One of my old friends from high school who I haven’t seen in around 6 years came up to visit this weekend. We ran around Boston (not so much fun in the rain) and went to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which I thought was very much a style over substance movie, but in a good way. The plot wasn’t very complex and the characters weren’t exactly very well developed, but I enjoyed the retro futuristic look of the film and started laughing every time the director referenced old 40s cinematic storytelling techinques, like visually showing radio waves and putting exposition in newspaper headlines. And Jude Law is a pretty, pretty man.

I am a push over the the whole retro-futuristic, I am big into Steampunk, for example, so when I saw the trailer for Sky Captian I knew I had to see it.
Alas, I hate going to movies alone, so I have to sucker someone into seeing it with me and I will be all set.

I think you’ll like it! It is an entertaining movie, even if it isn’t very deep. And it is fun seeing people fly around in blimps. I’m also now convinced that goggles are the new must-have fashion accessory for the fall

I agree with you comments about Sky Captain. Especially about Jude.
If goggles are going to be the must have, I am glad I already have a pair.
