Aw, I liked Sky Captain. It was all corny and steampunkish and pretty!
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Polly Perkins was really a nihilistic saboteur who was undermining Joe Sullivan at every turn and trying to wipe out all life on earth.
OK, that makes sense.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I wanted Sky Captain femslash.
I want examples of Angelina Jolie's character in cosplay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I enjoyed Sky Captain for what it was. I think the big screen helped. I vaguely recall being disappointed by the ending.

move out and draw fire
I wanted a great-looking steampunk/1920s-1930s/pulp thing. And it was. Except the story was so bad it kept killing my enjoyment.
And the style of the pulp kept changing.
