Da Bruckheimer Code

So I saw National Treasure tonight. I'm forced to admit that it wasn't nearly as wretched as I'd feared. In fact, it was pretty darn decent, saved in no small part by the fact that it's hilarious. And like all good conspiracy theories, it paid meticulous attention to historical facts while it wove a totally implausible tale around then. Keep an eye out for the word-for-word, shot-for-shot homage to Indiana Jones, too.

Speaking of history, I've always thought that the ancestral home of the Whiddens ought to look a lot like Gormenghast.

Need to find myself something to do for the weekend. Is a drinking buddy really so much to ask for?
