Sorry, couldn’t help it. But as I say of Miranda July’s The Future in my review for MSN Movies, the artist’s problem isn’t so much twee as it is dink. Also under consideration this week, Cowboys and Aliens. To paraphrase an old Talking Heads song, had a fair amount of fun, could have been a lot better. Soon to post: The Smurfs.To quote an old David Byrne/Brian Eno song, help me somebody.

Is it OK that I’m perversely excited for your Smurfs review (which I presume will be a pan)?
I am in no way pale, Glenn.
Though I like me certain pale auteurs a whole bunch

I haven’t seen THE FUTURE, and I mostly like Miranda July, but that above still from the film makes me hate the world, for some reason.
I did that on purpose!
