"From what I hear, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is really bad. Bad enough for the king of the fanboys, Harry Knowles, to reportedly write, “I hated the film. HATED IT. REALLY HATED IT.” Bad enough that Warner Bros. had the review removed from Aint it Cool News due to a review embargo — though probably it had more to do with it being so damaging to the studio’s marketing of the film (apparently Warners had no issue with Variety publishing its so-so review on the same day). I’m not in the least bit surprised. Most people I know who used to be big Star Wars fans won’t be bothering to see the film. But if it bombs at the box office this weekend, what will t "

"he Jungle Book will always hold a special place in my cinematic heart, as it's the first movie I ever saw in a theatre.

I guess I have thing for remembering movies I see. What I remember most about the movie was how I got creeped out by the python, Kaa (voice of Sterling Halloway).

Not that I wasn't a little disturbed by Shere Kahn as well, but I remember congratulating myself for not getting too scared and running out of the theatre. Had you asked me immediately after I saw the movie in 1990, I surely would ... "

"This series of side-by-side comparisons of frames from various Disney films (via WIRED's Underwire blog) is meant to show how Disney recycles frames from one 2D animated flick to another in order to save time, money and labor value. But more impressively, it's also solid proof of the animation factory's tendency to recycle themes across decades. The tableau above tracks the "nubile nymph dances for plump (read: impotent) male onlookers" theme, first seen in 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and then resurrected 36 years later for Robin Hood. And surely there are more examples of such a scene playing out across the Disney ouevre--it's been at least 17 years since I've seen it, but The Little Mermaid immediately comes to mind. For all the films collecting dust in the Disney vault, there are really only three or four stories being told--young males, abandoned my their families, turn to nature "
