In news shocking to probably not many people, Roger Ebert prefers Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine to Michel Gondry's Green Hornet. Laurel pointed out the review to me a week ago, but I'm slow, so. Y'know. Sue me. It's pretty hilarious:

The director of this half-cooked mess is Michel Gondry, whose "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is as good as this one is bad. Casting about for something to praise, I recalled that I heard a strange and unique sound for the first time, a high-pitched whooshing scream, but I don't think Gondry can claim it, because it came from the hand dryers in the nearby men's room.

Well, you know. You gotta make a few popcorn flicks for The Man before you can go back to better arty films for yourself. Keep an eye out for The We and the I, an upcoming Gondry flick co-written by Paul Proch - Charlie's friend and sometime co-conspirator. IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND. I haven't seen it, cos it's not finished or anything, but IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND.
