The Aviator
I really can't come up with any witty remarks about this well-made movie.
Dr. Strangelove etc.
It's 96 minutes long, and I'm reasonably sure I could cut 10 or 15 more out of it.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. It has one of the funniest final lines in recent memory. But it's Stanley Kubrick, the man who would later give us A Two and a Half Hour Shot of A Spaceship Gliding Towards a Large Object in Space. As a side note, IMDB tells me that James Earl Jones' character was named Lt. Lothar Zogg. Win.
As for The Aviator, I mean literally what I said. It's well-directed and acted. I enjoyed watching it. It will probably not go on any favorite movie list of mine.
Umm, it's really long and has Alan Alda in it?

One Sentence Movie Reviews, Part III
Perfect Blue
OMFG what's going on.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
How does an Italian make such a damn good western?
Perfect Blue is disturbing and violent and excellent and has rekindled my desire to watch the annie-mays; TGTBaTU is stylish and violent and excellent and has rekindled my desire to watch Clint Eastwood pretend to do things on film.
Topic switch!
Imagine my delight upon reading my BBC news feed and seeing this headline:

Alas, it's about virus-infected computers, not virus-infected humans.
Damn.

Life of Brian:
I mean, I guess it's funny.
Infernal Affairs:
I do so enjoy a good identity drama.
Also, I'm about two thirds through Perfect Blue. Diagnosis: disturbing.
Next project: watch The Departed, discuss, repeat.

One Sentence Movie Reviews
North by Northwest:
I want to have a threesome with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint.
Road to Perdition:
I never knew Tom Hanks could be so menacing or Jude Law could be so creepy.
But seriously, North by Northwest is fairly to greatly awesome. My one complaint: the ending seems incredibly sudden. DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER hey we're ok PHALLIC IMAGERY THE END.
Road to Perdition is excellent. I don't really know what else to say about it.

No Shortage of Ego
As ridiculously narcissistic as it is to post pictures of oneself to one's blog, I made these. I blame you, Matthew.
This one is a composite of two layers, the one on top set to a low opacity, with cutout and blue filters applied, as well as level-shifted towards the bright side.
This one is blue. You may have noticed.
This one I sent in to our university newspaper today. It'll get printed, maybe? Considering the current state of their comic department, it's a definite possibility.
