Butch Hartman once said that he came up with the idea of this show on the spot when he was asking Nickelodeon executives for a job. A basic story about a boy with fairies might sound very childish, but in fact the whole thing is super cynical and at times more adult than most other shows of the era.
The first four or five seasons were great, but after that the corporate weasels started interfering and the show went down to way of the Simpsons, producing endless new reboots and seasons ignoring all the good stuff and getting worse and worse. Butch Hartman once told that the show was canceled at least five times and resurrected four. After the fifth there's been another crappy reboot, so that's that.

Demon Bitch might sound like a funny name for band, but do not be fooled: this album kicks some serious ass. The overall style is more like 83-84's US power metal with some of the best guitarwork of the whole subgenre, there's just endless amounts of tasty licks and riffs that keep on coming and coming.
It's all killer, zero filler.

Sadly misunderstood spoof of the whole genre. The humor is so obvious with this one I can't comprehend some people actually think this was mean't to be taken seriously.

In the future paradise every problem known to man have been eradicated and the mankind has been degenerated into a bunch of whiny pussies who need special proctection by a police state because every mean looks and words hurt them so much. So, when Wesley Snipes gets loose to terrorize the society as he pleases they need a manly man like Sly Stallone to kick his ass and then some.
This film predicted our time so damn well.

This film feels so satisfying. Michael Douglas is an everyman who simply gets pissed off at everything that's wrong in the world, so he decides to walk home and beat up anyone who tries to stop him. Back in the day political Hollywood flicks still had some balls, so it's anything but a dry and boring snorefest some talentless hipsters are making these days.

Another misunderstood film. This time it's about brutalization of man, when man becomes an animal. Joker is a smart one who laughs at all the propaganda and mass manipulation, but at the end he loses the battle over his mind and becomes one with the mindless sheeplets, marching forward killing, pillaging and raping anything in their path for whatever glory and fatherland.

This film is so misunderstood it physically hurts me.
Basically it's a story about free will and the source of violence and perversion in a modern society. A thug gets brainwashed by society to be a "normal" law abiding citizen, but in reality the high society itself has normalized brutality and all the vices in the world. Even the aesthetics of this film are completely deranged and ugly on purpose, they even searched the ugliest, most disgusting brutalist architecture possible to make this film.

Re-watch
Is it just me or does this film actually draw inspiration from Disney's Pinocchio, especially the anarchistic Pleasure Island where the bad boys are turned into donkeys, but here model citizens via brainwashing?
