The list

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, Dec. 2,2007 10:46 p.m.

This is the last list of my opinions that will appear. Henceforth, I will keep my trap shut and let someone else do the talking. But I will remain respectfully, a Hoosier at Heart. Good things: • Aerosmith • Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies • Mountain Dew • My mother • Curling up in bed after being outside in the bitter cold • Bob Saget • Ice cold beer

Attention to realism

By Dave Dawson · Friday, Nov. 30,2007 2 p.m.

I would think, at this point, almost everyone in the universe has seen the film “Transformers.” In case you haven’t, here is a quick run-down: Machine-creatures from outer space come to Earth to do battle, and after two hours of buildup, ultimately do so in downtown Los Angeles. OK ... a little far-fetched. Also, the quirky teenager at the center of it all somehow manages to be the hero of the planet despite all of the wedgies he was undoubtedly powerless to prevent prior to the arrival of his intergalactic robot friends. Also a bit implausible, but it feels good to root for the kid. However, here is where I draw the line: When the fighter jets are dogfighting amongst L.A.’s skyscrapers in the final battle, an airplane flies by a glass building and there is no reflection!
