The Fredösphere

We saw Master and Commander in the theater with the brother-in-law-osphere's family months ago and the best part by far was the trailer to Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.  Slate gives us a nice linkapalooza of the critical buzz.  Their Salon quote especially caught my eye:  "a fancy mechanical toy than a work of art we can warm up to."  Aaaaah, I know just what they mean:  a great movie indeed.

Sky Captain goes on the very short list of movies I must see in the theater.  (M&C was not on that list, but hey, if you're married and I say "family politics," I'm sure you will understand.  And heck, I liked M&C.  I just didn't like paying $18 for me and the little womanosphere to see it.)

On the other hand, it may make sense to wait and see if a "Phantom Edit" version of this film.  You know, one where you never have to look at the one truly artificial object in this movie:  Angelina Jolie.
