If you like it or not


When I look back on my childhood, there are a few things I remember about my attraction to women. Jennifer Beals in Flashdance, Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Holli Wood in Cool World. Hmm, animated figures? Yes, they can be hot! And I remember watching this movie until my VCR was whirring with passion. Alright, it could have been the Kool-Aid in the vent, but that's another story. Here is a list of the things that make this movie worth seeing:

  • Animated Kim Basinger. Seriously, if you are straight, you won't be for long. She is so trashy, I love it.
  • The alternate worlds of animation and the real world
  • "Doodles" (comic book drawings) and "Noids" (humanoids)
  • Gabriel Byrnes. My Irish babydaddy.
  • Brad Pitt before he became the head of a nation. I mean, Angelina's children.
  • Dirty men played by beatnick wolves who snap in unison.
  • Matte paintings and amazing animation (think R. Crumb)
  • "Keep your legs crossed and forget about the Real World"
  • Cheesy interludes
  • Cute little bunny rabbits who play dice with Ogre's.. "GEE WHIZ!"
  • Running from cops ("poppers")
  • The breast car. The headlights are nipples.
  • "Noids do NOT have sex with Doodles."
  • Brad Pitt's acting. No, I really mean it.
  • Animation mixed with fiction.
  • Interworld travel
  • War
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • The soundtrack. Metal before metal was metal.
  • "You're in a real place called the Cool World"
  • "I'm like a plug without a socket, you know?"
