Gah! I popped over to say thanks for the comment on the Beautiful Girls review, and the first thing I saw was your headline for The International. It was just funny because I have the review of that film for Pajiba this weekend, and I religiously avoid reading other reviews in those situations.
Thanks for the shout — viva Pajiba!
