LAST NT I SAW 12 MONKEYS. NOW I'M EDITIN ON A CHINATOWN BUS (THE ARMY IS HERE, -BRAD PITT) TO PHL.
[off the bus] It dawned on me the narrative structure of Twelve Monkeys may be the closest to the Animated Musical, closer than Citizen Kane and other flashback-movies. There's a similar post-apocalyptic element in the story, too, but no crazy characters. Of course, Twelve Monkeys without the questionable mental stability is like Top Gun without the latent homoeroticism: i.e., not much.
