Not snarkworthy at all

All of a sudden I'm hearing the most amazing things about a new film called The Artist. It looks like the offspring of A Star Is Born and Singin' in the Rain (just look at that first shot -- even the year is the same!). It's supposed to have a limited opening in a couple of weeks, but as usual, it's proving difficult to find details of exactly what "limited" means. I'm hoping it includes the D.C. area, because I really want to see it!
