I know I said I was gone until Tuesday, but here is a Balloon Juice first:
Digby has a must read post up.
THis is by far the best euolgy to Brando I have read, and I learned a great deal.

I saw Mystic River last night, and there is no doubt in my mind that Sean Penn is one of the greatest American actors of all time.

I know it is wrong.
I know I would be outraged if Tom Cruise were in a film naked with a ten year old girl.
I know this is sick.
But how come I keep thinking, “Lucky bastard?”
Flame away.

I just saw Miracle, and it was genius. Kurt Russell didn’t so much portray Herb Brooks as become him.
If you do not know what Miracle is about, according to Missouri Democrats, it has nothing to do with the United States Hockey team coached by Herb Brooks winning Olympic gold against all odds in 1980. Nothing at all, indeed.

I just saw the most wonderful little movie. If you have not already, go rent Big Fish.
Of course, I cried. But it was still a sweet movie.

Finally got around to watching Lost in Translation this afternoon. and as predicted, I thought it was great.
Murray was hilarious, and overall the movie was sweet and tender and innocent and rather refreshing. No wonder no one in Hollywood like Sofia Coppola. There were no explosions, no T&A, and no graphic violence.
I have hear people claim they did not find the movie amusing or that it was boring or too long. If you thought it was boring or too long, and you did not understand the metaphor of the movie, then just understand one thing- Sofia Coppola just sneered at you for the last 90 minutes.

Wow!
Igby Goes Down was/is a great flick. Wish I had watched it earlier.
Back to your regularly scheduled weekend activities.
