Denis Leary? Not good plastic surgery.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Benjamin Bratt's nose was a DEFINITE improvement. I could hardly believe it when I saw his old nose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, there's tons of good plastic surgery out there, and lots of high profile people who can afford it. I'm always stunned by how many still cock it up, but assume that many people I think are lovely have a nip and a tuck I know shit about.

Stana Katic has like half the nose she had back when she guested on ER.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So this is just a warning to anyone planning to see Oblivion this weekend - if you care at all about people other than the white male lead having anything at all to do, this movie will annoy you. There are only about 5 speaking roles in the entire movie, and they are all eyeroll-inducing stereotypes.
On the plus side, it's gorgeous and somewhere in there a much better movie is hiding. So I didn't hate it, but I wanted very much to reach through the screen and rearrange things.

Every time I saw a commercial for Oblivion, I just muttered, "Time for Iron Man, DAMN IT." But I am a skewed demographic.
Also, I saw a trailer for Gatsby last night, and holy crow, it looks so stunning visually. Which I expected from Baz Luhrmann, but still, actually seeing proof was gratifying. t edit And I think Tobey Maguire is brilliant casting for Nick.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The visuals for Gatsby annoyed the hell out of me; I'm not sure why.

See, if that white male lead was Jason Statham...maybe. Tom Cruise, never.
There are only about 5 speaking roles in the entire movie, and they are all eyeroll-inducing stereotypes.
Are the other roles, speaking or not, pointedly not white and/or pointedly not male? I don't know anything else about the movie other than a baseball cap affectation and Morgan Freeman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I get the feeling that about half an hour of the movie is just Morgan Freeman lighting a cigar in the dark.

Because books.
I honestly can't see myself ever watching a Tom Cruise movie again. He really gives me the creeps.
I think I could sit through Risky Business and still enjoy it, but I haven't actually tried, so who knows.
