I had exactly the same reaction. Kind of a giveaway, there. Sort of a big fucking reveal. Bit hard to keep THAT plot point secret anymore. I assure you, Soderbergh didn't sign off on that one.

Okay. Yeah. It seems to have the right feel to it. And if they actually keep the Morricone soundtrack, big kudos. I've got one question...

If you meant "Dubya Asininia" I'm in complete agreement. Although that would be maligning the anemone...

"Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!"

Amen, Doc.

Nice little home, but the kitchen is a little off-putting. I was under the impression that green was the worst color to use in restaurants, 'cause it made the food unappetizing or suppressed hunger or something.

That guy's not Conan. He's too pretty to be Conan.

On your one outstanding question:

I suspect if you encounter an Aventador in the flesh, you won't find it entirely boring. But I agree: a modern take on the Miura (god's chosen car) could even make Democrats and Republicans lie down together in love and mutual understanding.

Agreed. The GTR treatment doesn't work. They had better historical references from which to proceed.

I'll bet Germans feel the same about Fords and Chevys being built in their country, right?

Okay, the Michael Jackson massed-choir/orchestral soundtrack thing is already boring the shit out of me, Lambo.

Yeah, so who screwed it up? M-B, or Gordon "The Ego From England" Murray?

Breasts, waist, hips...it's all there: pure, snarling sex on wheels. Gods below, what a machine.

Obscenely wealthy, effete relics of imperial inbreeding. And now...

Only incrementally more grotesque looking than an actual SLR...

I've lived in Ann Arbor for about 20 years, and I love the town. Great academic resources, lots of international cultural influences, lots of art and music, lots of tasty food, lots of cool people from other countries, lots of natural beauty.

So the basic message here is that the Aventador causes enormous geologic erections and lots and lots of moisture...

Where are you getting your info? It's not from the Silmarillion, that's for sure.

I dunno. My favorite Rube Goldberg machines use mostly gravity and clever engineering to accomplish their convoluted machinations. This uses lots of motors and electricity. Feels like a pinball machine.
