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.

After scanning the Netflix offerings on Xbox for half an hour, looking for something we could watch with Mal that wouldn't make us want to gouge our own eyes out, we settled on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Why didn't anyone warn me how bad it was? Oh, right, they did. Jude "box office poison" Law.

Why didn't anyone warn me how bad it was?
I'd have warned you if I knew. So disappointing, and the filming technique made me feel like I was hallucinating it by the end--and hallucinating it wasn't an improvement.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The movie is actually much better if you see it from the viewpoint of that one critic who posited that Polly Perkins was really a nihilistic saboteur who was undermining Joe Sullivan at every turn and trying to wipe out all life on earth.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, I liked Sky Captain. It was all corny and steampunkish and pretty!
