One to Grow On

I think my Onionscope is valuable advice and reassurance to one and all (and I'm particularly sending it out to my girl antheia):

Remember: Anything can be accomplished with enough grit, determination, and cups of black coffee.

Now, I don't drink black coffee, but the idea is the same. I'm still feeling icky, but I'm going to put my head down and kick some ass. Because that's what I do. ::straps on appropriate boots::

Here we go...alt.nerd.obsessive...

I'm 20 minutes into this AFI 10 Top 10 special (10 genres, 10 movies each), and I've already called shenanigans.

HOW. HOW. HOW can you have a list of the greatest animated films of ALL TIME and NOT include Sleeping Beauty??!?!?! Come ON.

I was okay with some of the others, but I would have swapped out Pinocchio for Sleeping Beauty - pound for pound, it's just a better story, with far better animation. I mean, really.

And, as much as I'm not sure that Field of Dreams belongs in the "Fantasy" category (um, hi. Sports movie. Duh.) , I'll be damned if the last moment where Kevin Costner asks his dad if he wants to have a catch doesn't make me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. *sniff*

So far, though, the sci-fi list is right-on. KLAATU. BARRATA. NIKTO.
