CROSSOVER!!!

So in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, there's a scene (I think it's even in the preview) where Javier Bardem's character invites Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (ScarJo) to his room "to make love to them." And the entire time, of course, I'm like, "NOOOO!!! DON'T GO!!! HE'LL KILL YOU WITH THE AIR PUMP GUN THING!!!!"

... but at least he changed his hair.

Oh, as for the movie? Loved it. Maybe Woody's best since Bullets over Broadway? It's certainly better than all his stuff in the new millennium, as fond as I am of Match Point and Scoop. VCB was hot and steamy, just like Barcelona is in real life. It really captured Spain perfectly, in that it's incredibly interesting and boring as shit all at once (no, really). The cast was fantastic, and I have to disagree that Penelope was head and shoulders above the others; they all rocked (save Patty Clarkson, who was totally boring).
