Giant robots are attacking your city, what do you do?


Answer: You call one guy in one airplane and expect him to subdue all twenty of them without any backup whatsoever.

You have the ability to create whatever machine you want, you can create a giant rocket, sentient robots, floating and flying machines, and giant underwater robots, what more do you need?

Answer: Some giant generators located in the middle of the city, items which you could easily make yourself.

You're running through the forest and come across a wide chasm. How do you get across?

Answer: Just cross the fallen tree which lies across every chasm in every film that has a chasm.

You're watching a movie that's more fun than most, a fantasy recalling the pulp adventures of the thirties, and what do you do?

Answer: You inanely and with a complete lack of imagination nit-pick it's "failings"--which are entirely consistent with the genre to which it is an homage--rather than joyfully allow it to carry you away to the make-believe world it portrays.

Lemme guess: you're an

a) academic who lives in an ivory tower, looking down on the rest of the world from your priveleged position, or

b) a beret-wearing film school student whose mantra is "I'm too smart for this: I know how life really is."

Movies are fun. If you want reality, watch the news.
