Eagle Eye

This movie was horrible. Shia Lebouf will definitely be A list within a year, if he's not already, and he's fun to watch, but he didn't save this. Political statement regarding the PATRIOT Act, unsubtle references to Jesus, and a commentary on the over-reliance on technology all rolled into one. Something about how the SECDEF will become President after a robotic national security machine goes bezerk and kills everyone in the Capitol during the SOTU because the POTUS disobeyed intelligence provided by said machine.

The only interesting things to come out of it were my thoughts, midway through, regarding which Obama cabinet member would be the nut-low as the person sequestered during the SOTU Address (i.e., who would be the worst Prez if somehow everyone else got pwned). Probably Carol Browner. Though Ken Salazar certainly emanates pure, downhome retardation.

EDIT: I have been re-re-re-informed that Carol Browner is "not in the fucking Cabinet" and that her position, as climate-change czar, isn't "even cabinet-level I don't think."

But Obama's changing the rules of Washington imo.
