Re: DreamWorks Animation Films
Saw Rise of the Guardians earlier. I hadn't heard much about it, but I liked the art direction and character design. My girlfriend and I liked it, though it was a pretty typical film. Seemed to borrow a lot from other properties. The villain reminded me of Loki from the Avengers while Santa's elves ...

Sleeper Scale (Fanfic)
This is a story I was working on some time ago, but only just now decided to open up the document and give it a final few sentences to finish it up. Figured it was too good a concept to just leave unread. As with my other stories, I would like to have several follow-up chapters exploring this charac...

Re: Who Censored Roger Rabbit? - Novel/Film Discussion
Personally, this universe feels like one that doesn't necessarily need the Valiant character to have a story to tell. I don't feel that Hoskins is absolutely inherent to a sequel or new story as much as, say, Murray would be for a Ghostbusters sequel. If the talent is right and the animation up-to-p...

Re: Paper Mario Series
I first heard about Paper Mario through the TV commercials, which were really fun and original. I didn't even know about Super Mario RPG until a couple years later when I picked it up at a used gaming store (FunCo Land?). I actually didn't play it for another few years after that since I didn't real...

Re: A Dennis Hopper question
Depends on how you define "family."
Really, how was this Daniel Boone a "relative" of Hopper? He could be a brother, cousin, nephew or anything else. It would also be nice to know if Boone's sister is your aunt, cousin, niece or whatever else and if she is Daniel's blood sibling.

The beginning of each "Evil Dead" movie recaps fifteen minutes or so of the previous film in a sort of "remake" fashion. After the first twenty minutes of "Evil Dead II," it's no longer a "remake" but all new material. It's kind of like "Doctor Who"...
