[net.movies] Movie Flames - Movies with a MESSAGE

bip.

    Another example of the "Promise to entertain them then run
them over with my philosophy" movie (in my opinion the prime
example) is Dark Crystal.  I went expecting to see some good muppet
fantasy, and all I got was hit over the head with evil-is-good-zen-
one-hand-clapping-garbage.  (This is not meant to put down evil-is-
good-zen-one-hand-clapping-garbage, but at least the ads could have
said "Come see Dark Crystal if you want two hours of evil-is-good-zen-
one-hand-clapping garbage mixed with one funny muppet).
    Anyone else have an opinion?
