Just watched the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine. As a child I romanticized and fantasized about one day having an Edwardian manor like the scientist's. So thrilled that it's finally come true.

Finally got around to watching The Blind Side. Paint by numbers sentimental stuff but saved by a great performance by Bullock. Her Oscar was totally deserved. All the rest of the leads were solid too.

Saw it twice already, tremendous fucking film. Also, he mentions Batman? Twice. I understand FOX made this film and they have the rights to X-Men of course, so to my knowledge they can't mention the Disney Marvel franchise at all, but Batman? Something fishy about that.

Duck Dogers, during a Green Lantern episode, made mention of Spider-Man. Plus, Deadpool's also a comedy. How is this out of the ordinary? Besides, Fox also distributes the Gotham TV series.

Funny Games (1997): Really solid Austrian psychological thriller. Haneke did a great job. There are a few moments of legitimate genius (that one super long take!). Haneke did a great job, although I'm not sure how I feel about the movie as a comment on media violence.

Have you seen the American version? It was also directed by Haneke. I've heard it's better than the original but I can't say since I've only seen the American.
