Yea, I guess I am hoping that if they are at least clever enough to steal
from philosophy then they are clever enough to steal from Level 13, Brazil,
Dark Planet, level 13 (the movie), Max Headroom, etc.
And if they are creative enough to do the special effects they are pulling
off, then perhaps they are creative enough to steal with some style and drop
us a new twist or two that were not in the source material.
I am willing to go along with the eye candy for the sake of the eye candy
while I wait to see if the story ends up having any merit.
Speaking of eye candy, anyone notice the distinct lack of hot women? Lots of
hot boys I understand, but no really sexy girls. It's all buck and no doe.
I've seen the women the bros run around with, so what's the deal?
