Just built and played a sneak of "What Planet Are You From?" and thought I'd give a heads up. In the begining of the movie there are some scrolling words along with the opening narration. The worlds scroll from the center to the top...not like credits (bottom to top).Just thought I'd throw that in since it kinda looks like you're out of frame when you're really not, and I know how anal we all are about that here.
BTW...hillarious movie, loved it.

Yeah, we ran a sneak of, "What Planet Are You From?" last night (Sat.) Got a big yawn from the audience. They could stay and see, "Hanging Up," which didn't make them much happier since it's not so great either.Our big money-maker last night was, "Whole Nine Yards." I liked, "Pitch Black"; it's cheapie sci-fi. I watched it from the port window when I could. If you go see it expecting nothing, you'll get more than you thought.

I thought Pitch Dark had some interesting "lighting" effects during the different sun's shinning. Otherwise I think your assessment is pretty much on. I was thinking of taking a vacation in Australia, but if they have bugs like, that I ain't goin

Greg: LOL!I loved the movie (ignoring the technical glitch I described in another post). If you liked Starship Troopers, you'd like this one too, though less bug juice. What appealed to me was the lack of "name" stars, so you haven't a clue who is gonna survive. Less predictable that way. And you are right, John: Have no expectations (I was clueless going into the movie, being dragged there by friends) and it's a wild ride.

Greg:Yes, Pitch Black's sun scorched scenes were dones via dunking the film stock in bleach! Turned out pretty damn good too, IMHO
