I really don't like the title "Flyboys."
Yeah, "Flyboys" evokes the World War II era to me more than WWI. Hey, why not just call it "Wings," which was about WWI fliers. They reuse famous old titles all the time.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Because the people expecting Thomas Haden Church and Tony Shaloub would be wicked disappointed?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
On the other hand, the people fearing Stephen Weber and those other people would be wicked relieved.

You mean they'd actually attend the movie anyway?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I taught Stephen Webber krav once or twice. Nice enough guy. Short as hell.

Because books.
Nice enough guy. Short as hell.
Really?! He always reads tall to me onscreen. He must have worked with some really short actresses.

Art Crawl!!!
He didn't seem short when I saw him on tv earlier this week. Those tv actors . . . and their apple boxes.
