The other big takeaway moment from the movies this year: Johnny Depp's entrance as Captain Jack Sparrow in The Pirates of the Carribean. Alec, I know you're partial to The Third Man but this is my favorite entrance of any character in film.

Speaking of Pirates (which i just resaw), I think I will add to our list of datability movie criteria (e.g. Alec's anyone worthwhile would like Casablanca, Nat's "anyone who didn't like Being John Malkovich wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor), is that any girl worthwhile prefers Captain Jack Sparrow to Will Turner.
