Super Infra-Man.  Fun, silly film.  I like to imagine a young Monoriu is in there somewhere.

Went and saw 21 Jump Street last night.  Far better than it had any right to be, and as far as I could tell required absolutely zero awareness of the original.

Probably could have used less dick jokes however.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Yeah, I still cringe at the scene at the party in the hills.

Maybe California isn't so great. :(

California's great.  LA women: not so much.

A-Klassen, lovely Danish satire like DR used to make them. Looking forward to episode 2!

Watched a bit of Fair Game last night, the movie about Valerie Plame, Whatshisface, and yellowcake.

Assuming it's factual, two things I picked up.  The one undercover mission they show Plame (played by Naomi Watts-yum) conducting is she travels to Egypt to meet with an exile Iraqi nuclear scientist while pretending to be an American nuclear academic.  If that's the extent of it, then the "life in danger" narrative doesn't look very strong but the "unable to perform her duties" part of the narrative holds up.

The second is we see Ambassador Whatshisname (played by Sean Penn) going through the steps of proving a sale of yellowcake on the scale alleged (500 tons) did not take place.  But we don't see him disproving an *attempt* by Iraq to purchase yellowcake, which is what Bush refers to in his infamous State of the Union.  Maybe Ambassador W. made that seperate argument in the latter part of the movie and/or in his NYT op-ed.
