trinityvixenThis day isn't devoid of stuff to do--indeed, I've gotten a great many things done--but it's sure slow as nuts. It's like the day knows that, when I get out of here, I'm going to Best Buy (yay!) and Boston (In that order!) to play away my weekend. And god forbid time move just a tad faster. Pfft.

ecmyers's poll about Night Watch and, subsequently, Day Watch viewing preferences. If you haven't seen Night Watch, allow me to persuade you to correct this error. Here's the info on Night Watch and Day Watch from the IMDB. Webstie for Night Watch is here, and the trailer for Day Watch is here.
Night Watch was the most visually stunning thing I'd seen since The Matrix. Not to worry, you Wachowski-haters: plot-wise, it's very different. But the gorgeous inclusive use of the subtitles (it's a Russian film) engage you as you watch; it's like reading a comic book--lettering and dissolving phrases to indicate the state of the speaker. Absolutely fantastic. And the special effects are pretty eye-popping for a film made in a) a pretty dirt-poor country overall and b) on the budget the thing had (something criminally low, like $4 million, which, granted, in Russia is a lot).
Most impressive special effect in the entre movie, in mine own humble opinion? Turning this guy into this guy. I mean, seriously, guys: they made a man who started out with a Prince Valiant haircut devastatingly hot. That's gotta be worth your time uptown. There's also a hot singer chick and a naked one and one who turns into a tiger, if that's more your bent.
