nix and hydra

four days from now, i will be seated in the middle of the gateway mall's globe platinum cinema with my beloved queen, layla, chugging on refillable drinks, and munching on unlimited popcorn, and more importantly, watching the long overdue SUPERMAN RETURNS!!! ka-chow! you see, i am a total geek and proud to be one (but not like they way gay people are blatantly and loudly proud of their... um... condition), and ive already bought the tickets around two weeks ago, on the very day the tickets were available for purchase. coincidentally while wearing my superman t-shirt. anyways, being the first feature film to be shown in imax 3d, superman returns will also be screened in the notorious mall of asia's imax theater. why didnt i chose to watch it there and be awed by the 8-story high, crsip quality screen accompanied by 3d technology? because i wanna watch this movie as is. well, at least the first time. i sorta kinda find being told to wear and take off the 3d glasses at certain points in th film arduous. and it basically ruins the experience. like while you're struck silly by the attention-diverting 3d effects (trust me, it will in one way or another amaze you like a kid in disneyland) you're missing out on the big part of the movie, which is the story. which the foremost reason i watch movies. in a lucky list, story would fall on number 13 and other aspects like special effects, acting, directing, editing, would occupy the previous numbers. that's how i watch movies, and that's how i will watch superman returns (so layla, i apologize right now if you would feel nonexistent during the movie or if i shush you. i know you'd understand).

the superman trailer! in lego!


so, fellow superman fans, comic book geeks, movie buffs, and others, see you at the movies this wednesday where we'll all believe a man can fly. again.

p.s. on a sorta related story, nix and hydra are the two new satellites (okay, moons) of pluto. the planet. not the disney dog.

imprint

i am one page away from finishing the favor my lil sister asked of me, just taking a break. back when i was still bumming around, she'd always need my help with her homework and school projects: art stuff, role-play scripts, computer stuff, et cetera (sometimes simultaneously with layla's). having been away from home most of the time, i must admit i kinda missed this. this one's just typing though. i miss writing scripts for her; she'd tell me how many they are in the group, male and female, the main idea of the script, and then id have it done and printed by week's end, and then when she comes home after school she'd tell me all about it. my only worry ever was if the kids could pull it off, because the scripts were mostly comedic in nature which called for good acting and perfect timing. well, i guess they did well because none of their parents had come over to complain about their bad grades due to a crappy script.



so what's cookin, buddy? how have you been? hope you're always fine. i sure am. things have been going my way lately. money's ceased being a problem, well, for now maybe. love life's in tip-top shape, awesome and amazing. work's a bit boring but time flies like a falcon with a jetpack, so, no protest there. it's basically feel good mood in the 'hood, dood (actually, times like these makes me think that my death is near and im just being given a few days to enjoy life).

here's a treat for the ladies. worth1000.com's photoshop look at a world where women and rule, and men... um... don't rule.

lookie here! two more movie reviews! am i on a roll or what? if movie reviews are your thing, if you need a second opinion on a particular film, or if you just want somethin to exercise your eyes on, click away, my friend, click away: inside man and le parfum de la dame en noir.

lastly, one of my favorite mangas, mpd psycho, is will soon get yankeefied. one of my favorite directos, takashi miike, directed a tv series based on it and i havent seen a frame of it yet (dvd, anyone?). if this is true then it's half good news. the other half comes if they dont tame down the gore that made this japanese comic an instant hit to me. i sure hope they dont screw this up. from this day forward my fingers are crossed. you're probably not asking, what's mpd psycho about anyways? well... it's about a detective with multiple personalites (hence mpd = multiple personality detective. gotta love manga/anime titling) solving various fckd up murders. find it interesting? well then, why not download and read the first issue right here? (note: mature content in zipped file)

LE PARFUM DE LA DAME EN NOIR by jaiskizzy

ist: a great magician dies and the widow, the titular lady in black, remarries. the newlyweds spend their honeymoon on a nice little house, home to a handful of peculiar people. one of the guests suspects that the magician is dead which makes the lady in black the lady in danger. he and his bumbling sidekick must put their heads together to solve this mystery and unmask the crook amongst the other guests. guided by subtitles! yay.

a classic example of the film ingenuity of the french. you’ll never see a pinoy movie like this (unless some wacko plagiarizes it). the core of this film is its unconventional humor, it’s funny, quirky, and amazingly light, despite dealing with danger and death. weird that it’s almost magical how something serious is being discussed and then the zealous hostess would suddenly cut the tension with “let’s eat!” which instead of being annoying makes you laugh a bit. there’s just too many ridiculously funny scenes to enumerate, but one of my favorites would be the two guys hiding in a well each with a periscope to spy around them (im pretty sure you have no idea what im talking about. it’s just one of those “have to see” things). normally it would have been corny in another movie but here it just wasn’t. it perfectly jived with the tender tickle tone of the film. another favorite would be the solar submarine sequence, again a seemingly out-of-place idea but integral to the story.

hsuck me sideways if i knew who the director was, but whoever he is, he did quite a job here, there were some great camera shots (thumbs up to flashback scene in the school hallway) and fine scene “choreography”, like when one character retells an event in his point of view, we see the exact same scene that was previously shown but in a different perspective. only a few movies got this to work. another reason why this movie is such a bundle of enjoyment is its characters, all of them colorful and full of life, each with their eccentricities. for me, the best of the bunch is the dude who played sainclair, who looks so much like alan cummings. he has sort of a charlie chaplin aura with him and a teensy bit of gayness. sainclair is one funny chap and most of the time not on purpose. he steals every scene he is in. so he’s kind of like a speaking charlie chaplin. minus the slapsticks. one very notable scene has sainclair hiding in a workshop trying to stay quiet but instead causes more ruckus that results into a domino effect/chain reaction of the objects inside.

an unusual film with an unusual plot and unusual characters. needless to say, i had an unusually good time.

the good: the storytelling style, the characters, the humor.
the bad: a french film with no nudity?!? minus points!
the ugly: honestly... the lady in black.
the verdict: 7 detachable periscopes

INSIDE MAN by jaiskizzy

it's a fine sunny business day in manhattan, so how about... a bank robbery? clive owen et. al. had just that in mind. masked, armed, and calculated, they turn the bank into a fortress and hold the people inside as hostages. enter denzel washington with big willy and the twins to match wits with the crooks and make sense out of this seemingly well-planned crime. enter jodie foster with a corporate smile on her face and a hidden agenda in her, um... hiding place (hey that one rhymes!). take a puff. it's a spike lee joint!

spoiler clue: inside man. the title says it all. anyways, this movie wasnt actually on my list of must-sees. not that i dont think it would be good, it just went under the radar and would have went right past me if layla hadn't wanted to watch it only because she's having an affair with clive owen (albeit an imaginary one). turns out it was a good thing i didnt decide to just stay home and ponder. because this film was beautiful. well, so was my companion, but this film was filmly beautiful. although ive had knowledge of the directorial existence of spike lee, ive never been really familiar with his movies. i heard they were good. now i have proof that they are. inside man was presented with a very personal feel. the exchanges between characters looked authentic and the shots were almost p.o.v., as if you were there watching the events unfold or eavesdropping on the conversations. you even see scenes like the unrolling of the police tape, something you dont see in most movies with a similar theme (that thing about the trains was very realistic) i also like the way spikey chose to inter-cut the present events with future interrogations with the hostages inside the bank who obviously survived. this helped increase the mystery aroma of the movie. lets you put together the puzzle piece by piece but not in a whodunit detective story way. do not expect any big scenes though. like i said, this is a very personal and very human movie. this may be a bank robbery movie but there are no car chases or bullet-ridden encounters here, no sir. (i wonder, however, why heist/hostage taking movies always happen near a diner...)

this film could be used as a visual aid in an acting class. the powerhouse cast performed at top-level calibre in their respective roles. despite zero drama moments. denzel washington was unbelievable. that dude can act. else, he's like that in real life. every word he let go and every expresion he wore, real like the hair on my knuckles. he never goes over the top or makes a hero's one-liners. just calm, casual, and cool. clive owen is equally great, considering he had to act behind a mask most of the time. i think it was primarily his vocals that gave the attitude his character needed. closing the triangle is jodie foster in a very easily but well done role. this trio held the film together and i doubt that the movie would have worked the way it did if it werent for them. also, in a small but effective part was the green goblin himself. and then there's a girl and her nice cleavage that needed no acting. bra-vo.

i am a volleyball and i just got spike leed.

the good: good directing. fine acting
the bad: a lil predictable. or was that deliberate?
the ugly: denzel on a segway shot.
the verdict: 8 bugged pizza box lid lifers.

CARS by jaiskizzy

"i am speed... i eat losers for breakfast." goes the pre-race mantra of lightning mcqueen, an arrogant rookie race car all eyes on the prize: win the piston cup and be dinoco's new endorser. on his way to california for the finals after a triple tie, lightning gets lost and ends up at the forgotten little town of radiator springs where he destroys the main road on his arrival. he is sentenced to community service and is prohibited from speeding away until fix the road. soon he makes new and learns a few important lessons in life, like tractor tipping. will he get to california in time to make the audience weep with a dramatic moment, i mean, win the race?! ka-chow!

as a fan of pixar animated features, with a special lil fondness for the shorties, i have been anticipating this follow-up to the incredibles. on the other hand, layla's primary reason to see this one is because it is was born out of apple. so, she and i headed to eastwood and watched it with about a hundred fairly well-behaved kids (thank heavens). and who better to judge if this film works than these mini men and women? based on their reactions, cars definitely scored high. they bought all the lil jokes, laughed at the hillbilly tow truck, mater, and fell silent at the right moments (one proof that this movie isnt heavy for their noggins to comprehend: lightning discovers doc hudson's true identity when he finds a familiar object in doc's house (garage), to which a kid who was paying attention exclaimed: "piston cup!"). i myself found... uh, myself, chuckling at some of the jokes and losing it at a few (which seemed meant only for the adults to understand, like, lightning says "piston cup." and then mater retorts "he did what in his cup!?"). but the scenes that really reached out and tickled everyone funny boner are the car "spoof" of pixar movies: toy car story (you're a toy... car1), monster trucks inc., and a bug's life, voiced by the original actors. this wittiness was probably what made this animated film appealing to both kids and adults, and i think i blinked too many times and missed out some of the small ones (some of the ones i didnt miss: "braking news", "i auto be in pictures", and jay limo). and there are still lots more to enjoy.

anyways, owen wilson voiced lightning mcqueen well. he was able to channel a distinct personality to the car, as if you are actually watching him do the gun gesture when he does the ka-chow. paul newman as doc hudson hornet was very believable as well. but it was larry the cable guy/mater who brought the garage(house) down. well, not that much, i wouldnt say he stole the show as some would. he just excelled as the film's main comic relief, and im pretty sure we'll be hearing from him or seeing him more in future projects (git-r-done!). other cars i really liked were the hippie volkswagen van fillmore (he has a license plate goatee, plays jimi hendrix' rendition of star-spangled banner in the morning, and offers homemade "organic" fuel), and guido the italian forklift who only knows one english word: pitstop (his pitstop debut was hilarious). the cgi was topnotch pixar, great car designs (although as an adult, i thought they were a tad too cartoony and flexible), awesome landscapes, and supa-fine lighting effects (the reflections on the cars' shiny exterior were amazing). plus it has michael schumacher as a ferrari. coolness.

yet another pixar classic. great kids movie that kids of all ages and all kids at heart will have a blast with, although in varying levels. not the best in the timeline, but worthy of the legacy nonetheless. definitely demands a second viewing. here's to ratatouille!

the good: the cars, the humor.
the bad: how come there were no kid cars?
the ugly: the rust-eze cars.
the verdict: 8 white wall tires.

THE OMEN by jaiskizzy

gist: in this updated version of a classic, julia stiles and a dude who resembles one of my high school friends (topaquits!!) are the oblivious parents of the devil’s son whom they have aptly named damien. some sinister shit starts spreading as the path to power is paved for the prince. a priest preaches prophecies, papa ponders, peter piper picked a peck of pickled pepper!

not a good film. okay. but not good. that is, on its own. but if you’d compare it to the original, it plummets down to crap territory. mostly, it was faithful to the original, but the things they changed though didnt work. i remember how creepy the old omen had been and how this remake wasnt (or maybe because i was just a kid then). this one felt like watching a long episode of csi miami, with csi (las vegas) as the original omen. well... yes, it kept me awake. yes the impaling was cool, and the decapitation even cooler. yes there was one suspenseful scene involving an air bubble and a startler involving snow. but beyond that? close, but no cuban. i actually had a hard time completing the summary above, because sentence number one was the only solid definition for this movie. everything else that followed and surrounded that concept seemed like random stuff thrown in for padding, like cotton to a flat-chested girl’s bra. sure, they contribute to the idea that this boy is satan’s offspring sent to give the earth a beating, but they don’t really form a concrete mold to hold a well-structured story together. anyways, three-quarters into the movie, i already had thought of a nice way to review this film. as a tribute to the apparent collapse of the julia stiles’ career (what happened to you, girl?!) i present to you…

10 things i hate about the omen 1. julia stiles. she looks fat and old. 2. damien. looked scary in the trailers. acted scary in the movie. 3. the red stuff. too forced. 4. clues to the death. a la final destination. 5. the nanny. too obvious. i would have fired her at once. 6. the dogs. could have been scarier. 7. the men in the gorilla suits. sheesh. 8. scaring the audience with sound volume. 9. cheapo video editing. 10. the predictable, no build-up, “that’s it?” ending.

plus there was no clear indication if damien born on 6/6/6 or the events begin in 6/6/6. because if damien was born in 6/6/6, then the movie happens in 2012, and it doesn’t look like 2012 at all. one more thing, whatever magical thing killed the other players, why didn’t it kill damien’s dad? tsk. tsk. tsk. a very very defective movie. obvious rushed to meet the 6/6/6 deadline. tsk.

the good: the impaling and the seamless decapitation.
the bad: refer to the list.
the ugly: the toothbrush commercial scene. ugh.
the verdict: 6(66) red balloons. (3 if compared to the original)

jai albert omen or the owen.

sting like a beemer

screw the updates. im busy.

just kidding. but i am kinda sorta busy. it's french film festival once again and im off to shangri-la mall in a while to catch a screening. plus, i used a bit of my separation pay from gma to purchase a bunch of dvds which will take up a lot of my free time.

anyways, to make up for the time you thought you are wasting here, i've got two new movie reviews: the omen and cars.

about the pop-ups, i'll fix that this weekend.

and... um... that's it. bye. take care. world peace.

not mea culpa

oh fudge it. i hate internet cafe lurkers who read what's none of their business.

"war doesn't determine who's right. war determines who's left." -a. nonymous

hi. jai/skizzy here. again. i was gonna post another personality analysis thingy, this time based on the day of one's birth regardless of month, but it was in a fcked up format. i tried remedying each line but it wasnt until day 3 that i realized i had to go through all 31 days doing just that and who knows how long that's gonna take. so ima take it home and fix it on iLa and post it next time. and who knows when that's gonna be.

in the meantime, i have been doing my homework, and so you got yourselves a couple of articles to peruse. first, the much-unawaited (except maybe for tin) sequelizer, wherein i, utilizing my creative gift, come up with a storyline for a possible sequel to a particular movie, with my choice of actors to play the additional characters. today, we sequelize x-men: the last stand and produce... x-men iv: the rise of apocalypse! the other blurb i got for you, dears, is a new lucky list. what it about? theme songs. i had been composing an entirely different list since last week, and then suddenly this one burrowed into my head and wouldnt leave so i wrote it during work, in between complaint e-mails. so if you'e ready, go on and take a gander at my lucky list of 13 theme songs i like. and apropos, commenting is good for your health. if you agree or disagree with any of the things ive put down to torture your eyes with, please, let it out. it's for the best.



question: why does it seem like blogging has become a school project? suddenly everyone's got a blog, most of them are kids, and they all have "personalized" designs. do not get me wrong, cujo, i have no problem with youngsters exercising their writing/computer talents. i just find it odd. amusing, yes, but very odd (i honestly think there's too much pink in the internet right now...)

well, gotta sprint. keep coming back. i mean, seriously, havent been i posting quite a lot recently? compared to the amount of posts i made in the near past, that is a lot. so, i'll be expecting your presence here again soon eh? thanks.

p.s. an overdue jaiku. this was written along with the last one a few posts ago. there were three of them actually, one about the brownies, one about sharks, and one about jessica alba, who hosted the 2006 mtv movie awards (gotta watch that one!) anyways, here goes nothing...

jessica alba,

to-may-to, to-mah-to

hello, stranger.

if you noticed (or if you hadn't) i made a slight rearranging of the blog. that darn useless panda is gone. moved my profile in its place. yay. let us all get naked and celebrate.

see my blog buddies list? wanna see your blog link there, dont ya? just say the word and i shall be healed.

anyways, because my work sked's gone crappy and i cant go home to batangas and sit long hours on this blog (plus im lazing out a bit), i'll just post this personality thingy dumped into my e-mail inbox. again, mine's in bold letters. but before we get to that, got a new movie review for you, all you movie review lovers: kiss kiss bang bang.

your personality based on your name's first letter

You have no patience for flirting and can't be bothered with someone who is trying to be coy, cute, demure, and subtly enticing. You are an up-front person. You often don't get hints & you never pass any. Brains turn you on. You must feel that your partner is intellectually stimulating; otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being appreciated. Your mate's physical attractiveness is important for you. You tend to be very practical, & not very emotional. Your choices are very good & can only lead to trouble. You are very self satisfied & egoistic.

You are an expert at controlling your desires and doing without.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: D?
Once you get it into your head that you want someone, you move full steam ahead in your suit. You do not give up your quest easily. You are nurturing and caring. If someone has a problem, this turns you on. You are highly passionate, loyal, and intense in your involvement's, sometimes possessive and jealous. You are very sharp & talented often with sense of humor. When people bother to look deep inside they cannot resist what they see. You are stimulated by the eccentric and unusual, having a free and open attitude. You get jealous of other people and lose your temper.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: E?
Your greatest need is to talk. If your date is not a good listener, you have trouble relating. A person must be intellectually stimulating or you are not interested sexually. You need a friend for a lover and a companion. You hate disharmony and disruption, but you do enjoy a good argument once in a while-it seems to stir things up. You flirt a lot, for the challenge is more important. But once you give your heart away, you are uncompromisingly loyal. You will fall asleep with a good book. Sometimes, in fact, you prefer a good book to a lover.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: F?

Your duties and responsibilities take precedence over everything else. You may have difficulty getting emotionally close to people.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: H?
You seek a mate who can enhance your zest for life, fun & everything you seek for. You will be very generous to your lover once you have attained a commitment. You are very affectionate & very strong. Your gifts are actually an investment in your partner. Before the commitment, though, you tend to be very careful with your every move and equally cautious in your involvements often, as you believe that you have to look out for yourself. You are a sensual and patient lover. You will hold off till everything meets your full approval. You are a perfectionist, hard to satisfy and strong in your beliefs. Not influential, you always stand your ground. People can always count on you to stand by them in a crisis. You are a dreamer with a passion for life.

You are willing to experiment and try new modes of statement. You bore easily and thus require adventure and change. Your commitments don't last very long & you often tend to stray. Loyalty is not one of your strong points. You are more sensual than sexual, but you are sometimes downright lustful.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: J?
You are blessed with a great deal of physical energy. When used for a good cause there is nothing to stop you, except maybe that they aren't always used for the good. ( you could dance all night.) You respond to the thrill of the chase and the challenge of the mating game. You can carry on great romances in your head. At heart you are a roamer and need to set out on your own every so often. You will carry on long- distance relationships with ease. You are idealistic and need to believe in love. You have a need to be nurtured deep within.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: K?
You are secretive, self-contained, and shy. You are very sexy, sensual, and passionate, but you do not let on to this. Only in intimate privacy will this part of your nature reveal itself. When it gets down to the nitty-gritty, you are an expert. You know all the little tricks of the trade, can play any role or any game, and take your love life very seriously. You don't fool around. You have the patience to wait for the right person to come along. You are very generous & giving, often selfless. You are kind-natured & sweet, which is found to be
attractive by many. You are a good friend.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: L?
You can be very romantic, attached to the glamour of love. Having a partner is of paramount importance to you. You are free in your statement of love and are willing to take chances, try new sexual experiences and partners, provided it's all in good taste. Brains turn you on. You must feel that your partner is intellectually stimulating, otherwise you will find it difficult to sustain the relationship. You require loving, cuddling, wining, and dining to know that you're being appreciated.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: M?
You may appear innocent, unassuming and shy; but we know that appearances can lie. When it comes to sex, you are no novice but something of a skilled technician. You can easily go to extremes, though, running the gamut from insatiability to boredom with the whole idea of love. You can be highly critical of your mate, seeking perfection in both of you. It is not easy to find someone who can meet your standards. You have difficulty expressing emotions and drawing close to lovers. You are often selfish, thinking you are always right no matter what. You never give in. Winning is your prime desire- at any cost. You often forget friends and family and you live for the moment.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: N?
You are emotional and intense. When involved in a relationship, you throw your entire being into it. Nothing stops you; there are no holds barred. You are all consuming and crave someone who is equally passionate and intense. You believe in total freedom. You are willing to try anything and everything. Your supply of energy is inexhaustible. You want to be pampered and know how to pamper your mate. You also enjoy mothering your mate. You often have the greatest love affairs all by yourself, in your head. You are very imaginative.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: O?
You are very interested in fun activities yet secretive and shy about your desires. You can re-channel much of your energy into making money and/or seeking we. You can easily have extended periods of celibacy. You are a passionate, compassionate lover, requiring the same qualities from your mate. Love is serious business; thus you demand intensity, diversity and is willing to try anything or anyone. Sometimes your passions turn to possessiveness, which must be kept in check.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: P?
You are very conscious of social proprieties. You wouldn't think of doing anything that might harm your image or reputation. Appearances count. Therefore, you require a good-looking partner. You also require an intelligent partner. Oddly enough, you may view your partner as your enemy...a good fight stimulates those vibes. You are relatively free of hang-ups. You are willing to experiment and try new ways of doing things. You are very social and sensual; you enjoy flirting and need a good deal of physical gratification.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: Q?
You require constant activity and stimulation. You have tremendous physical energy. It is not easy for a partner to keep up with you. You are an enthusiastic lover and tend to be attracted to people because of their ethnic groups. You need romance, hearts and flowers, and conversation to turn you on and keep you going.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: R?
You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal-the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body. However, physical attractiveness is not very important to you. You have to be proved to be worthy for a partner. You have a need to prove yourself the best. You want feedback on your performance. You are open, stimulating & romantic.
________________________________________________________

Does your name begin with: S?
For you, it is pleasure before business. You can be romantically idealistic to a fault and is capable of much sensuality. But you never loose control of your emotions.

KISSKISS BANGBANG by jaiskizzy

a twist of fate puts harry, a small-time thief, in an acting audition and faster than post-pee tapping lands him on the lap of los angeles california, in a party where he meets a gay detective called gay perry, and sees his promiscuous high school crush, harmony, getting felt up by a stranger while she sleeps on a table. the three of them are then sucked into a murder conspiracy while i ate beef tapa that felt and tasted like plastic.

is robert downey jr. gay? because if he isn't, then he better undergo some masculinity restoration program because he is definitely sending out gay signs in his role here eventhough his character, harry, is 100% male and boners up when snuggling with harmony. i don't know, it was just kind of annoying and made it hard for me to relate to harry. val kilmer, on the other hand portrayed his gay perry role very well. refined and held back, the kind of homosexual i wouldnt have a problem being around with (except for the kissing part) because the only thing i hate more than vegetables are loud and proud gay people. anyways, thank goodness there was a pretty stunning girl named michelle monaghan to cancel out all of this gayness. she's kind of like an l.a. lolita, she's an aspiring actress who's only claim to fame is a beer/bear commercial and she's probably slept with more men than you could ever invite into your stag party. still, she was purty hot.

this movie is so fast-paced, scenes just snap one after another, it would seem that the book this was based on was no more than 100 pages long. a lot of things happen in this film, and despite a few being a bit far-fetched, i enjoyed almost all of them (except for the kissing part). these scenes are accompanied by some smart and funny dialogue, especially the ones that went between harry and gay perry. one good line was val kilmer's after he bitch-slaps harmony's father: "big tough guy." three words that represented a paragraph of explanation. now that's some swell writing. another aspect that makes this movie so entertaining is the narration by harry, one of the best movie narrations in my opinion, to the point that i believe robert downey jr narrated better than he acted (he even pauses and rewinds the film when he forgets to tell something). i dug the groovy cartoon opening credits. kudos go to the director, who gave this movie a fresh book-ish pulp-ish look. oh and by the way, if you are a guy, dont make "i will survive" your ringtone...

highly entertaining despite the lack of over-the-top sequences and super special effects or the not talky, artsy-fartsy philosophical/social/moral/spiritual messages.

the good: the narration, visual style, harmony.
the bad: the gayness. ugh
the ugly: the kissing part.
the verdict: 7 johnny gossamer novels.

skizz skizz, bang bang.
