I have no idea.

I'm working through the Man with No Name trilogy (go ahead and flame me)...I've always known that Eastwood was a badass, but I am really enjoying how beautifully shot the movies are.

Hands down one of the best. After Leone, I move on to Kurosawa.

My Netflix instant watch and deliveries are stacked with Kurosawa. I smiled when Google honored him in their logo a few weeks ago. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/g ... oodle.html

I just got my disc to start streaming Netflix over the Wii. Man, they offer a lot of crap, but a lot of interesting stuff too.

Last night I watched Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. The guy who plays Jim on the office wrote a screenplay based on the short story collection by the late, too-great-for-this-earth David Foster Wallace. It's an impressive first project for him, but overall it tries too hard to force a unifying theme from the source material. It's too contrived.

But there are two magnificent and moving monologues in the movie. It's worth seeing just to see the guy that plays police commissioner Burrell on the Wire deliver a stunning reflection on his disgust for his father, a lifelong bathroom attendant at a wealthy hotel. It's worth seeing this movie (or just fast forwarding to his monologue) for the scene alone.
