Luke, I Am Your Intermission. . . It[base ']s modern in all respects but one[^]there[base ']s an intermission in the film. I[base ']d read this online a few months ago, and didn[base ']t really believe that it was true.
And yet, during a tense scene between Kiera Knightley and Chow Yun Fat (that[base ']s not a spoiler as far as I[base ']m concerned), while Kiera (who[base ']s beautiful, but always looks like she has too many teeth for her mouth) was in mid-line, the film stopped. The screen displayed one groovy graphic that read [base "]Intermission[per thou], and most of the audience wandered outside. . . The intermission seemed more or less randomly selected. Or, maybe it[base ']s stipulated that it[base ']s exactly two-thirds of the way through the film. In any case, it struck me as utterly ridiculous. . . [

I took Willy to see the flick the day after it opened at a special IBM-only showing (we filled two of fourteen theaters at the big multiplex). There's no intermission. I wish there was; it's way too long.
