That's the problem with the entire movie, really...   

"What would be a really cool magic trick?"
"Girl floats over audience in a soap bubble!"
"Is that even remotely plausible in the real world?"
"Oh, hell no."
"Then let's do that!"

[repeat until budget is spent]

Yep.  I was hoping for a fun romp about what stage magicians can (and can't) do.  I was disappointed.  Repeatedly.

To recycle Mike's comment about Prometheus (I think?): if a movie about football got everything as wrong as this movie does about stage magic, "football" would be played on skates with bats.

PS And I didn't think the ending could possibly disappoint me even further... but it did.  Kind of an achievement, that.

Ohhh, that movie.  Five minutes in, I was already hating it so hard.

Not having the budget for horses becomes several minutes of material, and even a major plot point later...

Clearly he gets some occasionally.

Was it Batman Returns where Mike admitted he'd do Michelle Pfeiffer if it was the only way to get back to his own time?   I think that's one of my all-time faves.

ohhhhh, right.  The Thai hooker with Down's Syndrome, according to Cloe's description.   Good times.

Sounds like an opportunity for a secondary donation scheme, like pledging when people run marathons and stuff.  For every contiguous hour Mike stays at his post, you pledge x dollars...

I believe the proper title is Tyler Perry's What Are You Doing, Malaria?

They accept them, they just don't do anything with them except inform the sender that cable isn't their jurisdiction.

Can't wait for the sequel!

The Bechdel test is like taking a patient's temperature - an easy check to see if there might be a problem.  And just like a slightly high temperature, "failing" the Bechdel test doesn't automatically mean there IS a problem.

For example Gravity "fails" the Bechdel test, but for valid story reasons.  There's only one woman in the movie, which can suggest sexism - so many movies are about boys doing stuff with one girl thrown in as a love interest.  But in this case there are only two people IN the movie.  So I think Gravity gets a pass, despite "failing" the test.   Pretty sure Shawshank Redemption "fails" as well, but again that's not due to sexism.

The purpose of the Bechdel test is to raise awareness of how shockingly few movies there are with more than one major female character.   And how few of those movies develop the female characters as individuals with thoughts and goals beyond getting with the hero.
