finished:

• fww issue 165
• the vile village, book the 7th (lemony snicket) starting to get tedious, but still pretty amusing at this point. same orphans, same villain, same bad luck - but they're starting to make some progress.
  

started:

• fww issue 166
• the hostile hospital, book the 8th (lemony snicket)
  

watched:

• valiant (with voices by john cleese, ewan mcgregor, tim curry, jim broadbent.) amusing, solid renter - couple more watches will tell if it was a good buy tim curry still kicks ass as a bad bird.
  
• the brothers grimm (directed by terry gilliam - 'nough said) must must must watch again. i'm pretty sure that they crammed damn near every fairy tale they could in here. a quick look at the project gutenberg list for the brothers grimm book shows aprox 209 stories. i'm still sure they made at least oblique references to all of them.
• hidalgo (vigo on a horse, again! but this time it's a period piece) ok, i was surprised a little by this one. decent story line - based on a true story, but presented pretty realistically. solid renter, not sure i have the urge to see it a second time soon. the feel good ending is only slightly gooey.
