Sunday: no investment research today

Instead, I'd reveal a shameful thing that I experienced today. The thing is called "Hot Fuzz", the movie, and it's the best movie I've seen in a while. Maybe on par with "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", not sure, need to watch it few more times.

What so shameful then? Few things: half-empty movie theater, for starters. Especially, in comparison with "Spiderman 3". And that's the second shameful thing: when it will come to grading movies, be it Oscar or anything like it, Spiderman will come on top, and Hot Fuzz will hardly be mentioned. Add all of the media, obsessed with "opening weekend" figures, what a shame.

The only measure of movie quality, except for it's entertainment value (across multiple demographics, like in our case, we went there the whole family of us and we shared the enjoyment), quality of work performed on all levels: from brilliant story, intricate scenario, meticulous screenplay (oh, my, how I loved all those "little" details intentionally brought into focus!), dynamic camera work, etc... almost forgot actor's performance, doh! The only measure should be "sustained performance": it would be measuring how slowly movie proceeds decrease from the date of release.
