Sorry I've been gone so long...

If you want to know why, maybe I'll tell you some day. Let's just say that real life can be a bitch and when you find out about a family member's mental illness, it puts everything else on the back burner.

Anyhoo, there was a lively discussion at Lawyers, Guns, and Money about the death of the action scene. FX happened to be broadcasting The Transporter 2 tonight, and while that example of Jason Statham's oeuvre may be lackluster in parts, it does feature excellent action sequences, shot and edited with a real eye to flow, relationships, and perspective.

Also, saw Mongol last week. It's another entry in my "just because it's foreign doesn't mean it's good" file.
