It was interesting, to me how they unreliable-narrator-spun that whole thing. I forget who it was who said that Vanko Sr. was in it for the money. I believe it was Fury. There's this whole thing in the movie--and I think it's a rich enough text that you can read it different ways, rather than "Here is the moral" about the military-industrial-complex. But my real point, relative to tommyrot's point, is one of motive, which I am mangling my memory of Edison vs. Tesla on, and can't comment.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

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.

Look, all I know is that Tesla isn't a vampire anymore.

I just saw Wall-E for the first time this morning. My, what an utterly sweet and charming film!! Even the fat blobs ended up being sweet and charming (loved the couple hooking up, and the woman saying to the man, "John, we're going to have kids!" when the nursery slid into them).

Yes! Which was a faint echo of Wall-E's joy of flying through space to the Axiom ship.

Is it just me or does Prince of Persia look like a *really* bad movie.

Some of my co-workers saw it in preview at the studio and most said it was just "ok" but they also thought that Iron Man 2 was "just ok". YMMV There's something about JG's jaw that bugs me in the movie where it usually doesn't...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It was a fun game. Doesn't explain why they made a movie out of it, or failed to cast actual Persian people.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes, but I'm going to see it.
