I'm sure everyone's noticed that this is going to be Summer of the Sequel part III, the most prominant being Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End, and Shrek the Third.  The latter I had no intention of seeing, as CG films have lost a whole lot of their lustre for me.  However, because I was quite bored today, I broke down and finally watched Shrek 2.  It may have changed my mind about watching the Third.  Not because it was especially funny or that I was impressed by the animation [I quit caring], but because of the music.  If you can forgive the Counting Crows for not being good anymore and Chris Carrabba for crying in his beer, and can look past the songs that the director wanted to used ["Funky Town", "Livin' La Vida Loca"], then you've got a surprisingly indie soundtrack.  Eels, Tom Waits, Frou Frou, and a few others that I don't remember right now.  Then, thinking back to the first film you had Eels [again], Rufus Wainwright, and the Proclaimers.  This in mind, I may just be persuaded to check out the new one.
