The Incredibles
filed under: movie geek
Was cute, funny, stylized, and very very loud. I liked it. But I cringe for anyone who gets motion sickness easily or has sensitive ears. I’m neither of those and I was feeling a bit queased out and cringy during the admittedly cliched Spy Kids 2 ripoff climax.
The movie around the climax was worth it though. A distinct 1960s James Bond meets old school dc comics meets a primary color shag painting. Which I love because I’m a trend puppy just like your thirteen year old sister with the headgear I just carefully control which sort of trends I’m exposed to.
It took me almost 3/4 of the film to realize who was voicing the bad guy. Until I heard him say, “Are you NUTS??” and then I knew**
And the snarky little Asian Edith Head clothing designer was a thing of beauty. I. Love. Her.
And oh my god Sarah Vowell voiced Violet!!
I think I’m going to have a politics-free weekend. :and the crowd goes wild:
**I’m used to hearing him say this: Are you NUTS?? The guy looks like a DATE RAPIST!
