Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for June 14, 2013

Far Side!

Hey, Stallone did a comedy “Oscar” lots of dialog and great laughs too… and nary a mouse.

She could’ve sold him on the movie version of “Sophie’s Choice.” Just by saying “Meryl Streep takes her top off.”

Casablanca is set in a fur’n place, and it’s got fur’n people in it….But it’s one of my favorite films!

Do I have to turn in my “chick” card, because I like Stallone and Chuck Norris movies (saw “Expendables 2” recently; fun!) and don’t like Nicholas Sparks movies?

it is an american movie starring humphry bogart. he owns a bar in casablanca

I thought Expendables 2 was computer-generated, including the actors,

Did Breathed purposely misspell Mickey Mouse to avoid a lawsuit from Disney?

Secret of NIMH and American Tail are classics. Love ‘em. And, Steve, Casablanca isn’t a foreign flick. That being said, curling up with a good book to read is always preferable to watching a movie, albeit an option no one ever chooses.

@ Bruno Zeigerts: I’ve seen the sequel. Yes, BIG-time suckage. Avoid if you value your love of the animator’s art.

BluePumpkin: “(…)why ruin a good thing?”

Because MGM thought that they could make more money by doing so. (Needless to say, it did not end well…)

Heh. Ironic that American animation is being declared to be “in a rut” here, considering that in hindsight the late 80s are now thought of as the beginning of what’s come to be called the Renaissance, or the Second Golden Age depending on who you talk to.
