Gah, I love The Last Unicorn. I don't even think I can be coherent about it, because it was one of the most enduring and affecting touchstones of my childhood, and I can't really look at it with a critical eye. But it is beautiful, incredibly moving, and occasionally terrifying.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
The Skeksis didn't even register amidst the nightmares brought on by that scene where the Podling shriveled up when her essence was drained: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Why do you come to me now, when I am this? "
Broke my heart.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
that scene where the Podling shriveled up when her essence was drained:
OH GOD WHY WOULD YOU LINK TO THAT??? Sadist!

Why should I be the only one that sees that on the inside of my eyelids when I'm trying to sleep?
At least Zhaan paid them back years later on Farscape...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I loved The Last Unicorn as a kid. But I think I was just young enough that it was more of an overall impression, I honestly remember so little detail from it. I'm planning to go on Saturday to refresh my memory (plus get the stuff that went over my head when I was a kid)as much as anything else.

Oh, and Madame Fortuna and the Harpy, so much delicious awefulness.
