2010: Moby Dick

Barry Bostwick and Renée O'Connor team up to hunt down a gigantic whale somewhere in the south seas in this 2010 tale of a man, a whale, and a dream of killing that whale. Watch with me as I: Watch it for the first time Compare it extensively to the original Herman Melville novel (it's about a guy hunting a whale) Pick apart the intricacies of the plot (guy hunts whale, whale tries to eat aircraft in peace) Analyze the symbolism (leg = penis; whale = thing that eats penises) Get my 1978 Battlestar Galactica references all wrong (Starbuck = Apollo, Cassiopeia = Serina, robot dog = son, "biddi-biddi-biddi" = Twiki from Buck Rogers) Review whale biology (female whales have udders, right?) Never, ever compare it to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, which this is better than I praise the sets, CGI, directing, and acting—where appropriate (I'm lookin' at you, guy-with-the-blank-stare-of-a-cow). And I complain that everything is lit like an Italian restaurant. Enjoy!
