Kung Fu Panda - The Art of the Title Sequence

WE HEAR the stone-skipping sound (with the timbre of stone-plunking). WE SEE a laser-like lynx leapfrog and pad over looking glass, lemongrass and lillies, launching limitlessly to a lunette, to a custom animation of a familiar logo (always fun). WE ENTER a den of Animal Kingdom Savagery by way of your favorite childrens book illustration. The shadow upon this rogues gallery is ours. More →

ECP - Rate Movies with Smoking "R" 13277

http://www.acponline.org/journals/ecp/janfeb02/glantz.htm (score:248 / approval:63%)

In those cases where the producers, directors, actors, and writers think that smoking is crucial for dramatic effect, they would be free to include it, just as they can include graphic violence or sex. An R rating for smoking would, however, raise the cost of doing the tobacco industry's dirty work and would substantially reduce the number of films that promote smoking. More →
