Penn and PAN
Today I sent off an e-mail to the webmaster of Penn and Teller’s site with a link to the Impetuous Man box. We’ll see if I get any sort of reply.
I also just got through watching PAN’S LABYRINTH. Can I be a kill-joy and say I wasn’t that into it? I was annoyed that the day-for-night shooting wasn’t done that well — you could tell that footage was actually shot in the daytime. That seemed sloppy to me. I WAS thinking, though, that if I had watched it in a theater, or if I had watched it when I was younger, it would have made a much bigger impact on me. I think I’m somewhat jaded because I’ve seen so many good movies.

I think you would have been very impressed by Pan’s Labyrinth had you seen it in a theater. I saw it on it’s local opening night. The theater was very crowded and many people were deeply moved. I saw several people crying as they left the theater. A few weeks later, I’m not as excited as I was that night, but will still probably see it again.
