Plus he actually seemed to show respect for FX artists before he got cut off.

No, it seems they were different writers. Sho Aikawa (the FMA guy) did write Urutsukidoji, however, as well as Angel Cop, which in a way is an even weirder transition going from anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to Fritz Lang as hero against the Nazis in the FMA movie.

But the author's political spending is something worth giving a shit about. You can still enjoy the work, you just might want to rent it from the library or buy it used if you don't want your money going to objectionable causes.

I wish it was a drop less graphic in places (the Christina Hendricks headshot is simultaneously really hard to watch and timed as such that it's impossible to prepare for it, and the long take of the Driver's boot smashing that guy's corpse was intense enough without needing to see the corpse afterwards). Loved…

Too bad Lucas had to ruin your second item in the Blu-Ray release.

It also has one of the best ending episodes, despite having such a brief run.

Not a fan of Peter Chung's design work. The eye candy falls flat because of that and the story… I don't even really remember there being a story, so yeah.

Has anyone mentioned Where the Wild Things Are yet (thinking the book, but the movie's also a masterpiece)?

The Incredibles, Wall-E, and Toy Story 2 are my favorite Pixars. Monsters Inc isn't too far behind, and the ending is the best.

Cloud Atlas is far from perfect (Ol' Georgie really doesn't work well on screen), but it's certainly one of the most wonderous and exciting films in recent memory in spite of or even because of its imperfection.

I would, however, change the shit the director made after it: http://www.time.com/time/he…

Matriculated disqualifies The Animatrix as a whole.

Troll 2!

Also the weird lack of Chinese people in a world supposedly ruled by China.

lol, Liefeld

Kiki's Delivery Service is on there for me.

If the movie is perfect, then is the book somehow better than perfect?

I loved the book and haven't reread it recently to see how it holds up, but even if it's perfect as book, that very perfection, having made it a long-term money-maker, ended up funding anti-gay political campaigns, so in a way its perfection became evil and thus no longer perfect.

The original FMA didn't have filler. Yes, it diverges from the manga, but it tells a great story all its own. It's not filler because it's not "filling" anything; pretty much everything develops the story they're telling.

Spirited Away is probably as close to perfection as possible.
