So, you know another movie I'm kind of keen on seeing is this three-hour long epic Thai flick- The Legend of Suriyothai. I'm actually totally serious- besides the fact it's supposed to be really good, I saw a lot of the places that are "shown" in the movie and heard a bit about the legend while in Thailand. But then I read the review in the San Francisco Bay Guardian and I'm thinking maybe it's not worth seeing. Apparently, as good as the movie might be, it's a bit a failure because it has "only the faintest whiff of dialectical thinking about royal history."

Damit. I hate it when some movie doesn't get into dialetcial thinking about royal history.
