Ah, of course. I stand corrected. Thank you.

I scribbled:
Ow! My infraspinatus! Curse you, Cohen!

The pain goes away when the tendon ruptures.

AIIIIEEEEEEE!

Ahem. Never mind. Probably something I ate.

The pain *also* goes away with properly administered doses of humor,
imo. To wit:

Stranger Than Fiction <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420223/>

Excellent.

I wouldn't call it excellent. Good, but not excellent. Making a comedy about a depressing boring character is a fundamental film no-no. This movie is a great example why. Other than that, it was well done.


My Super Ex-Girlfriend <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465624/>

Crap.

The Devil Wears Prada <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/>

Good.

And The Illusionist <http://imdb.com/title/tt0443543/>, although not a
comedy, certainly entertained and captivated.

Excellent. As was the somewhat similar "The Prestige".

Plus, re 300, a recently mentioned flick here in MFW, the caped
Spartan crusaders are raking in tons of money for Time Warner.

Apparently, 300, "broke the record for a March opening, taking in $70
million." Hnnh! Musta been that CGI wolf. ;o)

Haven't seen it, but I like anything that pissed off the Iranians.
