The Godfather is -insanely- dense and I am starting to wonder just how much my view on entertainment has been warped by never seeing movies like this growing up, instead jumping from cartoons to anime and then wandering the way I do.

Archer is absolutely fucking hilarious so far.

I didn't see Godfather until about four years ago, and still haven't seen Part 2.  But yeah, it's one of those things whose influence has reverberated through pretty much everything since.

(Matt Groening once joked that the first time Simpsons fans saw Citizen Kane they'd be surprised, since Simpsons has homaged pretty much every scene in the movie at one time or another.  Godfather is that kind of movie -- it's a defining classic that influences everything that comes after, either in subtle stylistic and thematic ways or through full-blown parody.)

And sometimes stuff like that is so revered that, when people finally get around to checking out the original, they don't understand what the big deal is.  Godfather is not one of those movies, at least not for me -- and neither are greats like Citizen Kane or Casablanca.  I watched them and I knew why they were such towering classics.

That was one of the things that did fascinate me, though. After years of seeing the parodies and homages, seeing the source of it all, and being able to instantly recognize it as such.

Added a new poll since I'm working my way through Archer pretty fast.

Toy Story is the "must watch" on this new list. I liked Spice and Wolf well enough too. Also, from the master list, Toradora! was cute. Both those animu are probably easy to burn through.

JLU season 2 (4?) is probably my favorite season of any television ever. Not watching it is a sin.

Keep in mind that after watching the DCAU you will hardly ever be able to read the associated comic again without being profoundly disappointed, but Ocksi is right. That season is one of the absolute high points for Western animation.

As someone who never read the comics and knew nothing going in, B:TAS, Beyond, S:TAS (to a lesser extent) and JL/U blew me the fuck away. I do not regret one cent of the money I spent on that.



And I trimmed the list down for whatever odd reason. Possibly to not have this huge list of everything with 1 or 2 votes.

I figured out a way to edit the poll and reset vote counts to zero so I didn't have to constantly bother Brentai

Or he did it in which case thank you Brentai

Toy Story 2 was pretty great, and all the memories of seeing it flooded back the instant the Prospector appeared on the screen.

Archer was absolutely hilarious and was exceptional. I'm getting Season 2 when I can.

Hm. The opportunity to use the big TV downstairs with Blu-Ray hookup has arisen. People I trust have told me that Tron Legacy is one of those films that the HD Bump does massive wonders for.

Tron Legacy and Fantasia 2000 are highly visual experiences.  So is GitS, though second gig was probably made for SD anyway.
