SIB Movie Reviews: The Iron Giant



So what if I cried at the end! Don't you judge me!

Also, this Saturday I will be sitting down and watching all five Reeve/Routh Superman films. In a row. And live blogging it. See what i do to amuse you people? I'll be starting some time in the morning, but I'm sure it won't get truly entertaining until about 4 or 5 hours in when i start getting punchy and hating comic genius Richard Pryor.

Be there or be square, kids.

LOL. I'm sure there will be a lot of snark and gradual-disintegration-of-sanity. Should be fun!

From Ken Auletta's profile of Ted Turner in the New Yorker, April 23, 2001:

On a trip to China in October of 1999, with Fonda reading and CNN’s Eason Jordan working, Turner put on his headphones and popped in the videotape of a popular Warner Bros. cartoon movie, “The Iron Giant,” the story of the friendship between a young boy and a metallic being from outer space who sacrifices himself for the sake of the planet. Jordan remembers looking over at his boss. “Tears were streaming down his face,” he says. “I never saw anybody cry like that in my life.” As the credits rolled, Turner called out, “That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen!”
