I have a recurring thing (mind I've seen a lot of Sunny and am a big fan) where I ïntroduce it as Always Funny in…  when I talk about it.  Just a mental slip but also apt.

I can see being cynical about this film or not enjoying it, different strokes and all - I think it has more to say than the props it uses for the story - but at least you're not comparing it to Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and you're also explaining your objections coherently and with humour - kudos.

Fantastic write-up - please read from the book of Juanito, sacrelicious

You are completely wrong - as others have said, it's laid out from the first scene.  Aside from that it's not a whodunnit 'gotcha' kind of twist, it takes the whole film to get there.  You're thinking about the possibilities on offer the whole time but can't quite confirm it, hence the rewatchability (for some).

And God only knows what happened to my uncool niece.

Wow - first thing I thought was 'Shit hits the Fan' by the Circle Jerks.  So disappointed I had to login after god knows to register my disappointment.  Different generation I guess…

I've been reading and am almost finished Waging Heavy Peace and can't disagree with anything Steve's said (although the feeble attempt to replicate part seems a little harsh).  Neil's obviously no writer but it's still good as a fan to be able to read his unfiltered ramblings.  Seems like a few drunken conversations…

Really looking forward to Oct. 30 - I got a gift voucher and all!

You mustn't be that good at thinking then.
