It's pretty fun, but every time I've gotten on the Simpson's ride, the screen is really dim for some reason.

In soviet russia, faux dive not real dive you!

"for Meat!"
"And Milk!"
"And Milk!"

Bart's nightmare is pretty fun, but hard as hell.  I only beat it recently on a genesis emulator.  The Konami Simpsons arcade game is a classic though.

Now with vitamin R.

Yeah well, the Simpsons stopped being about social satire and more about branding a long time ago.  These aren't characters now, they're mascots.  The weird thing is they still don't work as family friendly theme park subjects.  Disneyland works a lot better because those characters are generic icons, familiar to

Go make me a squashed strawberry alley-cat.

I fell asleep the first couple of times trying to watch it, but I persisted and it became one of my favorite movies.  Learning to stay awake is a very important skill if you want to dive deeper into art-house stuff, and for that I'm very grateful to Bladerunner.

Oh, no downside.  Just that life becomes a horrible waking nightmare, randomly invaded by hallucinations of bugs and clowns.  Otherwise, graveyard shift is pretty sweet.

I think people might just be responding negatively to the protagonist.  A good movie can be made about a complete douche (other than the Zach Braff kind), I just haven't seen one.  I've known plenty of people like this, I suppose there should be something out there reflecting that experience.

For real?  And c'mon, ninja turtles and penguins of madagascar don't count.

"You know what?  I've got a ball.  Perhaps you'd like to bounce it".

Holy Shit! I was thinking of Dagon but I didn't think anyone would get it.  That's a great example of that kind of ending though.  Usually the protagonist chooses to leave the normal world, but here he goes because he doesn't really have a choice.  He's already a half-burnt fish-man, and Dagon is about to take over

That little boy went into the cartoon???!!!  NOTHING IS REAL!!

I just use Paper.

I mostly know Ferngully from seeing it at least 4 times during a "movie day" in middle school.  Biology classes always trot that movie out.  Now they have something to replace it with.

Yeah, I remember Rock-a-Doodle gave me the creeps.  All those Don Bluth movies do.

There needs to be a list style article about this subject:  Top 10 movies where the protagonist chooses to leave the human world and become a mermaid, or whatever.

I agree the movie does look beautiful, but like the review said, it's beautiful on a technical level only, while the design is uninspired and boring.  I mean, look at that snail up there.  It's the Shrek problem: do I need to see that things pores?
