good news for people who like shitty movies

Interesting balance of events this weekend. On the one hand I allowed myself to attend a showing of Hellboy. A serious mistake, and one that I hope I can help others avoid. On the other hand, I got the new Modest Mouse in the mail several days before it hit shelves (thank you Sony Music) and it's quite good. Lots of recurring themes lyrically, nice integration of horns and keyboards, strings (always good), and the Isaac Brock growl that I have come to know and love.
