Saw _One_Battle_After_Another_, the whole family absolutely loved it. However, 2 pairs of people walked out of it, so it may be pretty polarizing (and we only had ~40 people in the theater, 4:40pm Sunday). Reminded me of Tarantino and Cohen Bros movies.

I didn't have high expectations for Spinal Tap II, but we just went to see it and all really, REALLY, enjoyed it. Also, I didn't expect to get much out of seeing it in IMAX, but I'd highly recommend it if you can.

This is an amazing HN discussion thread: "Reusing toilet paper rolls isn't sanitary." "If that's true, using your toothbrush is a bigger issue." "Usually you don't use your toothbrush while fondling your genitals." "You don't know what you are missing but to each their own i guess."
