DOLPHINS ARE DUMBER THAN RATS. Vindicated!!!! Take that, hippies of the sea!

…In other news, “I Walked with a Zombie” is awesome; “Cat People” is excellent; “Curse of the Cat People” isn’t my thing, but if you’re into this kind of storybook/sensitive/childhood thing I can see why you’d like it; and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl” kind of sucks. …And as long as I’m telling you about my Netflix adventures, “The Testament of Dr Mabuse” is fantastic, though I don’t think I would have picked up on the political subtext if I hadn’t known it was there; “The Changeling” was lame (ooh, punny); “Do the Right Thing” has problems, and is a lot less ambiguous than I think it was intended to be, but nonetheless rocked my world, I loved it stupidly and it felt real; “Little Caesar” was perfectly serviceable; and “Forbidden Planet” was wild and creepy and shakily surreal. (I’m much more an expressionist than a surrealist, despite my love for the horror artist Magritte; but yeah, “Forbidden Planet” was lovely.)
