* I’m about as excited for The Kingdom as I have been for a movie (non-Transformers division) in months. And raise your hand if you thought for a second during The Great White Hype that Peter Berg might turn out to be an important director.
* Jodi Foster as Batman? Sign me up. This looks about 20 times better than The Dark Knight.
* I’m not sure what I think of the Jan. 18 J.J. Abrams project, but I am kind of happy to know that if you try real hard you can keep something as big as a movie relatively secret. (One AICN talkbacker has already dubbed it The Godzilla Witch Project.” I hope that sticks.)
* And I’ll bet Wall E is great and everything, because it’s Pixar and isn’t loaded with celebrity voices (is it a coincidence that the two least good Pixar films are Bug’s Life and Cars?), but the robot looks a lot–I mean a lot–like the gyroscope robot sold with the original NES.
That little robot added an extra $50 to the system’s cost–which to an 11-year-old might as well have been an extra million bucks. And then Nintendo made two–2!–games for it.
I hate that robot.
