Episode #28 for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, in which our protagonist talks about the Bruckheimer machine, postulates as to how the film was written, and gets a bit more ranty about the words “suggested by” than he intended to.

That movie is totally what Goethe had in mind.
They actually said the film was ‘suggested by’ the original short? That’s hilarious. I can’t even tell if that’s a case of obfuscation or an inability to understand the meaning of the word.
Wayhomer, are you in the Kansas City area? I’m asking because some of the background on your ride home looks really familiar.
Warpcrafter: In the Atlanta area, actually. And please, my friends call me Widge. “Wayhomer” sounds like I’m a character in Crisis on Infinite Earths or something. :-)
I hate to break it to you, but girls have the same dream…at least a bunch of us do.
My big quibble (and it is a major quibble) is not CGIing the Twin Towers in during the one flashback scene set in 2000. But, I enjoyed the film aside from that and the occasional continuity gaffe.
Well, I’m sure the dreams cross genders, but with boys it has–traditionally–been they are a “hero” while girls fantasize about being secret royalty. Especially these days that can lead to princesses who kick some ass, but those are the two deep-seated fantasies. Which is why Harry Potter works, because it combines both into a single character. He is not only the secret protagonist but secret royalty as well, “The Boy Who Lived.”
True. I guess really just wanted the spaceship to come and take me on a grand adventure back to my real planet and didn’t actually care about my specific role on it.
