TGIF with a very large T! <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed V well enough. It has some problems as a movie and as a statement about change but it was still very entertaining and had some wonderful moments both visually and aurally.Carl V.

I though the movie was very... moving. It was definitely one of those "Sit the Hell up and THINK!!!" Movies. I hesitate to use the term brilliant, but I remember how electrified I felt at the ending, and wishing I could take the movie home with me right at that moment and watch it again. It was an action movie with surprisingly little action, and a comic-book movie with surprisingly few of the weaknesses often inherent installed in those types of films (especially the ones that the industry will have trouble marketing in a pretty package). It also fell a few times to the temptation of letting melodrama creep in... but I completely forgave it. Melodrama seems to be Hollywood's defense-mechanism when it starts to think too long or hard about any one topic. <BR/><BR/>Now I want to see "Slither" because it looks hilarious, spooky, AND gross, has evil-brain-worms, mutant freaks, AND zombies, and seems to completely revolt my wife.

If I stumble on any more interesting results I'll forward them your way. Do you mind if I post the results on my blog as well (with attribution to you for your source images, of course)?Gregg P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04473512992835037980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1143807478275698202006-03-31T04:17:00.000-08:002006-03-31T04:17:00.000-08:00Aubrey will be fine.

SIR YES SIR. *sigh* It's all I can do to pry the blinders off and try to remove the stick from my anus.<BR/>She'll be just fine. It's us I'm worried about when her super-race of teenage sarcasmics take over the world.<BR/>Anyway, it's 5am, do you know where your children are?
