The wonders of modern technology
So we sent to see Ant-Man on Friday, and the filmmakers amazed me in the very first scene, a flashback to 1989. Michael Douglas bursts into a government office looking just like Michael Douglas circa Fatal Attraction! I couldn't even tell you what the dialogue was in that scene; I was too distracted by the sound of my lower jaw hitting the floor. Given all the CGI special effects in the movie, that was the one that impressed me most. If they can de-age actors so perfectly, perhaps we'll never again have to see an actor playing Young Whoever that looks nothing like the star playing Modern-Day Whoever (looking at you, Nick Cage and Ghost Rider!).
