Gaze long into the abyss, and the abyss gazes into you
Godwin’s Law (from wikipedia):
“There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress”
“They [the Nazi’s] gave to their children an irrational hatred of Jews in the same way that people in Northern Ireland transmitted to their children an irrational hatred of Catholics, in the same way that people give to their children an outrageous and irrational hatred of those who are of different colour and all of those things,”
So said Mary McAleese during the ceremonies to mark the 60th anniversay of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp by the Red Amry. Who writes for the Irish President? “..and all of those things”?? It’s the speech writers equivalent of playing thunder and lightening - I’ve said my bit (rang the doorbell), “…and all of those things”, now I’m running down the street!! Ha ha! Can’t catch me!

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso
†
Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
