‘Pirates’ preview
Intrepid intern Sarah Frank is just back from the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” preview. She reports that it does the job as a summer blockbuster and features such icky monsters she had to avert her eyes. Sounds pretty cool.
Meanwhile, Slate has a piece on another highly anticipated film (especially in Austin), “A Scanner Darkly.” Writes Joshua Glenn: “In (Richard) Linklater’s ‘Scanner,’ that is to say, audiences may finally catch a glimpse — even if through a glass darkly — of the director’s own paradoxical worldview, one in which slacking is not only a form of political activism but the only possible activism.”
