Sep. 20th, 2004 10:27 amBleeeeeeeeeh...and tired. But I am not leaving early, not not :x
Saw Sky Captain last night, and I must admit, I really liked it a bunch. Neat cinematography, great use of muted colors to give it that ages-gone-by feel, very good feel of 30s/40s pulp and of the comics and radio or movie serials of the day. Liked much the designs of things, like the gadgetry and machines--just had a really cool old-scifi feel to it, like the way scifi and adventure was imagined back then rather than now. And most of the characters were really quite keen.
The only beef I have with the film is Polly Perkins--dear fecking god, that woman pissed me off. I mean seriously, made me so angry it made me wonder if I could finish the movie, and did affect my enjoyment of the film.
( Spoilery Polly rant )
Anyway. Results from a quiz my brother forwarded to me, which amuseth me for some reason:
YOU ARE RULE 11!
You were designed to make sure that attorneys in
federal cases make reasonable inquiries into
fact and law before submitting pleadings,
motions, or other papers. You were a real
hardass in 1983, when you snuffed out all legal
creativity from federal proceedings and
embarassed well-meaning but overzealous
attorneys. You loosened up a bit in 1993, when
you began allowing plaintiffs to make
allegations in their complaints that are likely
to have evidenciary support after discovery,
and when you allowed a 21 day period for the
erring attorney to withdraw the errant motion.
Sure, you certainly won't get any brownie
points for being outgoing, but you keep things
on the up and up. It's pretty clear that the
whole operation would fall apart without you
around.
