as studios keep sending production out of the country, they keep trying to get more protection under the law. nice racket.

i forgot to share my review of bubble boy: brilliant. it's one of those films that has the nearly perfect balance of not selling itself short and not taking itself too seriously. there's a number of laugh-out-loud funny lines (particularly from the mom, played by swoosie kurtz), and the whole movie has a surprisingly aggressive sense of humor. (and marley shelton could pass for heather graham's sister. it's almost eerie.) i also now regret not having seen zach galifianakis's show on vh1, since he's really funny in his small role.
