Good stuff

Life is a lark at Willow Grove Park. Oh, the memories... the fun house. The bumper cars. The shooting galleries. The icky-sticky pink cotton candy. And, of course, that giant wooden roller coaster.

So it is with much anticipation that today I snap up Thrillville for the Xbox in an attempt to re-create the joyful innocence of my youth.

Definitely will catch The Fountain today or tomorrow.

Wired's Steve Silberman has written an interesting article on The Fountain's director, Darren Aronofsky. I thoroughly enjoyed his first flick, Pi, made for a paltry $60,000.

Update - Watched The Fountain yesterday. The statement the director makes is one I already believe in... death is an act of creation, hence, death is an act of life. So, in that respect, the film didn't take me anyplace I hadn't been before. That said, it did spark my curiosity about Mayan culture. Detailed review here.
