You're welcome, Brian. As I told Teague, a couple of years ago I went into a store with a big sign that said "GIANT BOOK SALE" and I asked, "Okay. What giant books do you have?" And the clerk pointed me to this gigantic book about the space program that was about 18" x 24" and cost all of about $15.

I found a blog that shows it....

Sherlock is great, altho I found the third one too much like an episode of Doctor Who with the Master. The baddy's motivation is ridiculous and nonsensical.

I really like Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock... and Snatch. And RockNRolla was good too.

Ha. Report back.

Very nice recap, pretty much agree down the line with you guys on all of these.

I will re-iterate that you guys should really give Tin Tin a shot though, the trailers really do a bad job of selling how awesome the set pieces in the movie are. Its like a big apology for Indy IV, has the coolest long take sequence I've seen since probably Children of Men, and a pirate battle that kicks the shit out of anything in the Pirates of the Carribean movies. While it's definitely not great (the stakes are pretty weak, I'll agree, and it has a typically weak ending from Spielberg), it really succeeds on the strength of the action and the gorgeous animation (and Andy Serkis kills it like always, and Simon Pegg/Nick Frost are pretty good too).

Did any of you end up seeing Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy? That movie is 2 hours of anti-climax, and I can't decide if that's the whole point and I should love it for it (kind of a Death Proof situation), or if it's just really fucking disappointing.

I just saw The Descendants last night, and I had a problem with the narration. It shows up at the beginning to lay down exposition, and then it disappears for the rest of the film. Otherwise, I liked the movie a lot, but that lazy writing really bugged me.

Also, I guessed before the credits rolled that two different people (or two teams) worked on the script. Some of the dialogue was great, but a lot was kinda cheesy and overblown.
