Watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow<\/a><\/em> with Katherine on Friday afternoon. She had thought it was “boring” because someone brought it to her child care the other day, but it turned out this was a different movie, and she enjoyed it very much.<\/p>\n

What’s actually funny, watching it for the first time again since the theaters, is the passing resemblance to The Incredibles<\/a><\/em>. A hero. A secret plot. An island fortress. A giant robot (that has gone through progressive versions). A rocket ship counting down to disaster.<\/p>\n

A zillion differences, too, of course, but it’s hard to keep a good pulpy plot element down.<\/p>\n

And Katherine enjoyed it, even some of the scarier parts.
