Ero convinto che
Stealth fosse brutto, ma non credevo fosse
così brutto.
Nell'immediato futuro la marina degli
Stati Uniti sta sperimentando un nuovo prototipo di caccia/bombardiere/caffettiera senza pilota.
Una ficata pazzesca: l'aggeggio è dotato di serie di vetri oscurabili, linea aggressiva, armamento futuribile e - tenersi forte -
va a metano!!! Gran bazza per le giornate di stop del traffico...
Neanche a dirlo al comando c'è una intelligenza artificiale basata su una serie di paroloni ad effetto (genetic-neural-pital-next-gen) che gli conferiscono una personalità sbarazzina ed un fastidioso senso del dovere.
Per l'addestramento (eh, oh...) viene inserito nella squadriglia di punta della marina, così composta:
- Figaccione Vero Americano®: scavezzacollo ma tecnicamente insuperabile, segretamente innamorato della...
- Strafiga, sopravvissuta al remake di Non Aprite Quella Porta e soprattutto al temibile Settimo Cielo; rompiballe piena di scrupoli morali (eh beh, brava soldatina!),
- Il nero, grande sciupafemmine, sempre buono per morire presto e fornire agli altri motivo di vendetta.
Va tutto bene e l'allegro gruppetto bombarda in qua e in là i nemici della democrazia fintanto non accade
l'imprevedibile: il nostro eroico aeroplanino viene
colpito da un fulmine (sì, non ci si crede...) e
diventa malvagio.
Puttana scorreggia, lo sapevo che dovevano metterci la messa a terra...
L'empio veivolo inizia a ravanare tra i piani segreti del governo (saggio lasciarli su internet...) e decide che è ora di bombardare un po' i vecchi
Boris del cazzo.
Parte dunque un'avvincente inseguimento aereo, con i buoni alla caccia del jet cattivo mentre gli alti papaveri di
Washington sono impegnati ad insabbiare il tutto, anche a scapito della vita dei nostri eroi!
Ah, stolti accecati dalla sete di potere! Peeentitevi! Nel mezzo, tanto per non farsi mancare nulla, la sgnoccola precipita in
Corea Del Nord (oh, ma tra tutti i posti sfigati del pianeta...) e ci si fa una capatina anche in
Alaska,
Tailandia,
Kagikistan (o altro
-stan equivalente) e
Birmania (che mi rifiuto di chiamare
Myanmar, e se non gli va bene che mi dichiarino pure guerra).
Va bene che vanno a metano e consumano poco, ma le prestazioni e l'autonomia dovrebbero risentirne. Questi cosi invece, da un calcolo approssimato, viaggiano a circa 6.000 km/h ed hanno
dei bei bomboloni che gli consentono di fare forse anche 20 o 30.000 km senza scalo. Non male... prendo il modello coi cerchi in lega!
Sceneggiatura imbarazzante, i dialoghi più verbosi e farciti di frasi ad effetto della storia del cinema,
regia fetente contribuiscono alla creazione di un trash ultra-moderno. Lo spettatore trascorrerà il 90% del tempo con le braccia alzate in segno di esultanza per le puttanate olimpioniche mostrate.
Lezione imparata: dotare di un arsenale un prototipo di cui neanche il progettista capisce appieno il funzionamente non è una grande idea.
E, per la serie
forse non tutti sanno che...: gli USA hanno sparse nei cieli di tutti stati più merdosi del mondo delle mega-cisterne aviotrasportate senza pilota che girano in tondo in attesa che qualcuno venga a fare self-service.
Stupendo. Ah: finale con colpo di schiena! Guardate fin dopo tutti i titoli di coda!

Biel, Jessica
Nome di battesimo: Biel, Jessica Claire
Data di nascita: 3 March 1982
Altezza: 5' 7½" (1.71 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Born in Ely, Minnesota, and raised in Boulder, Colorado, Jessica Biel has paid her dues in the Hollywood scene. A breakout star as Mary Camden on the WB's highest rated show, "7th Heaven" (1996), Jessica still manages to make a few appearances per season, even though she has left the show, in the midst of an exploding film career. Last fall she excited and terrified moviegoers with her portrayal of Erin, "Leatherface's" greatest nemesis to date, in New Line Cinema's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), a remake of the famous original. Having finished filming, Blade: Trinity (2004) in Vancouver with Wesley Snipes, Ryan Reynolds and Kris Kristofferson, she has recently transported her toned and trained body of a vampire hunter/killer to Australia to fill the uniform and project the integrity of one of filmdom's first female jet-fighter pilots in Columbia/Sony Pictures new film, Stealth (2005), starring Josh Lucas, Jamie Foxx and Sam Shepherd, for director Rob Cohen. Jessica's film career began at age 14 when she played alongside Peter Fonda in his Golden Globe-winning performance in Ulee's Gold (1997). Her other film credits include I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998), Summer Catch (2001), Roger Avary's The Rules of Attraction (2002) and the recently completed Cellular (2004), which stars Chris Evans, Kim Basinger and William H. Macy. Few people know that this powerhouse of acting talent and versatility has a secret talent that has been put on hold for the past eight years, but surfaced last fall when she was offered lead roles on Broadway in "Rent" and "Beauty and the Beast." Demands from her film career took precedence, but hopefully, one of these days soon, we will get to experience just another aspect of this fascinating young woman.
Trivia random: Is of German, French, English and Native American (Choctaw) heritage.

Foxx, Jamie
Nome di battesimo: Bishop, Eric Morlon
Data di nascita: 13 December 1967
Altezza: 5' 10½" (1.79 m)
Ultimi lavori: Biografia:Jamie's mother, Louise, was an adopted child. When her marriage to his father failed, his grandparents, Mark and Estelle Talley, stepped in and, at age 7 months, adopted him too. He says he had a very rigid upbringing that placed him in the Boy Scouts and the church choir. During high school, he played quarterback for his high school team and was good enough that he got press in Dallas newspapers. He studied music in college. He released a music album in 1994, "Peep This" and sings the theme song for his 1999 movie, Any Given Sunday (1999). However, in 1989, his life changed when a girl friend challenged him to get up onstage at the Comedy Club. In fact, he says he took his androgynous stage name because he learned that women got preference for mike time on open stage nights. That led to his being cast in "Roc" (1991) and "In Living Color" (1990) and ultimately to his own WB network TV series. He has a daughter, Corrine, born in 1995, who lives with her mother.
Trivia random: Invited to join AMPAS in 2005.
Citazione random: "CCH Pounder taught me one thing. She said, 'Characters are like putting on a coat. You put the coat on while you work, you take the coat off after it's over.' You need that freshness. I know people who stay in character, and it's the worst thing in the world. You can't go out. They're still in their character and the character residue is too much. I like to go do it, flip it on like a light switch and then flip it off. Then, when we come back in the next morning I flip it back on. That's what keeps things fresh for me."

e pure dei due xXx, se è per questo (che non ho ancora visto... grave carenza)
Però "Dragon: la leggenda di Bruce Lee" non era male... sarà stato un caso!
