An excellent question, JR. After watching the film I can definitely
report - - - I have no idea! I really couldn't follow the intricacies
of the plot, mainly because I didn't want to expend any grey matter
over any of it. I did take a short nap about 60 minutes into the film
for about 10 minutes so I might have missed something there. Bottom
line -- I'm way to old to "get" any of this -- the effects seemed okay
and the cast was better than usual. . . I would rather have been
watching something like Truffaut's FAHRENHEIT 451 or maybe THE SPY WHO
CAME IN FROM THE COLD with Richard Burton, or maybe CHARADE with Audrey
Hepburn and Cary Grant, or even, THE PINK PANTHER (the original of
course). You get the picture!

movie any good? You failed to mention anything about that.

I went to see it last night (Friday) -- theater was packed at 5 PM in
the largest house at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. Frankly, I
hadn't a clue what the movie was about but I was shocked at the masses
of people trying to buy tickets for the film which was repeatedly sold
out in all of the auditoriums. The movie opened HUGE with
$44,000,000.
on the opening day. I suspect there will be some records broken by
the
end of this holiday weekend!
