Go and see The Prestige. Not only does if have Christian Bale *and* Hugh Jackman, it has David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla and Andy Serkis and black cats and plot and wow.

And it's got me thinking about whether it counts as suicide, if the person's still alive afterwards. Hugh says something like "I didn't know whether I'd be the man in the box of the one taking the bows" but, realistically, surely he's both? If the "new" person has all the memories, personality, talents etc of the old - is identical in every way - aren't they both the same person? So why does it matter *which* one dies?

Very impressed by Mr. Bale, as always, and very pleased to see dubious morality almost throughout :)

Also, The Departed. Much more humour than I'd expected for a Scorsese film. Who'd have thought it; DiCaprio can actually act. Shame I've got used to thinking about underworld villains as pretty anime men, though; Jack Nicholson & Ray Winstone don't quite have the same appeal...
