I've been watching all of the original Twilight Zone lately and it strikes me how much the show was an influence on other shows, but I wouldn't call any of that came after "ripoffs"

Heck, I think The Simpsons take on "The Little People" was better than the original

It probably doesn't help that Aronofsky doesn't make films that are exactly beloved; I've called them "good films you can only watch once"

they're so relentlessly bleak

But his bleakness is one of the ways he differs from Satoshi Kon

I'm old enough to remember the outrage over The Lion King—made dumber by Disney claiming staff never heard of Kimba—and the uproar over Atlantis the Lost Empire as well

There are however, these three sickos

or just give me your Letterboxd

what did you think of 28 Days Later (both of them)

GKIDS is releasing it in theaters next month.

(Which is still annoying. I've been waiting for ages.)
