No, no Uncle Phil moments. It was actually a big tearjerker, as this one focused on Toki's kindness, illness, physical degeneration, imprisonment, freeing, failing battle against Raoh, and some of his final days.

When you remove all the exploding heads and Mad Max imagery, Fist of the North Star is just one gigantic tragedy.


The artwork in the new movies is incredibly good, too.

Awesome and depressing sunset!

Yeah, that is beautiful (even if it's depressing, too). I'd like to see this movie at some point.

hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

finally sat myself down to watch this, and it was pretty good. never actually read the book, but ill probably have to do that now. also i thought marvin was funny with his depression.

Indeed, you have to read the book. I've read the whole series (it has 5 parts) a couple of years ago and it's simply amazing. I'm a Hitchhikers' fan ever since.

Movie, from a book-fan point of view, was much worse. In about half of the movie, the plot changes drasticly, compared to the one in the book. And the movie is much easier to understand - I find the series very abstract.

I've been a huge Hitch-Hiker's fan since my early teens. I wasn't wild about the movie though, in part because of how they portrayed my favourite character, Zaphod Beeblebrox. Yes, he's always been an obnoxious egomaniac of truly epic proportions, but he wasn't nearly as stupid in the books as they made him out to be in the film...presumably just to play more aptly into the hands of the added Arthur/Trillian subplot, which was pure Hollywood-ism. Unlike a lot of the critics, I don't believe that Sam Rockwell was miscast in the role. He made an awesome Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, thus I got all excited when I heard that he was going to be playing Zaphod, and I do still believe that he had the capacity to provide an enjoyable and far more accurate portrayal of the character - it's just that if the script and direction call for him to do nothing more than whoop and wave his arms about for the entire duration of his screentime, there's not a huge deal that the actor can do about it.

The Strangers

I do not scare easily. Whenever I see horror movies with my friends, I laugh at them whenever they jump. But this movie...man, it seemed so real. I actually jumped during many parts, and even screamed during one. Those people and their stupid masks, grr...:P

A Shot in The Dark: Classic Peter Sellers all the way through,

One of the many high points of the original Pink Panther series, and the only movie in the Peter Sellers/Blake Edwards series not to use Pink Panther in the title.

Babel. Simply amazing movie (disturbing in many parts though)
