Harry's a part of the Illuminati?
Winston, you really need to get to some 12-step meetings and get off the bad crack. . . at least find a dealer with better quality stuff, the stuff you're smoke'n is really doing a number on your paranoia.
As to Monkey Land. . . as I said, I know the original films quite well as well as the Tv series (even had the lunch box) and went out for Halloween as one of the apes wearing make-up I made based on the original latex methods. . . I'd say I was a bit vested.
The last in that series with the Rocket was STUPID, wish they'd never made it. Then again, I really got tired fast of Heston thinking he was really Moses. . .
If you haven't caught on, ALL movies and 99% of television is a waste of time. . . that's the purpose of it, to waste time. Same goes for games, novels, the funny papers, dessert, vacations and a very long list of other expectations 20th/21st century western culture has gotten addicted to... especially things like Internet Forums, Youtube, Twitter, Face Book and other recently contributed garbage we are all guilty of being involved with and yet, it serves little if any genuine purpose outside of spreading paranoia in one flavor or another, create dividing lines when it comes to politics as well as education & social roles, and worse of all, robbed us from having an actual life in which we intermingle physically with one another and actually get to know who our neighbors are, what they do, who belongs to whom and what's actually happening in town when it comes to development, commerce and politics.
Planet of the Ages was originally about racism in the 60s as well as social reformation and advancing certain facets of analytical thinking believe it or not. Harry Potter, in its own way, accomplishes similar things but most importantly it got a very large number of young people off the theirs, out from in front of the TV or a PC and READING something while allowing their imagination to flow just as kids did a century ago with the Twain stories of Huck & Tom, etc. That's the purpose and in my book, that's not wasting time in any way. It's a blessing that far too many of us take for granted now days, forgetting how many people on the planet are still illiterate and as the end result, being horribly abused.
I'm not a huge fan of CGI -- I love cartoons & good animation but when I go to see a film I want to see Movie Sets, Costumes and ACTING rather than what it's all become; on this we can certainly agree. Yet, I can't imagine what production costs would end up being given the greed now weighting this nation into a grave and what can only be described as one of the more Union Driven industries in the nation. . . outside professional sports I can't think of a greedier, arrogant bunch.
