In Reply to: what did you want, the automaton to come alive and murder Sasha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley? NT posted by Jazz Inmate on November 29, 2011 at 12:11:42:
with the archivist all about? Booooring. And Kingsley was miscast. From despicable to kind just isn't in his repertoire. Sasha? Horrible character. Ridiculous.
The whole thing was a conceit for Scorcese to "instruct" us about early film. As such, it even sucked on that level. It was about FX, not real film. If I saw that friggin' shell hit the moon one more time......
You're partly right: I did wish for the automoton to come to life. As it is, it was the only interesting character.
