The redemption of Hugo Weaving

Atleast that's what I'm bylining Little Fish.

For the uninformed (and the uninitiated...but that comes later), Little Fish is this Australian flick with an awesome cast, and actually seems to be good. If you watched At The Movies today (possibly one of the best At The Movies in a long while) you'll know what I mean. Weaving looks electric; he's got such an intense sort of face. His facial structure is just...gah. I'm adding him to list of cool actors. I don't actually know what that list is, but Depp is on it. He got promoted after the chocolate factory.

This At The Movies was possibly one of the most confrontational I've seen; Mondovino, quaint little documentary about wine and globalisation which I'm really hoping I can see, was fairly hotly debated. David gave it half a star; that's right, half. It went a little like this.

David: I'm giving this half a star.
Margaret: You can't do that!
David: Yes, yes I can. I'm giving this movie half a star.
Margaret: Half a star, that's outrageous! I'm giving it four.

Mondovino even got good press on metacritic, scoring a respectable 67. Ebert liked it.

Crazazy.

I haven't even started on that thing I'm not supposed to tell about, and I have no idea how to. I will grill tomorrow about it. Like George Foreman.

'What would be the first thing you would do if you were ruler of the world?'

'I'd get rid of religion...and maybe underwear.'

Damn it, I was hoping for a slightly less busy week. It's still been busy, but i've had stuff popping up, while I have absolutely no obligation to go to or fulfill, must do so in order to maximise my market opportunities. How the siren song of economics lures me so.

I am off to go to sleep, and maybe the idea for something poignant and relevant will pop into my head to mystify and amaze the reciever. Night.

Oddly enough, "Grilled like george foreman" is on the new Kanye album I think. Or maybe NaS. I dont know
