Is an air freshener in a convertible ironic, a generous effort to improve the world, or a confession?
Saw a convertible in a parking lot, top down, of course, air freshener dangling from the mirror, blowing in the wind.

Thanks!
mjh thinks the first hour after sunset is nearly as delicious as the first hour after sunrise.
Albeit, not nearly as cool temperature.
Titan A.E. (3- stars)
There is one long scene set among enormous crystals in space and another of a high-speed chase through orbs of “hydrogen trees” that are beautiful, memorable, and may be all I really needed. Otherwise, a so-so story.
I’m always amazed that anyone imagines technology capable of destroying or creating an entire planet, though we see that time and time again. Terra-forming an existing planet is ambitious enough. (And fraught with peril, per Firefly.) I couldn’t not think of Matt Damon when I heard his voice, whereas the other voices remained anonymous despite belonging to familiar actors.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2 stars)
Third time is no charm. Granted, the first T was phenomenal. Surprisingly, T2 was even better. (Similar to Alien and Aliens.) Since T2, I’ve become a fan of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TV). But T3 just remakes a portion of T2 with a far-less likeable John Connor. (I do like Claire Danes, who inspires Connor’s best laugh-out-loud line: “You remind me of my mother,” after she does something particularly hard-ass.)
Of course, Ahnold gets the funniest lines. And some terribly predictable lines like “she’ll be bahk.”
When our heroes explore the underground 70s-era bunker, it looked a lot like the one in Colossus: The Forbin Project. Perhaps, T3 tips its hat to a progenitor.
