If you get the chance, go out and rent Spike Lee's Inside Man. It's pretty good. In some ways it's your standard heist movie. It's formulaic, but Lee nails the formula. And, strangely, it ends up being about war restitution. Who knew? And that Denzel Washington; he can act. So can Clive Owen.
I know that some readers of nofencesfacin' have professed admiration for the most recent winner of American Idol. Now, I didn't watch much of American Idol, so I may have missed something there, but from what I can tell, especially from the incessant new Ford commercials, is that this guy has a spasmic dance that is apparently his trademark. Does this remind anyone else of Elaine's dancing on Seinfeld? Didn't it make one of the characters want to vomit? Same here. Is this doofus the best America has to offer? Maybe we elect American Idols like we elect Presidents . . .

Actually, some numbers suggest that more of us elect Idols than presidents. Surprise, surpise.
i agree with you about 'inside man'. actually quite a good movie and made me love clive owen (which i hadn't before). obviously denzel is awesome too.
I enjoyed _Inside Man_, myself. Lisa, I must warn you that while Clive is very handsome, he is not so bright. (Apparently I want both, and I have found Mr. Owen most disappointing in interviews.)
And I'm trying to right the world by voting in political elections, but not for Idols.
