i sure wish that there had been some sign earlier in the movie that something besides a murder case was going on. that part was not revealed until like 80% of the way through, by which point i had lost interest and fast forwarded through a lot of the details.
i think i heard that vanilla sky was based on this movie. if that is the case, then i can suddenly understand why people kept recommending vanilla sky while only describing it as a movie about a good-looking guy who gets disfigured. what are they going to do, give away the twist? giving away that there is a twist almost gives away the twist.
so anyway, i can understand the problem, but i disapprove of every member in the set of all possible solutions. it is like designing your own proprietary encryption scheme and then depending on secrecy to prevent it from being broken. mmm hmm. word.

scott pilgrim vs the world
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446029/
scott pilgrim does for video games what sin city did for comic books. it was extremely cool from the perspective of seeing how they translated video game concepts like leveling up (character development) and progressively tougher bosses (that one was easy, they just got progressively tougher) into a movie. i think they did a great job of doing those translations, but i hasten to add that that does not mean i approve of doing them. the overall effect was entertaining since it is the first time i am seeing it, but it would become grating in a hurry.
i also learned a new word from this movie. "hasbien." you figure it out.
