"How can we take superb concepts from actual sci-fi films like THE MATRIX, WALL-E, PLANET OF THE APES, and MOON and then make them into a shitstorm of a movie?"

"Ummm...I don't know, but I'll bet I can get Tom Cruise to star!"

"Brilliant! I'll see if I can rope national treasures Melissa Leo and Morgan Freeman!"

"Superb! What will we call it?"

"We'll name it 'Oblivion,' after the weed I'm high on right now."

That's exactly how it happened, kids.

One of the most romantic films I've ever seen.

If you're interested in anything else regarding this movie (or my pants), I have the literature in my house.

This wasn't my favorite Coen Brothers film (that's O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU), but it was a fine movie featuring a wholly unsympathetic main character.
