hypertwinkI just came back from watching Tomorrowland. It was okay -- it's all what you want from a Disney movie with all the tenets of every Disney Inc property in attendance: There's Always Hope. Don't Give Up. Someday, It'll Get Better. Sorry, my inner cynic is showing. I really did enjoy it -- it's just that Disney has the balls to make digs at dystopic lit/movies and grim-dark anti-heroes with tragic backstories/father figures, when one of their biggest moneymakers is a tin man with daddy issues.
Speaking of disingenuous, I was reading something about Jurassic World, where Joss Whedon tweeted about the 70s era sexism in a clip he watched. Hilarious. For one thing, it's a clip, it's not in context. Another, who died and made him arbiter of all things gender-related? Maybe, he should watch his own recent blockbuster movie. I'm a fan but sometimes, he can be such a douchenozzle.
