BEST. MOVIE. EVER.
spoiler warning
Went to see SKYCAPTAIN and the WORLD OF TOMORROW last night. Someone in Hollywood said to himself, “Hmmm. Let’s make a film that has in it exactly the things John Wright likes.” “Sir? Should we include giant flying aircraft carriers, Zepplins docking at the Empire State building, and an homage to the mechanical monsters from an early Max Fleisher SUPERMAN cartoon?” “Does Wright like ’em? Put them in.” “Heroes trapped in a radioactive mine? Mysterious oriental lost races? Dinosaurs! He like dinosaurs. Ninja robots!! Ornithopters! Do we have space to fit in a burrowing machine, or Godzilla?” “No room to stick that it, but make a passing reference to it.” “What about a hero who has a private army for hire?” “Aw, hell, Jones, stick it all in. And I think we can do a better Loise Lane than the last eight SUPERMAN movies, don’t you?” “Right-O, sir!”
