What the…?

In an event as surreal as anything that happens in the film being discussed, The New York Times reviewed the DVD release of Phantom Empire, yes The New York Times, and what’s more it’s a favorable review of not only the DVD but of the serial itself, commenting on how everyone’s complete conviction in the proceedings keeps the film from becoming silly.  All I can say is “What the…?”  Man, how times have changed, could you even imagine Captain Video or The Last Frontier getting reviewed by such a pretigious paper back when they were released on DVD?  Me neither.  If you want to see the article it’s at:
