"You may skimp on the writing as much as you like. As long as it looks gorgeous and feels self-righteous, who cares if it has a story."

I think movie makers knew that already; it's what James Cameron has been doing his entire career.

I probably will go see "Pocahontas in Space" because it's supposed to be really pretty, and I can't help noting that it's going to be regarded as a technological milestone, if nothing else. (Back in the day, Star Wars was known mostly for its special effects, not its storyline.)
