Please tell me that that trailer is not representative of the film.

"Recording studio sequences and/or prominent soundtrack advertisement" - well it is a musical. ;)

'Once' has been getting very good reviews.

I liked it....though sleeper is the right word.

Glen Hansard's band, The Frames, is awesome. They put on a really good show.

I almost saw "Once" last week, but wound up seeing "Hot Fuzz" instead (which was screamingly funny and highly recommended for anyone who liked "Shaun of the Dead"). I might have to catch it tonight.
