Speed Racer was, like, Super-Technicolor. Sadly, it bombed.

My VHS machine ate up the last movie that was in it. So it's great for Passover when we want to watch Prince of Egypt, but if you want to put anything else in…

What's the main difference between 48fps and the 120Hz TruMotion crap? I was watching Lupin III Episode 0 at my girlfriend's house and she had the TruMotion crap on her TV, and it was weird. The character animation was still the typical somewhat-choppy low budget anime style, but the camera pans all looked like they…

I guess they don't want a too crowded For Your Consideration slate? Argo's probably an easy bet for the serious adult drama slot, and both The Hobbit and Dark Knight Rises will be pushed as prestigious commercial fare, and if Cloud Atlas turns out good, it'll be a serious player for the "Tree of Life" slot.

Didn't both Vertov and Eisenstein get in some trouble with Stalin? Eisenstein I know had a heart attack when he heard Stalin had seen Ivan the Terrible Part II.

@avclub-620982009915db2a0b4a49e224bad30c:disqus : I don't know if I'd say that with such certainty. The animation is amazing, but I don't know if I could really definitively say it's better animated than, say, Akira or Ponyo.

Jurassic Park is probably the definitive tipping point, but as far as which CGI blockbuster deserves to make such a list, nothing comes close to the Lord of the Rings films (which I'd hope they can count as one since it was actually filmed as one).
