Commentary

I’ve fixed a bug in the comment system where, when you hit “Post,” the main page reloaded in the popup window. Now the window will reload just the comment listing. If you have any problems, let me know. Eventually I’ll suck it up and take the time to upgrade to MovableType 3.2–that, or pay someone more experienced to do it for me.

Of course, it now falls to me to produce content worth commenting on.

Some weeks ago I promised a review of V for Vendetta, but I’ve decided I’d rather not do full-length reviews. I don’t feel particularly qualified to provide the sort of movie reviews I’d like to–that would require a master’s degree in film and at least one viewing of The Godfather. So instead, I’ll just offer a few pithy comments on the various movies, books, and games I encounter.

Today I finally started reading The Da Vinci Code. I reached page seventeen before deciding it was time to fix the commenting system. Perhaps the book’s overexposure has made reading it seem like less of a pleasure and more of a formality to be observed prior to seeing the movie. That said, the book does seem interesting already; I just find my attention tends to wander in the late afternoon and early evening.

More to come soon, including, perhaps, some new fiction.
