Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Ghoulish Delight]

We also watch Burn After Reading last night.

Meh. It was clever, and I got a little more onboard after the mid-movie debriefing scene, that helped. But the characters, while on some level were fun and well performed, were all pretty flat, too one-dimensional. It helped if I tried to think of it like we were watching a novel written by someone like Malkovich's character, but even in that context it just doesn't have enough to make it more than a little amusing.
