BEST - FLESH - FOR - FRANKENSTEIN - TRIBUTE - EVER!

A cool movie. Very good plot, quite quotable, good cast, and lots of
surprises! Definitely worth seeing in the theaters.

Bold surrealism in cinematography is sooo refreshing after all that darn
realism.

Well, maybe I'll check it out after all. Spielberg's previous sf, that
robo-child-abuse movie, was so retarded that I had very little interest
in seeing this one.

I thought the best photography in a movie last year was in "FINAL
FANTASY The Spirit Within," which did not use any cameras or film, or
sets, or locations. (Unfortunately the story was as crappy as A.I.'s.)

You WON'T regret it. There's even some BUGS. LIVELY bugs. Of course,
they are trying to "make it" with Tom Cruise, but their heart is in the
right place ...

A note to those with Yetibudlings: this film, although rated PG-13, would
probably be an R if it wasn't a big-budget studio release.

I know that MY penis has been used to do evil. It mauled a group of
children once, in fact. Well, there was a sign up... "Beware of my Penis"
but they were taunting it with a stick .... soon it broke the lead it was
on and it was all over them. **shaking head** The judge said I had to have
it put to sleep. I showed him a picture of my wife, and he said, "Damn,
that should have done it."

I know. I jest about sick of the film industry pushing Jedi faith at
me.

Just got back from seing this movie.
Not bad at all. Just the right mix of humor, plot, sci-fi to make for
a fun evening.
p.s. There are no lemurs in the movie but the plants are cool.

I just heard that it was very much like a Kubrick movie. Not
surprising considering Spielberg's just coming off A.I.

Any opinions on this?

Yes Stanley Kubrick is still alive living in Frank Zappa's body.

I haven't seen it yet, but.

The thing is, I was reading about Kubrick's proposed sci fi project
for years, and what AI ended up being bore NO RESEMBLANCE to it at
all. (One problem with Kubrick's as originally conceived is a lot of
it would have been very similar to what 'Matrix' ended up being.
Personally I think the people who did 'Matrix' borrowed heavily from
Kubrick's ideas, which were widely published and stuff)

But from what little I've seen of it so far, 'Minority Report' looks
to be VERY CLOSE to Kubrick's.

Why Spielberg would go that route; savagely rape Kubrick's project in
the acknowledged 'adaptation', and then completely live up to it in an
unacknowledged project, completely stymies me.

But then I've long since gotten over the fact that most of the world
completely stymies me.

Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who
can't talk for people who can't read.
