They did do a form of rotoscoping using computers. The art itself is good and not glitchy at all. It's just overly fluid and has that rotoscope uncannyness to it.

I had never even heard of that movie until the whole 'Avatar ripped off Delgo' crap. Did it actually have an advertising campaign?

Didn't Avatar rip off everything? I mean, that's part of why I enjoyed it so much.

I thought it might be a good way to let my son see a movie like Avatar without actually seeing Avatar, because it's way too violent for a 5 year old, but after 20 minutes of pratically nothing entertaining happening, and Chris Kattan being more annoying than usual, I couldn't stand to torture my son with it.

Yes. What seemed implausible and nearly impossible became a reality with Delgo. Mind you, I like Kattan in Undercover Brother.

No, that's Corky Romano. Undercover Brother is the one with Eddie Griffin, and he plays the bad guy.

This isn't "incredibly overrated", but after all the talk, I was disappointed when I actually watched Mad Max. Though in its defense, Road Warrior is the iconic version everyone is referencing. Perhaps its more of a cult following than genuinely overrated.

See, I think quite a few of the movies mentioned might fall into that category as well. Less overrated and more 'cult status'... or maybe we feel they're undeserving of their cult status? I dunno. I'm pretty sure Boondocks falls into that category for me. I'm not sure it actually had that much critical acclaim, though I don't know that I've really looked.

I think if people are talking undeserving of their cult status, I'm going to throw in Star Trek 2, especially since Star Wars has been thrown in, that movie is really not good. I liked it as a kid, but preferred III (Spock), and concur with my child opinion still.

I recently watched The Blade Runner again. I haven't seen it since I was in high school. While some of the shots were amazing to me, so much so that they'd stuck in my mind since I was a kid...I realized why the story line always slipped out of memory, it just wasn't very enjoyable. It was work to make it to the end of the movie. I liked the themes, the look, etc...but the story was lame.
