So this is the magic of the Shakespeare Effect...

Not what I was expecting, but cool nonetheless.

Flying cars will totally be compared to old-fashioned Ferraris in the future.

Would it not be more fair to compare modern cinema and broadway shows to Shakespeare?  As others have said before, he was a play writer, not a novelist, and his works are meant for performance, not reading.

OT:  Flying cars will probably run on hydrogen fuel cells, have incredible amounts of thrust, and be quite hard to maneuver, resembling controls more akin to helicopters than traditional cars.  That's my prediction.

We have something like those. They're called hovercrafts.

The hat and boots supply the perfect levels of aerodynamics and wind resistance to not only sustain stylish falling, but to remain in-control during the experience.

It's required.

When you were a kid? I watched it up until the day the VHS caught fire and the VCR failed to eject it.

I need to get this on DVD. It's been at least three years since I've seen that movie.

OH AND DID YOU GUYS HEARD, THEY ARE MAKING A THIRD ONE.
I am so going to watch it. I dont care if I ll be the only person in the movies that is older than 10, but I am going to see it. x)

I thought the same thing too. :D   And this is BIG because I never see movies in the theaters. NEVER. This movie may finally be my c-c-combo b-breaker!
