"Don't eat that. It's Pluto."
This is what Vincent says to his older brother in "Gattaca" when Vincent is laying out the planetary system in a parking lot with various stand-ins for the planet themselves, such as an apple for Pluto which his younger brother snatches and tries to eat.

ReplyDeleteI approve.
(That image is also quite lovely.)
So I sat down to watch "Gattaca" again - finally! - after that whole 1997 thing last week and for whatever reason this whole Pluto thing is what most struck me. I guess I'm just still bitter about Pluto being re-classified.
