    Dont' forget Mr. Bean

    Speaking of using video cameras as a surrogate for seeing, I thought the film that's done that in the most witty and effective way was "Mr. Bean's Holiday." In that film, Bean uses his camera with such brilliant naivete that it ends up being truly subversive. I've seen previews of Cloverleaf and been completely turned off. A bunch of self-absorbed yuppies in million dollar apartments are menaced by a sea monster. How can help not rooting for the monster?
