I can't wait to see this, mostly because they made it at SFU when i was still there in the spring. there was a helicopter and everything! they turned all the SFU maps into Fort Linwood maps for a few weeks, which was really exciting for everyone.

― Q: Why was the mushroom so popular? A: He was a fungi (latebloomer), Sunday, 14 December 2008 03:20 (seventeen years ago)
worst kid character ever. seriously, fuck a movie that inadvertantly creates sympathy for child murder.
― Q: Why was the mushroom so popular? A: He was a fungi (latebloomer), Sunday, 14 December 2008 03:21 (seventeen years ago)
maybe it works because keanu's klaatu is such a ridiculous moron that it would take that kind of arsey dickwad of a kid to make him see humanity?

How did Keanu become the go-to actor for Hollywood SF? Between him, Will Smith and Tom Cruise they've pretty much got the genre completely fucked.
― James Morrison, Thursday, 18 December 2008 22:18 (seventeen years ago)
Okay, it's meant to be all eco-friendly...BUT...there is a TV on standby when they go to visit Professor John Cleese. This is unforgivable, Klattu shoulda torched his house. They should've got Jim Carrey instead of Keanu.

seriously, having jaden smith screaming about how dad would have killed the alien kind of undercuts any spielbergian wonder. not surprising the director previously had done exorcism of emily rose - dude can apparently suck the fun out of everything.
