The Many Faces Of Bartleby

• disillusioned angel from Kevin Smith's "Dogma."
• friendly rat creature from Jeff Smith's graphic novel "Bone," which I'd recommend to anyone: Lord of the Rings with the Funny left in.
• title character from Herman Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener."

Which one did you hear of first? Till a week ago, the only Bartleby I'd heard of was the Ben Affleck version. Dogma is one of my absolute favourite movies, and Kevin Smith one of my favourite directors. Personally, I think he's a better screenwriter than a director, having a deft gift for dialogue and comedic timings. He's brought us Jay&SilentBob (and their alter egos Bluntman and Chronic), Buddy!Christ, Hooper X, and frankly, in my opinion, the entire View Askewniverse rocks. So a big fat round of applause for Kevin Smith. Woo!

Might go check out Caribana tomorrow, and maybe see The Village as well. Thank God for the lack of mock MCAT's tomorrow!

- bye!
