Yeah, their logic there is a little questionable: Kids should play with real, unbranded Legos and not a videogame with Lego Batman. It's a good game, though, and one with its fair share of problems to be solved by young players. (Or, you know, me.) And it's not like playing it precludes other kinds of more creative…

I think the first half is really strong and the scene where they go to the drug lair is amazing.

No. They clocked in at the usual length. In a couple of instances they filled out the hour with a deleted scene. I think some further trims might have been made but I doubt anything substantial.

Boston
Is their second album any good? I was late to embrace the amazingness of the first Boston album but now find its amazingosity can't be denied. (Rock Band helped.)

There's always the follow-up feature.

It's Handel's Water Music.

Hey, if you like her, keep watching these pages…

A Blu-Ray site I read criticized the picture quality but it looked pretty stunning to me.

Jim Carrey as Murdock feels sickeningly inevitable, doesn't it?

Shredder: MAD MAX is truly excellent and in many ways a different sort of film than ROAD WARRIOR, more '70s grindhouse-done-with-an-auteur's-flair than Kurosawa-in-the-desert. Both are great.

I was surprised by how much I liked APOCALYPTO. I think it would have gone over better if it hadn't been overshadowed by… incidents. Horribly offensive incidents.

Funny, Scott and I were just making the same comparison. CITY OF GOD is no less slick or rooted in melodrama but I left it feeling like I'd been told truth about a part of the world I've never seen. Not so with SLUMDOG, a movie I didn't mind but I'm a little confused at the flood of praise its gotten.

Just saw this yesterday. Grimly hilarious. [SPOILERS, though.]

One non-spoiler spoiler about this season: Don't get too hung up Dillon as the kind of place that pays a lot of attention to truancy.

Fresh Jive: Forwarded your issue.

The second was supposed to be "flicker." Honest.

Breakfast: Yes.

No, the dog's name is Sophie. Bacon's just one of her interests.

We Want Our Films To Be Beautiful Not Realistic
I think we fixed your problem. Everything cool now?

Alas, apparently we now have a character limit on usernames. Sorry about that.
