i was talking about keeping the film in the 80s and keeping Nixon in the story. I heard they were trying to take that out but he had a hand in keeping the story intact.
I'm all for the squid but its not happening. Plenty of stupid people go to the theaters all the time so i could hear people say "that fucking squid was stupid. that was just weird". Even with fucking Dr. Manhattan and all the other shit i could hear people saying it. I don't think it'd be enough for the studio to say "take out the squid" but some fear from the general audience is keeping it out. trust me, i think the same way you and the other posters think. it's stupid and all but we have to roll with the decision. and i agree, with HP and LOTR people would accept it, even if this movie isn't so much magical as it is scientific.
