Ratatouille was very goo . didnt think i would like it from the ads - and was pleasantly suprised.


Aflect was the BOMB in Phantoms, yo ! (gues sthe quote)


I actually kind of liked phantoms as well ... but it wasnt the movie for o'toole

Yeah, Jay and Silent were right about Affleck. Still, if O'Toole owes for any bad performance is the sloppy drunken job he did in Caligula. Although I doubt if his acting could have saved it.

Strangely enough, for a film so well-reviewed, I thought Ratatouille was seriously lacking in the story department. Considering that it's a film about artistry and inspiration, I found it more than a little odd that the main human character remains an incompetent goof throughout the picture, when he could have learned to unleash his "inner cook" as a result of the rat's efforts...

It was fun to watch and I liked the animated rats, but, it didn't do for me what, say, Finding Nemo did for me.

The human remained underdeveloped on purpose, i thought. The story was about Remy.


The incredibles is one o fmy all time favorite movies. Pixar (and especially pixar movies from Brad Bird) are probably the best family films out there. they are appropriate without ever being preachy or pandering. plus the animation is always excellent and their casting is usually dead on.


Back on topic, when i smoked, i was partial to Zippos for lighters (although when you smoke, anything that will light the little fuckers works)

I am a loyal Solichnaya drinker. I appreciate the quality of brands like Grey Goose, but for my money, Stoli has a unique taste that i prefer.

A little bit off-topic...I just wanted to pop in and defend Hercules.

I'd really have to say that it's one of my absolute favourite Disney movies. I was born-and-raised on the classics...Sword and the Stone, Pinocchio, Robin Hood, 101 Dalmatians, stuff like that. Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin came out shortly after I was born, and those became pretty major for me, too.

Hercules came out when I was around 7-8. We went to see it in theatres, and I fell in love. It's the first time I can really think of being obsessed with a movie...to this day its one of my all-time favourite movies, bar none. Yes, it shits all over Greek myth - so what? It's a Disney movie, just roll with it:) .

Poor Herc...gets all the shit...

Criterion. I actually designed a billboard and did a radio commercial for them as class projects.
