I just got back from seeing The Incredibles. What a great movie! Visually stunning, stylish, good voices, not a single dull moment, and very, very clever. Also, the world of the movie looks exactly like 1962. I was born in 1965, but I remember being a 5 year old and still seeing that 1962 world all around me. Not everyone turned into a hippy, you know. There's also a great big-band, hard lounge-jazz, groovy musical score. Even some accurate aviation speak ("Checking in VFR on top"). It's a very wholesome, pro-family movie, too, with an anti-"nobody should be more talented than anyone else" message.
Civilization, in every generation, must be defended from barbarians. The barbarians outside the gate, the barbarians inside the gate, and the barbarian in the mirror...
