just my $.02

Today I blew off an afternoon of homework and housecleaning and finally watched The Prestige. (If you haven't seen it yet please stop reading...I hate spoilers.) Considering that Greys Anatomy recently did a two part "shocker" where Meredith was under water for a good 15 minutes, subsequently remained "dead" for over an hour, and survived unscathed with mental faculties intact... I was a little skeptical of the drowning of the wife/assistant. CPR wasn't officially practiced until the 1950's but it was recommended as early 1740. One would think that these guys would know something about it,being that drowning was one of the major risks of that trick. I realize that she needed to die to facilitate the rivalry, but whatever, it annoyed me anyway. I have way too many questions left unanswered- Where was Angier disposing of his dead doubles? Why didn't Borden just tell his wife the truth? What was she going to tell Olivia? If she knew already, why did she hang herself? Who knew Edison was gangsta? And ladies, I still have no idea what you see in Christian Bale. I thought this movie would be the clincher. Nope. The only trick successfully pulled off by him was that of The Disappearing Upper Lip. Hugh Jackman however was delicious. And let us not ignore the too brief appearance of the coolest man on the planet-Mr. Bowie. The movie sufficed for a gloomy afternoon of slacking but I doubt I'll be watching it again.
