Priorities, people!

I'm hearing a lot of buzz about Super 8, which I hope to see soon (maybe today). People are going on and on about . . .



the monster. Will the monster do this, or will the monster be like that, or they sure hope the monster plot is done right. As if the monster even matters. KYLE CHANDLER is starring in this thing! Kyle Chandler, one of the most adorable actors alive, has his first (is it his first? I think it is) lead role on the big screen. The monster could be the tap-dancing monster from Spaceballs and it wouldn't matter -- all that matters is basking in the adorableness. Really, have people no priorities at all anymore?

Let me know how it is! I was standing outside the theater yesterday, but just wasn't in the mood for a movie.

Well, I already blogged about it, but it really is surprisingly good. I totally agree that the monster thing is stupid - but I've not heard much about that. I expect it's because the last movie like this from the director (as producer) was Cloverfield, in which the monster was a) the whole point of the movie, and b) really unscary and silly looking.

But really, the monster doesn't matter - it's the kids and their relationships that lift this from triviality to engaging, perhaps even moving.
