Comment on The Haircut Hall ‘o Shame by Don't touch my hairy head

Don't touch my hairy head — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:31:09 +0000

I suppose I’ll list a few bad ones I’ve had: white fro, whiteboy dreads (should be on the list), what could best be described as a “fro-hawk”, my 7 inch liberty spikes were pretty bad too, seeing as my hair is so curly I needed 6 packets of Knox to half a cup of water to get those to stand up, but the worst was a weird mullet/unicorn/flattop combo with dyed red lightning bolts shaved in to the sides. Wish I was making that last one up. I was 6, and my clothes matched the haircut. Currently rocking a look I like to call the “haystack of neglect.” Sexy as hell… which is a surprisingly unsexy place.

Transformers: the Movie was the first time an animated film freaked me out. It wasn’t just the killing of my favorite characters (damn near ALL of them, for those who haven’t seen it) but the fact that it happened in the first half hour or less. It was like the decepticons, who were noted for accuracy-of-fire somewhat worse than the A-Team, decided that the new plan would be “Aim.” The scene where Ratchet’s eyes turn red and the smoke starts pouring from his mouth like robotic blood was just brutal when I was a kid, and Optimus’s death was the first movie death to affect me. Seriously, watch a few old episodes, then switch to the movie, and understand how brutal this was to a kid who’d grown to love these characters… which is also why this movie is so classic to me. Cheers!

Comment on The Man Who Laughs by Andrichus

i think there is something of the parodox when it come to the joker.
in various publications he uses chemicals that make people laugh to death.
in the dark knight i was appalled, i must be honest.
if that character drove heath insane, i am shocked and sickened. he was a punky clown, with scars… but still thats all he was. the vast majority of the city i live in are crazier than that guy (just not intelligent enough to get the same things out of ‘life’)
i didnt buy the wedging in of twoface. there could have been an awsome film off the back of his story.
heth: if you’re looking down on me, i hope you appreciate that i am judging the performance on its own merits, and not on the fact that you died in the process of making it (which it would appear everyone i know is doing).
amazing character the joker, its a shame the death of a hollywood actor is going to taint it forever.

I guess the moral of the story is - some kids can handle some issues better than others. There seems to be a common theme of death in these 10 movies. It makes some kids uncomfortable. Other kids, like me, didn’t really give it a second thought. They stabbed Meleficent in the heart with a sword in Sleeping Beauty and I didn’t bat an eye. They crushed the evil queen in Snow White with a 20 ton rock after she fell off of a cliff. Next.

There were other kids who were crying.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame came out when I was 10, and I loved it (not because it kept well with the book, because we all know it did not) but because it was different and in a lot of ways went against the tired Disney formula. It’s still one of my favorite Disney movies.

I also watched All Dogs go to Heaven when I was six and wasn’t effected one way or the other. I’ve grown out of and away from the movie, but I remember really liking it.

I think parents/adults see something is animated and automatically think it’s aimed at kids, regardless of the rating (i.e. 95% of Japanese anime). Then they just unleash it on their kids.

This never ends well.

Well… the thing is you have to let kids deal with issues like death. Most of these movies were based on books that are reading level third or fourth grade.

If you want to shelter your kids from tough realities; fine.

But that doesn’t make these “bad” films.

A “bad” film is Battlefield Earth.

Maybe if you called this the Top Ten Traumatizing Nostalgia Cartoons?

Maybe. I see your point, but that’s like not letting your kid read Ender’s Game, or Charlotte’s Web.

Shit happens. Kids have to learn to deal with it.

the movie the Bear.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bear_(1988_film)
that is the WEIRDEST movie for kids. I watched it constantly (along with BeastMaster ha thats a whole nother weird story tho)
anyways.
the Bear has almost no speaking parts, it starts out following a young grizzly bear after a GIANT rock falls on his mother’s head and KILLS her. He then wanders along, befriends an older male grizzly that hunters are after, and so the fun begins.

favorite part in the movie is where the little bear eats a “magic” mushroom and trips out.

that movie for sure messed me up! =)

you MUST WATCH IT! its amazing!

Pretty cool, although Thanos isn’t short compared to humans. He’s almost as tall as Thor in that picture

Comment on The Monks - Bad Habits (1979) by Jason Stewart

My uncle was a fan of The Monks and owned both albums. However, I had heard ‘Drugs in My Pocket’ on the radio quite a few times. In fact, when I mention the song to others my age (mid-30’s) and older, they immediately begin to sing. Strange how there’s very little info, even on the net about the band. Even worse, the catchy, ‘Drugs in My Pocket’ is treated as obscure in favour of the minor hit ‘Nice Legs…’. I even remember hearing the song, ‘Bad Habits’ on the radio as well.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say that someone wants everybody to forget the band ever existed!
