Did you know that most of the voices on the Beatle cartoons were done by Paul Frees - the same guy who was Boris Badenov and Toucan Sam in Froot Loop comercials?

Now you do.

Paul Frees, one of my personal heroes.

That a new version exists actually makes me really sad.

My friend Mal used to like to physicaly mimic positions he'd see people in on comic book covers, and when you'd see one taken out of that medium (he said, nodding at lostjane) and into reality you'd see just how messed up the people in question were trying to back away from whatever thing that was coming at them.

Moomba's a scary one - wait'll you see how they defeat him!

my favourite quote of all time comes from Christopher Lee in the original Wicker Man:

"Of course they're naked! It's much too dangerous to jump over fire with your clothes on!"

Yeah. This is arguably Christopher Lee's best movie, period (and that's saying a *lot*). This is from teh longer version of the picture, that most people haven't seen - it's spoken over footage of two snails begining to cross over themselves as they mate:

"I think I could turn and live with animals - they're so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to "God". Not one of them kneels to another, or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. Not one of them is responsible...or unhappy...all over the Earth."

Moomba's gonna flatten out some people.

But I like Nicolas Cage.

papajoemambo October 17 2006, 18:19:56 UTC

Oh, I love Nicholas Cage, Baby - I just don't like all of his movies.

And the idea of a remake of this one was a really bad idea. Think of the neccessity of trying a remake of LotR 35 years from now with more "popular" actors and "better" CGI.
