The New Yorker:The most insidious implication of the new system is that Rumsfeld no longer has to tell people what he’s doing so they can ask, ‘Why are you doing this?’ or ‘What are your priorities?’ Now he can keep all of the mattress mice out of it.”

We saw the new James bond movie, Casino Royale . It was totally awesome. Bond (played by Daniel Craig) was such a brash but charming character, his acting was very enjoyable. The new intro used mathematical functions (sine waves and fractals-I'm such a nerd), reminds me of Ian Gouldstone's Corollary animation . Jim really liked Night Watch , but I didn't go. Maybe I'll have to watch it soon, although it sounds scary. Clerks II at LSC, was gross but fun. Some unbelievable scenes. I want the hours of my life back from watching Beerfest . Ofcourse, we also did see Borat , which was fun, but less mindless. It was educational, NOT!

For Hollywood Videos' 2fer2sdays, I rented The Bourne Supremacy :: Universal Pictures and Chronicles of Riddick. Funny thing was that both bad guys were the same Russian dude, Karl Urban .

Kill Bill was awful. Lots of gratuitous violence, that I didn't enjoy. I didn't think there was much plot, and the cinematography was too friggin' obvious. Isn't Tarantino too clever having a whole scene in silohuette? No. I don't think I'll be watching the sequel. Good think I saw it at LSC, where it was discounted. Quite a few of the audience left during this movie, it was so bad...Zatoichi is a lot better of a campy, beautiful, samarai flick.
