If you've finished gabbing about Limitless, why not turn your attention to Paul? The reference-happy science-fiction comedy was the latest bit of geekbait to slightly disappoint at the box office -- paging Kick-Ass -- but that doesn't mean there aren't numerous things to discuss about the Greg Mottola film.
For instance!
· What made you see Paul?
· Did the warring tones of sentiment and violence mar what could have been an excellent comedy?
· Does a reference-heavy science-fiction film work when two supposedly in-tune geek characters don't notice the Mos Eisley Cantina music playing at a bar?
· Did Simon Pegg and Nick Frost miss the energetic touch of Edgar Wright?
· Was this Seth Rogen's most likable performance since Knocked Up?
· Were you happy with the special effects?
· What were Sigourney Weaver, Jane Lynch and Blythe Danner even doing in this one?
· Were you surprised by the vocal cameo from the top, Oscar-winning director?
· If you didn't see Paul, what made you stay away?
The floor is yours, dear readers. Let's dissect Paul!
