To all and sundry

In Melbourne, there are two kinds of people, those who have seen Borat and those who would like to. (Now that I have stayed here long enough, I have earned a right to stereotype the denizens. :p) However, few aliens (like me) fall into a minority third category - those who don't care.

I watched The Prestige here at the bad-popcorn-serving (grr!!) Nova theatres yesterday. Am a great fan of Chris Nolan movies.. think they are fabulous. At times, almost a mock at various presumptuous "intelligent" movie critics across. I ve seen some of these movie crazed intelligentia, sitting in a screening.. analysing, dissecting, crtitiquing a movie maker as they watch along. It's amazing to sit next to them.. you could almost hear the levers in their heads tweaking.. words popping around in their heads for the reviews next day. Some people just take it too seriously. It's fun though.. it's like watching a Nolan movie.

Do watch this one. Even if you have watched The Illusionist (which was another good one). This is quite erm.. different from it. And recommended.

P.S. I was recently told Robert Altman passed away. Respects.
