The short is just called "Presto", CGIF.

I'd say the characters - especially Alec - look more like stop-motion Rankin/Bass figures, if anything.

Sounds like brilliant fun! :)

$126m opening, with $25m projected for Monday = $151m in the US, plus an international roll out total of $143m makes Indy a $294m hit. And it still has the week to itself. I'm going back on Wednesday to see it again with my Mum, for old time's sake, and will no doubt enjoy it more, now that I know w...

It lost me the second time the boat-car-thing went over the waterfall. Indy's usually lucky by accident...not by simply inviting danger like that.

I'm lost already!

What I would say though, to croixla222, is that maybe you might want to think about engaging in a proper conversation rather than join up and immediately start something up like this.

Welcome, I think, to our boards...

IN SHORT, AND NO SPOILERS: Well...disjointed and confused...it was inevitable that Indy was going to be a disappointment, even though I was hedging my bets and kept my anticipation to a minimum. It was, sadly, the confused ramblings of four old(er) men: Lucas, Spielberg, Ford and Williams, who all s...

We have an unofficial tradition of jumping in with the occasional surprise! And considering the amount of CGI in Indy, well, it's borderline... ;)

While I've almost forgotten Iron Man from Monday night, apart from some certain imagery, Speed Racer is still racing around in my head. Whatever else, the film had a uniqueness about it and a real charm.

Guys, Ron 'n' John are the guys that gave us The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules and, yes, even Treasure Planet. They know what they're doing. You're never going to get a "classic" fairytale picture out of something set in 1930s New Orleans, anyway, so maybe it's best to...

So I had a couple of <I>really</I> annoying computer crashes and mis-renderings this afternoon and decided, while something was re-doing itself, to head out to Speed Racer. Wow, who knew!? ;) I can see why the film is underperforming, but I got a big kick out of it. I was surprised by the amount of ...

Well, I mean that we may have something coming up on this (Kerry's album), too...

There's no point making a teaser comment if you go into all the details!

He really does look like Yoda, huh?

Very nicely directed, but I hope the slo-mo doesn't get too overused.
