Wanted more?
To quote my own recent review of Wanted: "I spent much of the film presuming it would finish on an open-ended note, as the structure reminded me of films like X-Men and Iron Man: all set-up and origin story... done with an eye (or, indeed, both eyes) on a sequel. Wanted doesn’t really end that way, which in an age where the franchise is everything is admirable… apart from that the film leading to that ending still feels franchise-friendly."
And, lo, it turned out to be so.
Maybe next time they won't cram all the best bits into the trailer.

Time Zones
While I'm in New York, posts will be made at their usual just-before-midnight times... but on GMT-5:00. This seems to make sense, all things considered.
DVD Extras
Munich: An Introduction by Director/Producer Steven Spielberg
Short but interesting introduction by Spielberg to his film Munich, one of the few extras to have made it onto the R2 DVD. (Watched primarily to test the MacBook Air SuperDrive I got with my new MacBook Air.)

Graduation
I graduated from university today. This is my first degree, a BA in English With Film Studies. (Next academic year I'll be doing an MA in Creative Writing.)
Not necessarily the most exciting thing for independent readers, but a piece of my cultural experience nonetheless.
