The promise of feeling love again, even knowing it is only a copy, is better than the crushing grief of love lost. Feeling love and being loved is everything. Intellectually knowing is not as strong or ultimately as important as emotionally feeling. A mind stuck in deep depression might well find the option of regaining that feeling of love is worth a sacrifice of self.

That's a message anyway.



'Tis a beautiful film. I think.


*though to be perfectly honest, I might trade that feeling of love for the chance at feeling up Ms. Weaver in her very tight, very small undies.

Batteries not included

if i had to go with just one it would be 'akira' which is always amongst my top ten movies of all time and easilly my most watched.

a lot of my other favorites have been mentioned thus far but a couple i havent seen mentioned [sorry if someone mentioned them and i missed it] would be -

barbarella, and forbidden planet.

as for worst....., i'll go with 'outland', starring the ever-deplorable acting skills of one sean connery. with a few exceptions [time bandits, which really verged on self-parody, and the excellent 'man who would be king' are the two that come to mind]. still, 'outland' has to be his worst, and i'd take battlefield earth [which, terrible though it is, seems unfairly slandered when compared to plenty of more commercially successful 'sci fi' films which are just as bad, like 'the lost world' ferexample] over this horrendous movie any day.

one of the biggest dissapointments for me was 'the lathe of heaven'. great book, could have been a really great film, but ended up pretty dated and unmemorable.

any takers for 'liquid sky'?
