Wait, maybe I do know a friend...

I just finished watching Titan, A.E. on Hulu tonight. It was absolutely free, with limited commercials. (Inconveniently placed, however. You know how on cable, some networks like TNT just have a sort of auto-bot to play commercials at any time, no matter what context of a scene? Same deal here.)

It was a surprisingly good movie. Not great, but a solid good. And I spent all these years thinking it'd be a horrible movie. I started to watch it, expecting to watch something cheesy that I could laugh at. (It was co-written by Josh Whedon, so, I guess I should have expected some good!)

For those not familiar with the movie, it centers around a small group of humans who band together fifteen years after earth is destroyed by these creepy, indescribable aliens. (Seriously, I couldn't even comprehend them while seeing them. Simply amazing.) They are searching for Titan, a ship that holds the key to humanity's survival in a unfriendly universe of alien hostility.

I was watching the credits, because I have a general understanding that these hundreds of people worked on this movie for me to watch, so, I can spend seven minutes reading their names. And at the end what should appear but:
"The events and characters depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events is purely coincidental."

SERIOUSLY? Because my friend Phil's planet blew up and he had to go searching for this one spaceship. Oh no, wait. That never happened.

Thank you, legal department. I'm glad to know the story creators didn't unduly rip off this story from some person's real life experience.
