'Out Of Gas'
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.
Why didn't anyone warn me how bad it was? Oh, right, they did. Jude "box office poison" Law.
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.
Aw, I liked Sky Captain. It was all corny and steampunkish and pretty!

OK, that makes sense.
I kept on thinking things like, "There's no way a P-40 could dive vertically into the water without it being destroyed and the pilot killed. Plus the giant flying aircraft carriers make no sense."
But otherwise I lied the steampunkishness and cornyness of it....
steampunkishness
Pfft. A clear instance of Diesel Punk.
I liked Sky Captain too!
I wanted Sky Captain femslash.

I want examples of Angelina Jolie's character in cosplay.
I enjoyed Sky Captain for what it was. I think the big screen helped. I vaguely recall being disappointed by the ending.
