Al Pacino will play joe paterno in a movie directed by Brian depalma that's adapted from the book written by joe posnanski.

Broken city was meh. Also, a bottle of water cost $5 at the theater. Is this normal?

Watched Zero Dark Thirty last night. Pretty much flawless for the first two hours. Lost its fastball a bit at the end, but still very good. Part of it was you already know how it ends and also there wasn't really anything new about the raid I didn't know.

I caught a 9PM showing at a 20 screen megaplex and was the only person in the entire theater. Kind of cool since I mostly hate people but also oddly a little unnerving. I've been in mostly empty showings before but never completely empty. Wish they would have let me pause it for a bathroom break.

I thought the ending to ZDT was the best part. The raid on Abbotabad is some amazing filmmaking. I was surprised that we never got a good look at Osama's face. Didn't even realize at first that they had shot him.

apparently JJ abrams will direct the new star wars.

Here's a pretty good article from Devin Faraci about Abrams and Star Wars, and why he thinks it works:

I'm very conflicted about all of that. In a lot of ways, it looks like "Indie Cliché! The Movie". But it's the Coens, so it's hard to think it'd be bad at all.

I think it's based on Dave Van Ronk and the Greenwich village folk revival scene in the early '60s, so it should be quite interesting.

I know what you mean. But then that line about the condoms. I kind of felt like that last part where he can't play was somehow a punchline to the whole thing, but I can't really get a handle on it.
