The last film I saw of his was Cool World which was somewhat of a mixed bag. I remember sneaking a copy of Fritz the Cat and C**nskin home after a friend let me borrow his . I lived in mortal fear of my parents catching me with them, particularly as Fritz had become famous around my area as "the sick and twisted cartoon with the cat". It still amazes me that the guy behind those was also semi-responsible for most of the old Marvel cartoons! 

Very funny, for my favorite indie I'd have to go with Donnie Darko, it makes you think about life which impressed me and kept me wondering. 8)  

Weird Science is an awesome movie. Oingo Boingo did the theme song for it. :wink: B_B 

good movie pyro, my favorite line i cant say here though. think stuttering bartender. 

anything with critters looking for "brrrraaaiiiinnnsss" ) 

Ah, good old Return of the Living Dead! Wilst on this subject, have you seen the trailer for the fourth zombie film from Romero, Land of the Dead? I don't know about you, but I haven't been this excited about seeing a film for ages! 

Kudos to that, Biceps. I love Willy Wonka, although I'm not sure I share your sentiments with the Oompa Loompas. To each his own, right? :) I'm excited to see what Johnny Depp can do with that role though. He's a genius. I haven't seen the new Star Wars yet...hopefully, this coming week. And Batman Begins comes out in less than a month! Yay. B_B  

Oh dude, i can't wait to see episode 3, and Batman Begins is supposed to be good too. Did you the new Alfred is the same guy that played Austin's dad in Austin Powers 3: Goldmember? 

and i think ray i got to say that was a good movie and maby fever pitch u no all about those RED SOX :D any of u guys see that movie if u did that is why my name is {Hb}RED=SOC :twisted:  

Pyro, when is the 4th Harry Potter supposed to be out? I wasn't at all impressed with Prizoner of Azkaban. The director, Alfonso Cuaron, screwed everything up. The grounds were changed, like when they're walking to Hagrid's. The castle is different. I know this wasn't his fault, but the new Dumbledore is horrid. The story felt rushed. I was impressed, however, with the Hippogriff. That part was wicked. And I really liked Lupin. But yeah, if you're going to work on a movie series, keep things the same. Don't change the scenery! I liked Colombus' versions better anyway. It's more of how I pictured it from the book. I've only seen one movie of Mike Newell's (Mona Lisa Smile) which was ok. It was a chick flick, which I'm not really a fan of, but it'll be interesting to see what he did with Goblet of Fire. And I'm spent.... B_B 

Cha-Chi] David Linch's first flick "Eraserhead": goodluck fidning that.  

Ah yes, let's get back to big bangs and explosions. Star Wars: Episode III was certainly a return to form, but I couldn't help but laugh at a certain section towards the end of the film. I won't give it away to those who haven't seen it, but it happens during the resurrection of Anakin as a certain helmet wearing chap.  

I've got to agree with you on that one my friend! 

The last film to really impress me was Sideways - a modern day road movie incorporating that doesn't spiral into gross-out teen comedy or obvious jokes. The characterisations really push the human element of teh film, pushing it almost to be a kind of Thelma & Lousie for the male of the species. Good stuff!  

Well, games and music were taken so I am asking about my own personal passion. What are everyones favorites and just in general taste in movies?  

thats funny, i was looking through digitalcranium.com a few seconds ago and came across appleseed and said "hey that looks kinda cool" and then i read your post haha. did u buy it online or at a store..but anyways back on topic my favorite movies r: black hawk down, life w/martin lawrence and eddie murphy, behind enemy lines, enemy of the state, sin city, and fight club 

the werst one out of them all was the on with the penguin and Arnold S. in it. uhg...horrible show!  

My newest favorite digital anime is Appleseed... Thats of course where my character name is from. Cause she's hot, she fights like a man, and so do I.. :) (i try anyway)

That's funny, because I was just watching Runaway Jury last night, and I loved it because one of the female characters in it fought like a woman, instead of how Hollywood usually portrays us (i.e. face slapping and other useless techniques). :) 

Xena comes to mind. I'd love to fight like her. The women in horror films always kill me. Running through the forest in high heels, screeching (like that's going to scare away the monster...psh). Then she always manages to trip over a tree root...then zoom in on her horrified face....not to mention she hasn't stopped screeching this entired time (great lung capacity). Good heavens, put those heels to good use and start kicking stuff! Stab the moster/killer in the eye with the mascara wand! Spray hairspray and light him on fire! ANYTHING! Yes, mascara wands really hurt...stupid little pokey things. And no, I'm not really all that violent. I'm not violent either, but i agree. Be resourcefull and start kickin some booty... B_B

Ok, I have never even heard of any of those movies you mentioned above there. I guess that is bad.  

I don't want a large Farva. I want a Liter-Cola  

ah yes... super troopers is a hometown favorite here in batavia, you'll hear lines quoted from it often... also by that writer was Club Dread, which wasn't great but it had some funny scenes with all the same characters as super troopers.... and I hear they're thinking of making a sequel to this instant classic! Also, did anyone look past tom cruise's average to bad performance to see the special effects, :( I hope I'm not flying solo on this one.. hmmm *crickets churping* *tumble weed passes by*, guess so

I wanted to leave during the movie it was so bad. I still haven't seen the new Batman movie which everyone keeps telling me is good. I need to go and see it, I guess. I want to see the Wonka movie, too. I liked the original one, so I'm curious to see how the new one compares to it.
