(spoilers abound, but I assume if you've got this far you've already read some of them above)
the mic boom was distracting, distracting to the point where -nobody- could have missed it... white mic on black background, black mic on a white background, and some odd red coloured dangling thingy.. so it must have been the screen adjustment issue (at least the whole picture didn't cut out like in superman).
it was interesting how in the previews they made it seem like story might not be entirely good.. something that was never a part of the movie. (aside: a main character in bedtime story called 'story'... hrm.) Also one thing I noticed the critics really latched onto when tearing the movie apart was that Shyamalan cast himself as the visionary writer who's martyrdom would change the world. I cringed when I first saw that he cast himself as a writer but he played it well and I didn't even think about it again until after. I have more to say, but it's hot. I'll get it out when it cools down.
I want to see children of men.. and obviously the prestige (drooled over the trailer on apple.com a few days before, costumes and actors and what looks to be awesome art direction... mmm) the fountain looks looks like a big visual feast full of visuals that don't interest me in the slightest. the future world they showed looked like a photoshop/bryce/poser.. oh, as an aside, search for poser or poser 3d on youtube, good for a laugh. the matrix vomit cam is my favourite. wtc? no thanks, I saw all that I needed to on the weeks/months of cnn replaying whatever footage they could dig up ad nauseum. also, I didn't notice nicholas cage in any of that footage and it was fine that way.
