I can't believe I've seen this movie three times already <*is kind of embarrassed*>. I haven't done that since I was a teenager first getting a car-- I think I saw Return of the Jedi three or four times in the movie theatre.

I think your point 1) is the main reason for the success of this movie. So many ways that could have been an epic fail.

As for music, I bought the entire sound track from the iTunes store, but if you don't want to spend $9.99 on getting the whole thing, I'd recommend just getting the last two tracks, To Boldly Go and the End Credits. While To Boldly Go is only 30 seconds long, it leads directly into the End Credits. Without it it starts awkwardly and abruptly. The end credits cover most of the major themes in the movie. Objectively the sound track isn't fantastic, but it does it's job in the movie very well, and I really liked it.

I will probably get the whole soundtrack eventually, but thank you, that's excellent advice :)

"1. I really am in awe of how brilliantly the main cast pulls off inhabiting the characters without resorting to mimicry. IMO Karl Urban's performance is amazing -- omg Cupid! Caesar! Hero of Rohan! -- and yet I totally believed him as the world weary, slightly broken hearted country doctor. Fantastic ( ... )

I was really surprised that at a matinee, three weeks in, the theater was about 3/4 full!

(Send your friend off to watch the Hercules eps where KU plays Cupid. That'll be a real eye-opener.)

Cupid? Oh my. I may have to track those down.

Watching The Trouble with Tribbles when I should be asleep.
