jacob spent too much money on virgins today... or something... check his post (below) for the details.

i, on the other hand, saw moulin rouge. it was good. i declare four stars. go see it. i feel too tired to talk about it, but here's my thoughts: it builds a world from scratch, and uses that world to stage a really simplistic love story, using a curious technique. this technique is like the film equivalent to a mix tape, using someone else's words and music to express the emotion of the story. the songs sung by the characters and screaming through the movie are mostly pop songs, with a few classical musical numbers thrown in for good measure. you get big band versions of 80s pop songs, and you get techno versions of traditional musical-style numbers. all this in a completely home-brewed, stylized, insane and delightful Paris circa 1900. and everything was built on soundstages in australia. The film makes no bones about being fabricated. it's operatic and grand. the sets are extravagant. the editing is ridiculous. this movie LOVES BEING A MOVIE!

so you should see it.
