In a movie season filled with blockbusters-in-waiting, there will surely be more major successes driven by special effects. So far, there are already two -- X2 and Matrix Reloaded. And the themes of these twin cinematic record-breakers are telling.
Outrage Overload! In an era of Faux News, wars of hubris, all-out assaults on American rights by the right, and 24 hour spin on every (American) channel, the primary force of justice is a loose alliance of two-fisted liberals getting involved and taking back their country. Get Outraged.

From there, opinions diverge dramatically.
