I had a really hard time suspending disbelief, because it was <em>nothing</em> like WV. It does not snow that much there, first of all. There are no big flat expanses of pasture, just hills and narrow valleys. It does not freeze long or hard enough to create a giant block of ice full of body parts. And I have never seen an indoor swimming pool there.

Also, I have seen about 1.4 episodes of The X Files, and didn't see the first movie, but "Scruffy! Evil! Speaking Russian!" Callum Keith Rennie is very enticing! Iron Man, Iron Man, Iron Man!!

I *love* its evocation of 1970s paranoia/heist films like <i>Three Days of the Condor</i>, and I adore Petit's blithe craziness. I'm so glad you got to see it!
