that played Cipher in Matrix, and thought
that Kingpin was well cast. I also thought Jennifer Garner made a
smart career move with the role as Elektra.. not a stretch from her
Alias job, but might get her considered for romantic roles perhaps in
the future. I somehow missed, though, that Stan Lee had a cameo (I
think I remember it now.. it was when Matt and Elektra were crossing
the street and Matt noticed the car.)
resp:316 Again, I must trust my memory.. that's right, "cel
animation."
resp:317 PC adventure? I was aware he had his laser disc games
packaged together-- those being Space Ace, Dragon's Lair, and Dragon's
Lair 2. The video games came out in the mid-80s and Bluth was quoted
as saying that they were very expensive to produce at the time. It
was pretty cool for back then, though, although I remember my father's
non-plussed response when I babbled wildly about how neat they
were: "Yes, I know all about it; he's my cousin."

cel (sel), n: a transparent celluloid sheet on which a
character, scene, etc. is drawn or painted and which
contributes one frame in the filming of an amalgamated
cartoon; may be overlapped for change of background or
foreground. Also, <b>cell.</b> [by shortening of celluloid]
I love unabridged dictionaries.

Superior? Before, it was something I suspected; now, it's
something we all know. If anything, I've lost some "superiority"...
but I've gained karma, and we're all a bit richer.
