Not all animated films are aimed at kids - Waking Life is an example. But Shrek definately was a kids movie. Sure it had appeal for adults as well (as all good kids movies should). But it was first and foremost a kids movie. No doubt about it. Craig

Jamie, I love the kind of humour that was filtered throughout Shrek. I just didn't always find it appropriate in a film aimed at kids, which Shrek was. And kids is who Monsters Inc was aimed at. And they got it right. It was cute and funny. As for the academy - they're always getting...

Hey Jamie, To be honest, I've watched The Nightmare Before Christmas with quite a few kids, and most of them don't dig it all. Not that they find it too dark or anything. Just that they get bored. Me on the otherhand - I love it. I remember 'discussing' with you the virtues of Monsters...

Well I managed to find one of these invisible Fozzie's at an EB store here in Brisbane. The bad news is it was $40. Of course, I bought it anyway. Yeah baby! Craig

Man, I've been checking all my local Electronics Boutique's and comic book stores, and I can't find one anywhere. Guess I'll keep looking.... Craig

Well, it's obvious then that you've never been to Australia. :) Craig

Re: Snoop Snoop's okay with me What's wrong with An American Werewolf in London? It's a fantastic movie, and Frank shows what a wonderful sense of humour he has with his cameo in that film (and a few other John Landis films). And I'm pretty certain Jim would have loved it as well, as...

I haven't really posted much in a while, but I'm starting to get back into it again, so for those who don't know me (and those who don't remember me), my name is Craig, I'm 22 years old and I live in Brisbane, Australia. Oh, and my favourite muppet is Rowlf. :) Craig

It's the 20th anniversary of Blade Runner baby! Craig

Hey Cory, I agree with you that Monsters Inc. was a much more enjoyable film than Shrek (and I also really dug Waking Life), but Final Fantasy was awful, a real headache inducing film. For the academy to nominate that film in the animation category over Waking Life was an embarrassment...

This really sucks. Darkness was probably the best figure in the new series (behind the Alien vs Predator pack). I mean, who the **** wants that Wishmaster figure? The movie was shite. And Jason X? Please. Guess I'll just have to import him. Craig

Sorry Cory, but Toys is one of the most inept films I've ever seen. A real embarrassment for Robin Williams (and his CV includes Bicentennial Man and Patch freakin Adams) and director Barry Levinson. Anyway, my picks.... Star Wars Best: Empire Worst: Jedi (and that includes the...

Hi Dirth, CGI is a great tool for filmmakers, but it definately has its downsides. Many directors will use CGI as it's far less time consuming than other forms of visual effects. They leave the work with the tech heads, check out the progress and when they're happy with the final result -...

It's hard to list all of my favourite bands/singers/performers, so I'll just put it down to a few who I couldn't imagine living without their music:- Jamiroquai - Easily the funkiest band around. They've released five albums now and each one just keeps getting better. They're freaking...

Cherry Pizza There are quite a few places in Australia where you can track down the figures. Electronics Boutique stock them, as well as numerous comic and collectable stores. Or you can get them online at a site called figuresdirect.com.au. Paul's the guy that runs the site, and he...

Star Wars is what got me into figure collecting, although I don't really buy a lot of Star Wars stuff now, with the exception of some AOTC figures and some vitage stuff. I currently collect Muppets, The Simpsons (although the Playmates Figures were quite tough to find in Australia...

Ken or Mike, Do you guys know whether the exclusives for Electronics Boutique or Toys R Us will be available in the Australian stores, or are these American exlusives? By the way, I hope these figures sell well here, cause we're getting seriously jipped on the price. The regular figs are...

Agreed. Warner's and Disney are the big problems over here. Warners with releasing titles in NTSC, and Disney have the problem of mysteriously forgetting to give us extras on certain discs. They have gotten better, but we still sometimes get entirely ripped off by them by not including the...

Yeah, MCC would be in PAL over here. Craig
