Amidst a Sergio Leone marathon:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
A Fistful Of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
Once Upon A Time In America

Loveeee Spaghetti Westerns.

Tonight I'm also going to see Notorious and Gran Torino. Two-for-one, so I don't have to hold as high of expectations...

And since when does Shonen rip off Miyazaki? Miyazaki has no influence on that genre at all, really.

I was referring specifically to Bleach.

And to answer your first question....

Hannibal 9.4/10
I liked learning more about hannibal, and I was a little weirded out about how much I wanted hannibal to not die, and how much I sympathized with him. Lost points for taking out Jodie Foster.

Red Dragon 7.5/10

Worst of the series in my opinion

Hannibal Rising 9.3/10

Really creepy at times, especially when he drowns the guy in the water full of cadavers (literally my worst fear). But this movie explains Hannibal Lector a lot more. I enjoyed it a lot though. Does anybody know if they are going to continue the series?

Nice. Silence of the Lambs is my fav movie ever and I've seen all the films and read the Red Dragon and SOTL books. I'd say you perhaps don't find it that scary because it's intended as more of a thriller than a horror, though there are some chilling parts.

I don't think they can milk anything more out of the series after Hannibal Rising - I do actually like that movie but I know a lot of people consider it a disparate piece of the puzzle (or cash cow).

For Red Dragon watch Manhunter. It was the original version of the book and is a Michael Mann film. It is horribly dated in parts but is one of my favourite Horror films although it is a psychological thriller TBH. Far far superior to the car crash that was Red Dragon.

Again, I don't see the Miyazaki influence.

What's a picture of Wurzel Gummidge got to do with anything?

One of my childhood favorites. Found it in the $5 bin at Walmart and decided to buy it. It's a good story and it made me remember how much I loved the score when I was a kid.

Don Bluth is one of the most gifted animators in the world, I grew up on a lot of his films, Land Before Time, All Dogs go to Heaven, American Tail. He also worked on Disney films like Robin Hood and Pete's Dragon and the video games Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

He's currently working on a big screen version of Dragon's Lair, I'm looking forward to it.

Land Before Time ftw, classic. Not the sequels though, apparently there have been twelve. You can't recreate that hand-drawn animation with digital techniques really.

American Tail was good but I preferred Fievel Goes West as a kid

Oh man, Land Before Time was amazing. I don't think I've seen that since I was 8.
