An Encore Edition. Peckinpah's macabre South of the border shoot 'em up is back for a second limited edition, with a new commentary. It's still a picture sure to separate the Peckinpah lovers from the auteur tourists - it's grisly, grim and resolutely exploitative, but also has about it a streak of grimy honesty.

Last night, I had the opportunity to attend the Fathom Events special presentation of the new DC Animated film Batman: The Killing Joke. Based on the iconic book written by Alan Moore, and featuring the now-legendary voice talent of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as The Dark Knight and The Joker, respectively, the film had everything going for it. It was even curiously touted as a Bruce Timm film, despite the fact that primary directing credit goes to Sam Liu.
Moore, Conroy, Hamill, Timm.
Hallowed names, to be sure. So what could go wrong?
A lot, apparently.
Right off the bat, I couldn't shake the sense that the animation was too stiff; too emotionless. What looks cool in a single frame, or as a comic book panel, looks stilted and cold in motion. That created an instant obstacle for me, but still, I tried my best to get sucked in.
