miscellaneous media update
Nov. 11th, 2005 11:13 pmKiss Kiss Bang Bang is *hilarious*. It's not so much anything that happens (though there are a couple of wacky slapstick scenes), it's the totally insane dialogue. Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. have the most hyped-up banter I've ever seen. Seriously, it makes Sorkin's writing seem like ... I don't know, like the work of some writer who's known for being really slow and ponderous. It has a convoluted plot and narrative structure, but those really don't even matter, 'cause it's just hyper and cracked out and *funny*.
And also, I just finished reading The World Before, by Karen Traviss. ( VERY spoilery discussion follows )
