Now just try to hide your envy. Go ahead.

Yeah, it's utter schlock and a ridiculous idea, complete with dialogue worthy--almost--of Ed Wood. But you know, there are times when the big bunnies don't actually look all that bad, where the miniatures they're surrounded with look sort of...real, ish. So, schlock, but relatively well-done schlock. At least they made an effort. I remember being 12 (at the theater) and thinking, poor rabbits. It wasn't their fault; they were just looking for food, and who made them big enough to eat people anyhow? Then I went home and dreamt about drums and bunnies. (One bunny to another: "Do you smoke after dark?" Second bunny: "I don't know, I never looked.")

Me too; only I was 10 instead of 12. I remember being scared. And my uncle (a few years older) pointing to the recessed, dark, exit door and saying "Look, there they are!" Ah, the memories.

Now that's a cool uncle.

I saw it on television, and I was in my teens I think or a young adult. It is one of my faves along with "the Food of the Gods". The latter scaring me more than this movie.

If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
