I haven't watched a whole hell of a lot of recent movies in the past few years, thanks to a lack of long enough blocks of time, and am gradually increasing my rate of getting back into it. We've had the DVD of The Incredibles since it came out, but only just now got around to convincing the offspring to not be chicken about watching a movie. Glad we did. I especially liked the invulnerable unstoppable battle-bot goaded into ripping its own brain out of its poor head. The hilarious Edna Mode/Edith Head costume designer character ("I used to design for GODS!") was true Art.
Baby Jack-Jack reminded me of one of my favorite old-time sci-fi novels, Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. (I assume I'm not the only person who was disturbed by the way the novel's cool opening sequence was totally ripped off and bastardized in that lame and dreadful TV series "V" 20 years ago.) So who's ready to evolve to the next octave? Besides the Singularitarians. I mean, I'm game. Hyperdimensionality is something we're all eventually going to be needing to get used to, for all sorts of reasons. Probably sooner than we think.
