Hello, interwebz.
This is my corner.  You're welcome to share it with me if you like.  Just realize, as this is my corner—the corner which belongs to me, my piece of the blagosphere—I can and will do just about whatever I want. 


So.  The post.


The Planet of the Apes prequel came out today, very aptly titled Rise of the Planet of the Apes, or, as I like to call it, Rise of the Planet of the Articles.  It actually got some very good reviews, which came as a surprise to me.  I guess it shouldn't have, they got James Franco to sign on to it.  But the whole idea of it was just sorta weird to me or something.


Conceptually, it makes sense.  But the whole science part of this science-fiction film seems a bit weak to me.  The ability of the brain to grow and adapt is nothing new—any psychology student could tell you that (haha, psychology).  There aren't chemicals that can permanently enhance the brain that I know of.  I could be wrong.  I guess I'm focusing too much on the science part of it.  I mean, really, how important can something that only makes up half of a genre title be?
