It is a way to be political. Humour is such a good avenue to take politics on. Even more so than if it were a serious political movie, then it could kind of be accused of trying to tip the scales a little bit. But comedy is a good bullshit detector and I think that’s advantageous to this subject matter. Advantageous is word I looked up earlier today just to sound good.

If you like horror or sci-fi movies, the email was like unwrapping a Wonka chocolate to find you’ve got one of the golden tickets. ‘…upcoming Special Effects Junket for Men In Black 3 with Special Effects Make-up Artist Rick Baker…’

Nowhere else but in the movies can we indulge our love of tools of destruction. The sci-fi, action and adventure genres are replete with examples of the wackiest technology that writers, directors and production designers can think up no matter how unwieldy, impractical or physically impossible.
