Well, nuts
Here I'm barely over my fit of pique for having missed "The Illusionist," and I already have reason to regret my almost-certain missing of "The Prestige." To wit:
"The Prestige," directed by Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins"), stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as magicians in turn-of-the-century London. The two begin a game of one-upmanship that draws blood -- and worse. Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie (playing Nikola Tesla) also star.
David Bowie as Tesla. Yes.

Small towns...
I've lived in a one-theater town. You either move fast or forget about seeing it. (Two days on weekday runs, three for weekends...) Netflix is a great gift to people in small communities.
We finally lost that theater. Now we drive to Ludington to see a movie. 20+ miles.
Reminds me of when I was in Del Rio, a VERY small town in far south Texas. While walking around a small mall, we came to an empty space. There were notes and requests all over the glass, begging B. Dalton to return. The closest bookstore was 100+ miles.
Again, the Internet is mostly a gift to people who live on the edge of suburbian America....
