the fast and the furious: tokyo drift
to this we would only add that we spent the month after seeing it trying to make our bicycle drift. it works best in the rain.
the devil wears prada (20th century fox,2006)
a movie “directed” be hbo hack david frankel an d shot the previously b-unit leading follorian ballhaus son of once great sell-out michael, devil struck us as ingularly inept at shooting clothes. while the film emplots a redemptive tail of the fashion industry, and not fashion, we were still annoyed though not surprised. we would have been happier with either beautiful garments or garments filmed badly as a form of critique, but could not accept poorly shot dull clothing presented as alluring. it made us sad that, due to their deaths, neither mizoguchi kenji
or joseph von sternberg
were available to helm the film.

pirates of the caribbean dead man’s chest (disney, 2005):
no doubt it would be possible to continue the analysis of the trilogy’s allegory of global capital, but since the narrative and dialogue was largely improvised by verbinsky, depp, and harris in the spirit of fun, (and a $225,000,000 investment should be fun) we prefer imaging the palpable retardation of the moment when johnny said, “lets put me on a fruit kebab, it’ll be like the state fair!” now, if you'll excuse us, dear reader, we've got to go play our sea organ with our face tentacles.
