6. It makes the scientists look cool. Surely if this was a viral marketing campaign run by a PR firm they would not make that mistake. They are not that stupid…


oh yes, very cool. hoy. I will say no more but not for lack of trying. There simply is no more to say.

In that group, I'd have to go with #5. " The machine in the intro is a metaphor for science;". I've watched it quite a few times, and the machine chases people down the street just because it's evil. I can see how one could miss this, but if they'd done half the analysis they let on, what's the excuse?

And Bex, thanks much for the link. It's sweet that the very people they said couldn't possibly pull it off were behind it. I knew someone had some resources - there's even a trek communicator sound effect when Little Tool goes to summon Big Gadget.

As the movie's made for the general public, and can't go too long, I doubt I'll learn too awful much...
