It wasn't just seeing it in a theater, it was also seeing it with a crowd that made it into an entirely new experience. The movie drew a lot more laughs (good ones) that I didn't see coming. Laughs especially at some of the more clever dialogue.Brian O'Rourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372815069471434698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-13515935541798982432009-07-02T02:21:14.501-04:002009-07-02T02:21:14.501-04:00Brian, I really appreciate the list.

I remember the aesthetic much more than the plot, except for one sequence that it would be spoilerish to even talk about. I will have to give this a relook soon.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-31240027632728050892009-07-01T13:25:53.720-04:002009-07-01T13:25:53.720-04:00Against Beastmaster, yes.

I was a bit thrown when I found out, because Welsh words usually have at least 3 y's in them.Brian O'Rourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372815069471434698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723168018243827797.post-45796905863386462012009-07-01T13:18:12.407-04:002009-07-01T13:18:12.407-04:00Hm.
