Bob, I'd seen your blog post and found it intriguing...though the comparisons never quite jelled for me.

I'm not a cold-hearted bastard entirely: I did like Ratatouille!

Warped AND corrupt? Oh, then you should've gone with "Fritz The Cat".

There are just some films that completely miss their mark on you. I had been told by several people that I would love Wilson Yip's "SPL" (aka "Kill Zone") and "Flashpoint". Not only did I NOT like either, in SPL's case I could not and still cannot recollect a single thing about it. Not a single image. So I hear ya...

Nothing about WALL-E stuck? Not even those beautiful closing credits that show the humans re-learning the beauty of art (through those scenes in the style of Turner, Seurat and Van Gogh)? That put a huge smile on my face...

Admittedly I had just seen the whole film with two 8 year olds who laughed a lot, so that may have coloured my perception...B-) Nah, I still would've loved the film.

Unfortunately, I'd heard the same thing about Gonzo - I had expected a much more free ranging work from Gibney. I may still check it out, but I'm in no rush at this point.
