Clearly I am in dire need of culture. People on my flist keep going on about “The End of FMA” and I keep squealing “Yes! The House killed the Federal Marriage Amendment, falling 49 votes short of the 2/3 majority needed to pass! A triumph of civil rights!”

Clearly, I need to get out more. :D

Well, in fact, Ko, M, and I did get out last night! We saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which was so insanely fabulous there are no words. Catching up on my Film History reading assignments this weekend, I have been longing for that delicious soft-focus black and white film noir look, and now my great and tooby dreams have been answered! Ko summarized her feelings with the phrase “dirigible loff!“, which I feel sums it up quite well.

Man, I adored this movie. The cheesy dialogue, the delicious lighting, the really obvious featherline bluescreen residue, the crazy CG backgrounds… and Jude Law and Angelina Jolie don’t hurt either. The only thing that really bothered me was the thing with the assassin. I had convinced myself so thoroughly over the course of the movie of what her involvement in the project had been that I was shocked when Ko reminded me after the film was over that it had ended differently. Hah.

And now, Ko and I must go off and do our College Democrat Hall Captain duties, making sure that 6 floors of Hamilton kids are registered to vote. Man, I really need to make that parody. “Hall Captains and the Electorate of Tomorrow!”, or something else that’s funnier.
