I wish we’d seen more of those machines, I really liked the bunch-of-arms-on-tracks design.

Good guys may only be underdogs, apparently.

They did fun things with the lighting, making the most of all that CG horsepower in a way that would have been difficult in hand-painted animation.

Bakshi’s Mirror of Galadriel scene still stands above Jackson’s. He should have homaged the shit out of that one, too.

How would you not remember the male lead of the Best Star Wars Movie?

So Penny Dreadful, except sharing no characters or setting with Penny Dreadful. One wonders why they didn’t just call it City of Angels.

In 1979 I was convinced of this.

How do you pronounce laser? NASA? SCUBA?

Artoo should probably be there, too.
