Throw in "Meet the Feebles and you got a nice trifecta.

yeah , i started it but never finished it myself.
I see enough damn puppets watching TV with my kid.


I'm also probably subconciously measuring it against the other 2 films which are personal favorites ... and it just doesnt fit for me..

i'll probably see it some day and appreciate it on its own merit.

Yeh I was thinking the same thing. A lot of my friends are really into it so I might have to watch it again. I'm kinda sick of hearing the name Peter Jackson its all the media over here talk about in regard to NZ film. There are other NZ filmakers out there......

I read quite a good candid interveiw with him in an old Fatal Visions magazine around the time of the Feebles the other day. It was cool to hear his enthusisam for trashy "B-Movies" and gore (something he'll hopefully come back too). The Japanese premiere of Meet the Feebles sounded pretty crazy they had that cow with the machine gun burst out and scare the shit out of everyone during the film.

crazy japanese !

i dont think we'll see Jackson come back to his roots now ..
I mean that would be cool, but i cant see it.

i like that he still calls his company Wingnut Films :D

Yeh you're probably right hopefully he won't turn into another Ritchie Cunningham or Speilberg. There were always rumours of him doing another zombie type film which could happen I guess. I think it'd be great to see him do a Romero style Dawn of The Dead film.

i was more than a little dissapointed that his next choice was King Kong .. seems pointless to me. Unless its just another chance to showcase the landscape of NZ.

to me its as pointless as remaking Star Wars.
