![]() ![]() With the film celebrating its 40th anniversary this October, it has been restored in 4K and is playing in theaters around the UK starting this weekend (September 9), something that was apparently in the works even before Bowie's death. The story of Tommy Newton's (David Bowie) time on Earth is equally moving and depressing, and it is still the most intimate portrayal of an alien to date. Some of you may argue that Tommy never actually loved Mary Lou. ![]() This is made worse when he takes the form of a museum curator to woo her. Megamind and Roxanne's history isn't exactly the best premise for a relationship, since it mostly consisted of him kidnapping her every now and then. Naturally, things don't go as planned, especially once Megamind also falls for Roxanne (Tina Fey), the whip smart reporter who supposedly was also Metro Man's number one gal (can you guess which superhero/reporter pairing acted as inspiration here? Hint: we'll be getting to them in a bit). So what happens when he finally defeats his old foe? Boredom ensues, and the brainiac villain comes up with the seemingly brilliant idea to create his own hero to fight - Titan (or Tighten, as the "hero" himself spells it). Goody Two-Shoes, as Megamind likes to call him. His whole life revolves around fighting his arch enemy, Metro Man (Brad Pitt), or Mr. Having been sent to Earth as a baby, with a constant stream of bad luck, outsider Megamind (Will Ferrell) decides his destiny lies in becoming the baddest supervillain the world has seen.

Even though he goes off to find the other stranded Loriens with bad girl Six in the end, he promises to return to Sarah, and we'd like to think that he will. It's Four's love for Sarah, the popular cheerleader turned reclusive photographer, that makes him stop running, plant his feet in the ground, and put up a fight. Along with eight others, he escaped the invading Mogadorians (arguably the least impressive alien species to date), who eventually managed to track him down in Paradise, Ohio. Like so many aliens before him, Four was sent to Earth from his home planet Lorien for protection. Lucky for him, she seemed pretty into him, too. You see, Loriens don't love like the humans - when they fall in love, it's forever. ![]() That's what it was like for Number Four, aka John Smith, when he encountered the lovely Sarah Hart. Imagine knowing with absolute certainty that you'd met "the one" at age 16. ![]()
