No, the movie isn't called either of those names.

Saw Man On Wire about Phillipe Petit's highwire walk between the WTC towers. He's quite a character.

I don't know when I'll buy a blu-ray player but I think this is great. I hope they do it from here on. It isn't that much more to buy it when they come out, well, not too much more and you get both types.

I want to see Appaloosa, too.

I just saw Ashes of Time Redux with our mousepod. What an excellent film! I can see why he loves this film. If you get a chance and can find it near you, I recommend seeing it. It's wonderful.

Comments?

I need another gaming system in my house like I need a hole in my head but I'm thinking about getting the Playstation 3 since (for about the same price as a stand alone player) it is also a blu ray disc player (as well as CD and DVD).

I like the fact that when you upgrade to a blu ray player, your DVDs remain compatible. That makes the price tag somewhat easier to swallow IMO.

We saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno over the weekend.

Solid Kevin Smith movie. Funny funny stuff. It's overall not as graphic as their battle to stave off an NC-17 rating would have you believe. Though there's one scene...

There was one sour note, the fault of the audience, not the film. It won't give too much away to say there is a scene with a male-on-male gay kiss. It was an entirely non-graphic kiss, a simple peck between a gay couple in the story. And yet the homophobe audience groaned with disgust. Made me ill.

Making this one particularly fun to watch is the fact that I've become a regular listener of Smith's podcast. I know a frightening amount about Smith, his likes, dislikes, and insecurities and recognized a lot of it on screen.

Oh, I wish I'd known that before the Silverlake March flowed past the Vista Theater showing that film.

I don't know why, but I do.

We saw Changeling recently. It's not the world's best film, but the story was fascinating. Horror movies don't generally frighten me, but things that can - and do - actually happen can terrify me. One element of the story in particularly gave me chills.
