Are they advertising that heavily everywhere? Or do they think we Times readers are especially likely to want to see Farrell's micro-range of acting skills? Oh, wait, maybe it's that they know Baltar reads the Times and they want to make sure he doesn't miss the new film, seeing how he loved that other Colin Farrell movie so much.

I can't imagine seeing it, though it's possible. But only on video.

Posted by: moon at February 20, 2006 10:19 AM | PERMALINKActually a fair number of critics have liked it - and a lot of the blog uber-film geeks (I mean cinephiles) have absolutely loved it.
But yeah, I don't get that level of advertising either - and it's been going on for weeks.
