The reviews haven't been as positive as I'd hoped (fyi I liked Truman Show, but not as much as many others. IMO humor & fantasy aren't Weir's strong suits.) I kind of get the impression Weir is more of a hired gun here than he was on other pictures? Also I have enuf of a problem w/ authority that even when Shakespeare talks about How Authority Works (and he talks about it a lot & I love Shakespeare) I back off some. I'm sure I'll like the film. Speaking of Shakespeare, and since I can't talk about Robyn's shows, I just saw the Folgier Theatre's production of "All's Well That Ends Well." They did a good job, making it seem like a dark comedy w/ out making it postmodern. Scratch off one more Shakespeare play I'd never seen performed.

I couldn't agree more. I loved Barclay. He was my favorite character on Next Generation after Picard. I was nice to see a normal dork on the Enterprise. I was really excited when Barclay showed up in First Contact. Plus he was played by the Murdock from the A-Team. Also I believe a fellow feg has a Barclay action figure. Neelix and Kes were far far lamer.
