I totally didn't know that, I thought it was directed by Gary Ross, like the film. No wonder Fiona Apples version quickly replaced the Beatles version as my favorite of that song. It's all in the directing. :) Thanks Jay. I totally didn’t know that, I thought it was directed by Gary Ross, like the film.

Always so entertaining :) Although I agree that most doc's I wouldn't say would be great or required to see in the theatre but, seeing King of Kong at the Bloor was awesome. The crowd was quite responsive with giggles, cheers, tsk's and applause. Totally fun. The Magnificent Seven is awesome! Go see it.. now! Yul rocks. Loved the crazy top ten theme. I hope to see 3-Iron soon, just saw Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring and it was divine. Great podcast guys! Always so entertaining :)

The whole wife-looking-out-the-window-longingly-while-fighting-conspiracy was TV material. Terrible. Outside of a few cool shots (very few, the boats crashing comes to mind as one) the movie was complete shit. Movies like that makes me feel like MTV has taken over the american film industry (Batman Begins being another big one).

The way she and her hair moved was totally stunning. The rest of the movie was pretty much a big meh... of course I bought it on DVD and haven't even considered watching it again. The same thing for me and Beowolf. If it wasn't for the fact that it was CGI the movie would have ended up as a direct to DVD that no one would have cared about. I somewhat enjoyed Across the Universe. Some of the songs sucked a bunch were good. My biggest complaint was that a bit of it was too forced. The whole Prudence character was simply there so they could fit the Prudence song in. The movie should have been a bit more creative instead of just relying on the characters to have the names in the songs. Oh and I loved Joe Cocker showing up in ATU.
