NYC update: At the movies
You know, sometimes it's easy to forget that I live in, more or less, the center of the universe. Check out this blurb on the weekend movie takes from CNN:
Warner Bros. also had terrific results for its limited-release debut of "Syriana," whose ensemble cast includes George Clooney and Matt Damon in a thriller centered on the oil industry. The film took in a whopping $372,147 in five theaters over the weekend and $553,372 since Wednesday. "Syriana" goes into nationwide release December 9.
Five theaters? How many times do you hear that about a movie you've already seen?
(For the record, I did see it, I enjoyed it, and the theater was so packed I thought I would pass out before it was over. Fascinating movie though.)

Oh I want to see that!
By the way I like the new blog style.

I highly recommend it. I actually found the Angelika pretty hot and stuffy, but I guess that only adds to the atmosphere. The movie was good and raised a lot of issues I don't often consider on a neat topic. And the scenery was great. A little too conspiracy theory-ish for me, but not too bad. Go see it.
Good luck on finals too.
