Bah, you aren't joking. You believe that don't you? If I threw holy water on you, you'd probably start steaming!

City of Lost Children is pretty cool. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is definitely a talented filmmaker. He's hit or miss, but when he hits, it's worth it.

Ditto. I must say I really love Roger Ebert's take on 2001 which he sums up well in these two sentences:
What Kubrick had actually done was make a philosophical statement about man's place in the universe, using images as those before him had used words, music or prayer. And he had made it in a way that invited us to contemplate it -- not to experience it vicariously as entertainment, as we might in a good conventional science-fiction film, but to stand outside it as a philosopher might, and think about it.
