Let us never speak of the Grimlock situation again.

SO! Daniel and I went to see Vacancy last night for lack of anything better to do. It has the best opening title sequence ever. NEW ANALYTICAL CONCEPT I COMPLETELY CAME UP WITH MYSELF: the opening title sequence of a movie is like its thesis statement. Or was, in the 20th century. Now, someone says "gimme a Hitchcock" and a graphics firm is hired to deliver and boy do they ever, and then the movie that follows fundamentally fails to deserve that wonderful, wonderful credit roll. Strangely enough the only movies to continue to succeed in the credits-as-thesis concept are the films that are among the idea's original architects, namely the Bond flicks. Then again, the thesis has been "James Bond is a really cool spy who likes naked women and martinis and uses guns a lot" for a really long time, so spinning off a new iteration of that idea isn't exactly a runner's stretch.

More Star Wars movies! God, let it end. Just let it end. Though not technically qualifying to win Matty Price his-hundred dollar bet, and at least half-likely to be a misquote based on the live-action TV series, this is freakin' Ewoktacular (and by "ewok", I mean "crappy live action TV movies from the 80s").

More Austin Powers movies! Just in time to counter the threat of more Star Wars movies.

As it turns out, I might have to cut Spider-Man 2 a little bit of slack, because it really is hard to be Spider-Man.
