Butterfly Effect, sitting for democracy, doing Toronto, and *mancy!

Just watched The Butterfly Effect, and thought it was pretty good. Good (thought not original) concept, nifty special effects, good soundtrack, and I thought Kutcher was a good fit for the part--not the Funny Man he often plays, but a gawky college student struggling to deal with a barely-comprehensible situation. (I'll admit I wasn't thrilled by the final resolution, but I suppose it fit.)

I pointed out that he could buy a package starting at $99, which might help.. :D
