We'll fix that post-production.

"Word of ''Sky Captain'' began to spread around the Internet only after Conran finished primary shooting in London last spring -- extraordinarily late for the Internet, which often seems invented specifically to track movies with giant robots in them."
That is so true.

"...the Internet, which often seems invented specifically to track movies with giant robots in them."
I love this as a definition of the Internet. Grammar aside, Hodgman can write him some good text.

true, that. The trailers for this movie (which I saw in the passion, oddly enough) were really enticing. The dialogue was a bit Star-Warsish, but the art direction and design was impressive.

Since Star Wars was inspired by the same '30s serials this movie attempts to emulate, that's hardly a surprise.

It's odd that there's not a mention of George Lucas in the whole article, since he, as jjg mentioned, takes inspiration from the same source and has been shooting actors in front of nothing but blue-screens for seven years now.

Ten, actually, if you count the dreadful Radioland Murders. As I recall, George had most of the sets for that film fabricated out of ones and zeroes.
Rodriguez, Lucas, Conran... No chewing the scenery in their movies, by penalty of electrocution.

That article had some bad grammar in it, unless the rules are more flexible than I thought:
"None of these things actually exist, though."
Should be "exists". None = "not one" and the sentence, at its core, should be: "None exists". right?
