I saw *12 Monkeys* last week and found it entertaining enough. I didn't know going in that it had been "inspired" (I think was the term) by Chris Marker's *La Jetee*. Oddly enough (for me at least) I much preferred the French film. It has an experimental edge to it that 12 Monkeys doesn't. There's certainly a publishable paper in comparing the two. I must say, however, that Brad Pitt is astounding in this film. How he is able to sustain the level of high energy insanity that he does is truly amazing. I think its his best film yet. I wonder if anyone out there would second that? ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
