So, since it looks like I am The Man Without A Broadband Connection until I return home (at least, the sort of broadband connection in a situation that would let me, oh, play CoH), I am stuck watching movies here at the hotel (after I eat sumptuous dinners, of course).<\/p>\n

So …<\/p>\n

Votes for (a) which movie I should <\/em>watch, and (b) which movie I will <\/em>watch on Wednesday night:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Fantastic Four:<\/em> Well, heck, it’s a comic book movie, and one I’m not likely to see any time soon outside of a hotel stay.\n
  2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:<\/em> A book I liked, and Johnny Depp. Kitten has expressed an interest.\n
  3. War of the Worlds:<\/em> Though not a Tom Cruise fan, I’m certainly a fan of the story. And it’s not something I’m liable to buy for home.\n
  4. Batman Begins:<\/em> Never saw this, but suggested by a number of friends.\n
  5. Sin City:<\/em> Bruce Willis. Frank Miller. More violence (one assumes) than Margie would care for. Hmmmm …\n
  6. Sky High:<\/em> Apparently fun, even if a PS238 rip-off — but Katherine is very interested, which implies we’ll be either buying it or borrowing it sometime.\n
  7. Mr. and Mrs. Smith:<\/em> A novel conceit, but I saw a copy at the Testerfolks the other day, so I’m able to borrow it — if it actually occurs to me to do so (and presuming they consent).\n
  8. Constantine:<\/em> Oh, wait, I watched that last night.<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
