how rare is it that new movies come out that I am excited about?

First there was a preview for a Ben Stiller movie about the Museum of Natural History where the animals come alive at night (forgot the name), and now this from boing boing:

"Today is Nikola Tesla's 150th anniversary. Tesla invented radio and alternating current, set the world's record for man-made lightning and could make the pigeons of Central Park do his bidding. He remains one of my all-time heroes.

10 July 2006 marks what would be the 150th birthday of the great inventor Nikola Tesla. For those who could make it, Tesla is immortalized as a statue at Niagara, New York depicting the master of lighting; a Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia; and he is featured on the Serbian 100 dinar banknote. For those who cannot reach such exotic locales, later this year a movie by Christopher Nolan (who really should be working on a follow up to "Batman Begins") will depict David Bowie as the good Mr Tesla."

!! One of my heroes too. He wanted to broadcast electricity through the air but lost out to Edison.
