I want to officially apologize to this movie. When I saw it in 1993, for whatever reason, I wasn’t impressed. Since then, as its popularity grew, I’ve been somewhat disdainful to it. I honestly can’t say why. I really enjoyed it this second go round. Not only is the central premise extraordinarily clever, it remains downright subversive all the way through to the end. The look is phenomenal and the songs are quite good – especially the lyrics. The character of “Oogie Boogie” may be a little racist, but who am I to make that call?

What’s this? What’s this?
