oh boy! So, I'm not going to mention the Newsweek article today. If you want to keep edumacatin' yourself, you should read Tom Masland's primer on today's African wars. And drop NW a note and tell 'em you want more African news, dangit.
Segue! Saw T3 last night, and spoilers follow. Still here? Okay. There's a scene at the end where John Connor and Angela from So-Called Life are trying to escape from a Skynet HQ, which represents all the let-downs in the film. At this HW, all sorts of Terminator machines have decided to get going with the destruction of the human race. And I thought Wow, this should be good. Big exo-skeleton guys snapping necks, hovercrafts raining fiery death upon the foolish Frankenstein scientists what made them. This should be the end of every Robocop movie times twenty!
Instead, we get to see three dozen Short Circuit robots attempting to wreak havoc. As my lady Nicole observed, it seemed that at any moment, the supposedly frightening robots might taunt genocidees with "Your mother was a snowblower!"
Still though, the movie does combine one of the coolest, most destructive car chases ever. If you gotta take a wee wee break, don't do it until that scene is over.
Alright. Momma wants the phone. See ya'll in Monday. NYers: save some some dough. We be drinking.
