I'm glad you enjoyed my rantings--I was really quite annoyed, wasn't I? You were wiser than I was; I should have stayed away as well, but I was encouraged to watch it, since, as you can see from the above, a number of friends of mine enjoyed it, which I have to admit, I find rather disturbing. *shrugs*
I suspect it was the author of the graphic novel (which you could not pay me to read) who made the "hot gates" call, but I don't know. The movie was clearly intended to appeal to adolescent boys (never mind that it actually also appears to have appealed to many women), whom media moguls generally seem convinced must be morons.
Thanks for commenting. : ) I love discussing books and movies, although I think I tend to f-lock most of the posts for some reason. This movie, though, raised my ire sufficiently that apparently only a public post would do.
