On Pins and Needles

Our would-be sellers have until 8 PM tonight to accept, counter, or (gulp!) reject our offer, and they're using every single minute of that time. It's been hard to concentrate on much of anything today ...

Film Corner: While we were in Germany, America wasn't doing much to live up to its Colossus-of-the-entertainment-world status, film-wise: we were served up with six months of lousy movies. Hollywood seems to be making up for it during the last part of the year, though. Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow may turn out to have no plot at all, but its visual style -- like General Motors' Futurama mixed with a stack of 1920s and 30s issues of Popular Mechanics magazine -- looks like enough to let me forgive it for almost anything. The Last Shot looks interesting, too.

And then there's The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou -- December can't come too soon!
