#18 -- You're right, quite a bit of that movie was fictional. So to say "I learned a fair bit about an important moment in US political history" on the basis of having seen the movie doesn't make too much sense.
Adventureland was cute and sweet.
I'm seeing Sin Nombre tonight. I have the feeling that "cute and sweet" are not the words for it.
I thought Adventureland was good, compared to other movies in the theater right now.
I saw Twilight recently and I have to admit, though it's probably cheesy emotional-porn-esque for adolescent girls, I found it somewhat mesmorizing. Maybe it was the main actor, Robert Pattinson (Harry Potter's Cedric Diggory).
I am looking forward to seeing him in the Dali/Lorca biopic Little Ashes soon.
