Someone just donated $10,000 to the fund. Holy shit.

Another Disney Renaissance film (esp. Beauty and the Beast or Hunchback of Notre Dame) would also be awesome.

In the vein of musicals, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street straddles the line between black comedy, straight-up horror and tragedy, and is for my money the greatest American musical of the last forty years. Burton's version is fantastic, and with the exception of Helena Bonham Carter everyone from Depp to Rickman to Baron Cohen sings beautifully well. Listening to the OST right now, in fact.

I saw the theatrical; luckily for me it's freely available on Netflix, since the DVD is harder to track down.

In light of what's happened, I think it's safe to say that a Robin Williams film should be done.

Just saw it, and I'm gonna be in the very slim minority here, because, while I would by no means call it bad, I just didn't care for the film. It was certainly witty, but it was witty without possessing any humanity. I was amused by what the characters said, but I couldn't have given less of a damn about any of them. I was more invested in The Amazing Spider-Man II than I was in this movie, and I have an equal degree of unfamiliarity with each of the films' source material, so it's not just that. I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that, for all ASMII's flaws, Peter and Gwen felt like real people with real emotions and relationships, and none of GotG's characters had that reality for me. The WTF-ness of the plot that Trey mentioned earlier certainly contributed to that feeling. Also, I think I'm just burned out on this kind of movie. Oh no, a new villain with no backstory and a desire to destroy an entire planet must be stopped. Again. And we will stop him in battle sequences full of over-the-top CGI and no real sense of danger for anyone. I've never been a fan of that kind of film to begin with, and I guess the catalyst for my getting utterly fed up with it had the misfortune of being this movie.
