I knew that word

schiarire and I saw this musical in San Francisco. It's not a flashy song-and-dance spectacular, and it's no Les Mis, but it's fun and funny and very clever.

Apple Trailers is, as ever, a fantastic place to waste a few hours. Hugh Jackman continues his excellent script-choice streak with The Prestige (with bonus Christian Bale and Scarlet Johansson!), though it's interesting to see it coming out at the same time as The Illusionist (Ed Norton, Rufus Sewell & Jessica Biel. YES PLZ.). Renaissance looks very much like a cashing-in-on-Sin-City project, but that's not going to stop me from rushing to see it. I do not plan to see Say Uncle, but the trailer makes me giggle because it's EMMETT and CUDDY in a MOVIE TOGETHER. The Science of Sleep looks amazing, kind of Kaufmanesque, and I am very much in favour of Gael Garcia Bernal's recent projects: Babel looks good too.

Silver City-ers: I'm going to work my ass off and try to get the theory post up this weekend, so we can start throwing ideas around and bashing out a narrative.
