Uh-HUH.

Just watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.  A sublimely silly, ridiculous movie.  I found it deeply amusing, and of course I really enjoy Angelina Jolie's work as it is.  Plus, adorable geek-boy.  I was snickering at the slash potential in the beginning and hoping he would bite Joe out of sheer irritation by the end. 

But all the characters were white except a few Tibetans, and they were either stereotypes or villains.  Seems to me the filmmakers could have done better than that. 

Also, spoiler. )

ETA: From the trailers, I'd assumed that Ms. Jolie's character was the Sky Captain.
