The costumes in the 5th element were designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, which explains all the sailor uniforms. The guy is obsessed with sailors.

Right there with you. The typos plus the "since the beginning of time people" intro almost made me get my red pen. Now I feel terrible.

The monster will be made out of the corpses of every character Sean Bean has played. Except Sharpe, of course, because he is apparently invulnerable.

The jester and the fool were supposed to talk, though, and without restraints. They showed the truth. It might be the fact that clowns are silent that makes them so creepy. They're like the anti-fools. They do not seem to have a social function or anything.

The only guy in our neighbourhood who made any money was that guy who had a ring that could turn him invisible. He abandoned all moral sense once he got it.

Two things ?

Grayson annual. It was nice, but last week's issue was so good that it didn't help this one. Not a comic, but I started reading Tom King's novel A once crowded sky and I'm loving it so far. It has the same mix of fun and melancholy and reflexive one can find in Omega men and Grayson.

That was maybe one of the most violent things I ever saw on screen. Violence in all its ugly reality, utterly un-glamourized (despite the nude aspect)

That last sentence sounds like a pitch for a movie.
