That is the one in which I'm most interested, and not even shallowly (okay okay okay a little shallowly)! I live in a pretty constant state of wanting to have (or having) an argument and trying to save the world.
It's the one I feel I did the least justice to, because it deserved a review of its own, if not one of those BFI Classics monographs. (It doesn't have one. I just checked. What a crime.) I am glad the salient quality of you must see this yesterday came through.
But also: did you watch Fantastic Planet in French with subtitles, or in English overdub, because Barry Bostwick and I am trying to decide which is the fucked-uppeder way to encounter early-Seventies animation with attendant atmospheric scoring.
Subtitles! I prefer original voices when I can get them. I am trying to remember now what I encountered Barry Bostwick in that was not Rocky Horror and was deeply confusing: oh, right. The original Broadway cast recording of Grease.
Also, here is a shiny new dime to bet I would last approximately 1% of the runtime of Cherry 2000 before having to go and do laundry. In the next town over.
I suspect you would appreciate E. but also wonder why she hasn't relocated to the perfectly nice trans-inclusive lesbian separatist commune that obviously in this future of the '80's exists somewhere in Zone 6.
I don't know whether my response to this quote should be a) "Ah yes, On Brand for This Reviewer;" b) "So shines human genius in this jaded, angst-ridden world;" or c) "Were I not happily married I would so buy your brain dinner."
I am complimented by all three options!
And I don't think anyone ever went wrong with Daffy Duck.
I sincerely believe I encountered Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century for the first time in the premiere episode of Babylon 5, where Garibaldi shows it to Delenn. I can live with that.
[edit] There is also a 2009 remake of Witch Mountain, which is the one I feared you might be watching; I hadn't even known of the 1995 one
I hadn't known there was one from 2009! I suppose I appreciate that Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann have cameos in both remakes.
