Strangely fascinated by the fact that you believe that there's a circumcision scene in The Godfather.

In the current continuity, Krypton is destroyed because it orbits a red dwarf.

Pretty sure previous iterations didn't involve fracking.

Since the Spoiler Space was going up way before 99.9% of people would see the movie, I wanted to save "the worst" for the audience. However, it's since been updated.

As I clarified in a comment above, in this case the destruction of Krypton is a man-made (Kryptonian-made?) disaster caused by depletion of the planet's non-renewable resources (which are apparently all in its core).

Actually jotted down in my notes on the way home: "This would've made a great Larry Cohen movies."

1. It's mentioned that heavy weapons aren't allowed, and that government employees (which probably includes the military) are off-limits.

Both films feature a scene where Hawke discusses piano lessons with his kid. So, really, they're the same movie.

The movie does mention certain restrictions: bombs and other heavy weapons are still illegal, and federal employees are off-limits. Prevents a coup, I guess.

Yeah, the central theme of negative emotions as mental pollution is very Scientologist. However, Shyamalan handles it an ambiguous way, so, while the movie has a pro-Scientology concept, it's not a pro-Scientology movie per se.

Thing is, Shyamalan's not an awful filmmaker by any means. Even the stuff people like to hate on — say, The Happening — has a really firm grip on form. The issues people have tend to be more with what he's going for than with "competence."

There's no spoiler space because there's no twist. Movie's completely straightforward.

1. The script to Soldier was written in the early 1980s. Any idea when the Heavy Metal story ran?

DCPs are hackable.

You guessed right.

The movie's opening credits identify it as Furious 6, which only serves to make things more confusing.

I'm pretty fond of Charro!, the one movie where Elvis doesn't sing. He certainly could've been a damn fine dramatic actor. Too bad.

True, but Mitchum was only 40 when he made Thunder Road.

Still loved drinking, though. So did Arthur Ripley. Reportedly, the whole shoot was one long moonshine binge.
