Watership Down is on now.


Rock. On.


EDIT - And to make it even better... The Last Unicorn is on NOW, and then Watership Down afterwards.





They just absolutely do NOT make them like this anymore.

True that. I watched "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" a couple of days ago, then I saw "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" yesterday and was disgusted. What the hell happened???

What happened? Only god knows. Possibly that people don't care about quality any more and it's all about profit. Kids now-days are like putty; they can be molded to love whatever crap is dished out at them (That Pooh Hefalump movie disgusted me, while little kids say it's the best thing since the GameBoy)

But not all movies are bad. I mean....err... *blinks and scratches her head* ....the Lilo and Stich movie wasn't that bad. I found it bearable. That is, until they turned it into an after school series...ugh...

Another problem is the overuse of CG in animated movies IMO. A blend of classic animation and CG just looks crappy most of the time. I miss good old handmade animation...

Marx Brothers double feature; Horse Feathers and Duck Soup in my Intro to film history class.

****ing hilarious. Very few modern comedies even come close to these.

Same here. Waaaay more nude males than the previous Jackass effort, but it seemed to go over really well with the audience. Bees in the limo = priceless.

They went a lot farther with the stunts than they ever have before, I thought. This was the first time I've ever had to look away in a movie.

Plus, I saw it in the best environment possible, a sold out show with 200+ college guys. It was ****ing nuts.

Summer of Sam

was pretty good, although adrian brody dancing provacatively in hot pants and a stud collar will be giving me nightmares for weeks....

Creepshow

The theater on campus showed it. Romero was there to meet fans/sign autographs and host a Q+A. It was a lot of fun.

Plus, trying to one-up everyone else visual wise, they ended up screwing themselves. I prefer old animation... and not TONS of CGI. The old vs new Willy Wonka argument is a perfect example. But we won't go there...
