Heh.
Incidentally, "surprisingly watchable" is a pretty good description of Across the Universe.
I was prepared to hate it going in, but it's actually quite an estimable piece of work.

It doesn't suck. Believe it or not, I came out of the theater thinking gee, Julie Taymor kind of IS a theatrical genius.
Your opinion carries some weight, I'll stop actively avoiding it. K?
BTW, the NYTimes piece today about the lawsuit between Taymor and the producers of the Spiderman musical -- complete with scabrous stuff about a drunken Bono -- is pretty darn funny.
Peter, I heartily agree. I don't know what Izzard was thinking.
