In the lab and getting stuff together for a fencing competition tomorrow. I think that's reasonable ;)
ETA, because I'm obnoxious, have a Pogues tune.

Finally got round to watching the director's commentary from GI Joe. I have one question - do Paramount executives go around kicking puppies in their spare time, because it's about the only thing on a par with upsetting Stephen Sommers. Yes, the guy with the single most upbeat director's commentaries you ever heard is annoyed at them. Mostly because they kept interfering in really obscure ways, like trying to stop Snake Eyes from having a mask!
Yeah, I don't know what Paramount were smoking either.
I love that both SS and Bob Ducasy apologise for spoiling the film, and hope that people watch it before the commentary.
The film's production appears to have suffered from everything that could have gone wrong did.
Apparently Joseph Gordon-Levitt ended up being a nano-tech geek because of this.
I love how SS and BD are both willing to criticise shots in the final film and how willing they are to give credit for good ideas to other people.
Apparently they have just taken to casting people who are not expensive and people who they are likely to get on with. And people whose son's demanded they do it (Dennis Quaid).
