Oh gosh, how could I have forgotten that film?
Who Framed
Roger Rabbit has to be one of my favorite animated cross-overs of all time. I remember when I
first saw that as I kid I thought, "Woah". The thing had to be the most astonishing film I'd ever seen
in my life at that time, and it still is...come to think of it. It had me absolutely convinced that toons were
real -- scariest, yet coolest, thing in the universe.
To this day, I'm still scared of it. And yet,
it's one of those movies that you just can't stop watching.... My dad almost got
to work on it actually, but something came up and he didn't get to assist in the animation. You can imagine how
much we all regret that now. (snigger)

Mitch - Your dad got a chance to work on it but didn't ? I am amazed!!! Yeah, that has to be my
favorite movie of all time. It thrilled me as a kid (even though I'm 15 right now) and is one of the reasons
I've decided on a career in animation. I absolutely love it!!!!!

Bill - Yep -- he came this close to working on the
thing, but alas!...it didn't happen. It sucks. Well, actually...he did do some rough animation on Jessica Rabbit
before-hand, but that stuff never made the cut.
And awesome -- good for you! That makes two of us who
will go into the animation field.
Another film I love is Watership Down.
It has to be the most depressing little feature I've ever seen in my life, but it sure is beautifully done. I
had a chance to (finally) read the book only a few weeks back, and it was just lovely. The film makes it seem ten
times more violent, though. Heh.

Mitch- Here's my favorite line from Roger Rabbit...
Roger: Yeah, check the
probait. Why, my uncle Thumper had a problem with his probait, and he had to take these big pills and drink lots
of water.

I have only seen the end of the Roger Rabbit movie. I still don't understand it. Maybe next
time, I'll watch the whole thing through.

CountSolo: Hitchcock films RULE! You
must see at least one.. no.. FIVE before you die, lol. Psycho is definitely his most popular, but there are
others that are wonderful as well. Vertigo took my breath away, and Rear Window was great as well.
North
by Northwest was awesome... great music, and what was great were the scenes without ANY music. I recently saw
Torn Curtain, which was cool for Paul Newman and Julie Andrews, but not his best work. Oooh, I need to watch more
of Hitchcock!

I saw Last Mimzy recently. Was good, but I think I had
the giggles or something, either that or the parts I thought were supposed to be serious were actually supposed
to be funny and that was okay that I laughed ... I dunno.
I've got '24 Hour Party People' coming in the
mail, and I should be getting Eragon this weekend. Should be. =P

Well, aside from the
Incredibles? I have a few. But when you say action, do you mean just straight on action, or is action/adventure a
possibility?

Well, there is a long list. If the Incredibles
doesn't count, I love Pirates, First Knight, James Bond, National Treasure, Heroic movies, Tomb Raider, the list
keeps going.

Favorite action/adventure films:
Indiana Jones
series
The Lord of the Rings (more of a drama, action/adventure mix)
Jurassic Park series
Star Wars series
I
like pretty much any action/adventure film, as long as the story is well-constructed and "solid".
