Thursday Feb 28, 2019
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we try to convince Daniel that Alice in Wonderland (the book) is as undeciferable as the movie. We watched Alice in Wonder! No, not that one, or that one, the one with Christopher Lloyd, Gene Wilder, and Haggrid. No, not that one either.

Thursday Feb 21, 2019
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we learned where June Lockheart was hiding. We watched the 1992 TV movie that is mostly LOST, Danger Island (AKA The Presence, after the pilot was not picked up). Matthew chose this movie because the evil government plan has the same name as my daughter. Whee!!!

Thursday Feb 14, 2019
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we forgot about Valentine's Day and while we hide from significant others, here is a movie! Before the think pieces starring Michael Fassbender, Ashton Kutcher, and Justin Long, there was a movie about how Steve Jobs was an asshole and it was on TV! We watched the Pirates of Silicon Valley, the Linux story was never this sexy!

Matrix Revolutions

Thursday Jan 31, 2019
The week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we 'celebrate' 200 movies by watching Matrix Revolutions! Not the one you are thinking of, there is no space orgy rave, Neo is stuck in a subway station for 20 minutes (then disappears for most of the movie) the Oracle is recast, and Morpheus doesn't matter! Wooo! Don't worry we have a doozy planned for the 200th movie.

Scorpion King

Thursday Jan 24, 2019
This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we learn why they stopped calling this movie "The Mummy III." We watched The Scorpion King! In which Daniel convinces me that the Rock is not always the charismatic heroic hunk I thought he was, what can I say except you're welcome.

Speed 2: Cruise Control
Thursday Jan 10, 2019
Thursday Jan 10, 2019
How do you end up with a classic like Speed 2? Well first you need a classic, like Speed. Ah, the movie making process. First, you get a script together, match it with producers with the vision, who find directors who see that vision, cinematographers who can bring the vision to celluloid, actors who fulfill that vision, and the music and effects that bring it to life.
Ah, the sequel making process. First, the director (now also the producer), gets a script, then has a dream that causes him to throw out the original script and rewrite it. This causes the big star of the movie to leave (causing the movie studio to make up a lie involving the actor's band). Then proceed to add a subplot about a deaf girl (14) in love with the new male lead (to make him seem less like a robot), show the female lead watching Lolita to nail subtext, add leeches and Willem Dafoe, give it a catchy subtitle, like "The Boat that Couldn't Slow Down," or "Cruise Control," and pow! You've got a movie!
