Cast & creators of Battlestar Galactica appear at UN panel on human rights & race. Edward James Olmos makes impassioned and moving speech about race as a cultural determinant. Starts really getting into it. Shouts “So say we all!” - and the crowd says it right back to him.
Ha. You thought I was going to make a “watching the Watchmen” joke. I am not that predictable!
Seriously, other than the unnecessarily long orgy scene after the fire rescue (which did, at least, have a truly hilarious moment with a flame thrower), I was reasonably impressed with the movie. I do want to give bonus points to whoever assembled the soundtrack for really committing to some of those choices. Basically every scene has the single most archetypal song possible, and that does include an appearance by “Ride of the Valkyries”.
Lot of Bob Dylan, too. And by the way, whoever let My Chemical Romance cover Desolation Row needs to die in a fire.
Go see it once. I don’t feel any particular need to see it again, but it was better than I expected and about as good as I hoped for.
