or we could get Brontosaurus designated as a dwarf planet.

Well, name any other big ticket movie where you actually hear the character's thoughts as a voice over (disembodied ObiWan doesn't count, special circumstance there, he's a ghost) and constantly throughout the entire movie, at that. Not as narration either, that too is different, that's story telling, not actually hearing inside someone's head in real time. The only other place I ever see that happen is in comedy, like SNL.

You're going to miss some stuff, sure, but it's been done. A few of the Harry Potter movies did just that (several were over 700 pages) and they were pretty well done. Even Lord of the Rings, though okay, they were maybe shorter (I don't recall exactly). Gandalf, and Frodo and Boromir had things going through their heads, but they didn't require a voice over to get those across to the audience. That said, Gollum sort of cheated by being schizo and talking to himself, but that was excusable because he's stone freaking nuts.

Because books are a different medium. They're not visual like movies, except for what you picture in your head. Books lends themselves better to having characters' thoughts heard, because books can be written in third person or "God" mode, among others, but expressions and actions are only described, not seen.

Please, just stop with these already.

I just saw the movie again for the first time in decades.
Good god that movie was horrible. If you, as a director and/or screenwriter, cannot get across the character's thoughts through action and expression, but have to resort to voice overs instead, you've really failed your medium.

The upside is that means a decline in the serious MISinformation as well. That's sort of a win.

Meta-Whooosh!

(or would that be a recursive whoosh?)

Correct, it was completely tongue-in-cheek and pie-in-the-sky, at least for any reasonable foreseeable future. Who'd want to paint the moon anyway?

I suggest stopping the moon in it's orbit and making it geosynchronous, then spray painting it with a highly reflective silver paint. That way we can get enough sunlight at night to compensate with ground-based solar panels.
That's really simple to do, right? Easy Peasy!
:-D

NOTHING makes Hillary the sensible choice.

I figure, it may have taken him some time to seize the opportunity, as well as build up his nerve.. only once the pilot left the cockpit, he had his opportunity, and, locking the door, was committed. But then it's a race against time before someone eventually busts through the cockpit door and thwarts him, so it's "safer" to his plan to just crash the plane before that happens, similar to what happened to the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11 and didn't make it to the White House.

Try again?

It had run it's course anyway. It had gotten too formulaic, especially with the gaffs and accidents and whatnot.

They couldn't make a small enough internal combustion engine to fit in his sonic screwdriver.
