x341 DONOVAN'S BRAIN (10/29/99)

MOVIE
"Donovan's Brain" is a heart warming movie about a man's love for a rich industrialist's brain. And to be honest, who could blame the scientist? I mean a brain from a left handed guy named "Donovan" is definitely something you want to keep and cherish. Possessing such a brain would automatically place one at the top of any social ladder and ensure great wealth. Of course you'd have to pamper the brain, because I'm sure a brain from a person named "Donovan" would appreciate high quality brain juice and all that other stuff. It's really the lack of proper pampering that causes all the trouble in the movie. When our scientist, who possesses "Donovan"'s brain due to a plane crash, decides to keep it in a cheap aquarium not even fit for a dying goldfish, the brain is bound to lash out. Using its powerful brain powers, and you better believe "Donovan"'s brain has powerfully powerful powers, the brain manipulates the scientist to use "Donovan"'s vast monetary resources to do its bidding, like murder enemies. Of course the scientist fights the brain's influence and bad things happen. The lesson is to always follow what "Donovan"'s brain tells you to do and don't doubt its powers. Nancy Davis Reagan also shows up the movie as a woman who gives blow jobs to our scientist.
