Monologing

This morning we were watching the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. The scene is where Kananga/Mr. Big is telling Bond his plan to dump millions of dollars of heroin onto the market. My daughter, who has not seen too many Bond movies - but has seen The Incredibles several times says: "Now, why do the bad guys always do that? Now, Bond knows the whole plan, is going to escape, and then stop him!"

The wonderful thing about The Incredibles is how Brad Bird managed to take so many of the action movie and comic clichés and turn them on their heads. I can't see Superman any more without thinking "No capes!"

I'm convinced Edna was just anti-cape in her fashion sense. After all, she can make outfits that turn invisible, are flame-retardant and handle high-speed friction - but she can't make a cape that tears away at the neck when too much force is applied? I don't think so!

She just hates capes. :)
