How time flies when we’re having fun. And we should have had flying cars the year before. But,hey. Dragons! Starring Mathew McConaughey and Christian Bale, and did I mention, dragons? this 2002 movie set in 2020 disappointed at the box office.
The premise is that while digging for the London Underground, they open up a cavern with a dragon that’s been sleeping, well, since it wiped out the dinosaurs. I’m happy when I get eight good hours of sleep. But, hey. Whatever.
I thought it was okay. Some serious plot flaws. The ending felt a bit anti-climactic. But what’s astonishing is to see what McConaughey did to his body. Then compare that to Dallas Buyer’s Club. That can’t be good for you.
If you’re bored it’s not a bad movie since it has — did I mention dragons? Not quite Smaug, though.
Update on From on Epix, which is like the only way to get the title across, which means: bad title. Really liking where this is going. Especially some of the thoughts in the last episode. I mean, a couple of people do have a point: other than the man-eating creatures in the night, is it really a bad place to live? Of course, there are no dragons. Yet.
I have, of course, written about dragons. They are in Area 51: Invasion, which, humbly speaking, I think is a kick ass book about…
