  • I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.

    It’s a film (like many at the time) that’s much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.

    You’ll probably be entertained though (it’s certainly still a competently made film) so I’d say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.


  • Usually, the brackets include a part of the sentence that wasn’t said but the interviewer believes the speaker meant or was implied.

    In cases like this, maybe the speaker was speaking quickly (and, so, didn’t say the words during the interview) or were dropping implied parts is the sentence (like we all sometimes do when speaking casually; like if I say, “Quick thinking,” to someone. It’s implied that I was saying, “[That was] quick thinking”).

    This also gets used often if the interviewee is talking about someone they know personally but we don’t so they’re usually just using the first name (e.g. “Yeah; me and [General] Howard [Zimmerman] go way back”).
