 One nice thing about The Incredibles is how venomous its hate is for that greedy corporate rear end in a top hat who wants old poor ladies to suffer for the almighty shareholders. Dude gets almost liquefied and the movie is like LOL REKT BITCH.

It's not an ideologically consistent movie at all, but it's not Randian jerking off of *job creators* by any stretch.

Well, The Incredibles is a pastiche of the early 60s (space-age but no hippies), so it makes sense given that the percentage of tv-owning households had gone from like ten to ninety percent in the last decade and change - consider the levels of cell phone ownership from 2000 to now.

And TV was a target of moral panic as soon as it became popular, it was constantly commented on that people spent too much time watching TV, that it made you go blind and rotted your brain, etc., etc.

edit: This reminded me of Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which lol :spooky:
