You know, I may be going out on a limb here, John, but I think you may find something worthwhile in Avatar. And treat yourself and see it at the IMAX. I am by no means an IMAX aficionado- I catch a flick there on average once every two years. But this was really an astounding experience.
I think Ethan would very likely enjoy the old Holmes films, especially since he very much wanted to but didn't get to see the RDJr. version that came out recently. Small consolation, perhaps, but consolation nonetheless.
And I am very faithful about logging my films watched on flixster, averaging at least a sentence per film. Why is thus not good enough? Why can you not bring yourself to stoop to my level and comment every now and then? Hmmm?
