Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[flippyshark]

Script research that can't even manage to get its ass to Wikipedia doesn't deserve to be called research at all. And contrived historical "facts" are really unimpressive when they are simply yanked from the screenwriter's sphincter.

Oh, and ever since The Wicker Man (21st Century "Not The Bees!" edition), I just can't watch Nicholas Cage anymore.

Tonight, I'm taking in Dark Knight and X Files: IW2B at the drive-in, weather permitting. I'm thinking the drive-in ambiance (mosquitoes, screeching kids in pajamas, dogs, horns honking, etc.) may detract from Dark Knight a bit, but may add charm to X Files, at least if the reviews are correct. (I was only a very occasional and casual viewer of the series, so i'm really only in it because its a double feature.)
