Mistakes were made

1. So is "300" crap, as I put it the other day? I find A.O. ("Call me Tony") Scott generally reliable on such things, but Bram politely points us to some more measured criticism here.

2. I've never gotten into the whole David Sedaris thing. It's mainly that I don't find him very funny. Anyway, I'm sure this'll come as a shock to you, but it seems he's been making shit up.

3. I see that Spielberg is one of the prime movers behind that Tintin movie I mentioned the other day. It's interesting--in a bad way--that they still don't seem to know whether it'll be a cartoon or live action. Either way, still dubious.

4. We're off to Sin City for a few days. I was watching MSNBC last night--I can't get enough of this Purgegate story--and Joe Scarborough had this incredibly hard-hitting story about the Vegas casinos. I was shocked to discover that the house always wins. Next they'll tell us there were no WMDs in Iraq.

So, I just want to say, for the record, that I thought 300 was rather good, considering it was based on a 'graphic novel' (i.e. evolved comic book). I'd love to get in a dust-up with you over its merits and demerits sometime. I thought the review you posted sometime back totally missed the mark. I'll read the newest one to see if it's any better and let you know.
