cuz they were great.

This title reads a bit like Robocop meets Homeward Bound meets the final scene of The Wild Bunch. In it, animals are being transformed into intelligent experimental weapons, and three in particular are trained to work together as a team known as WE3. When the animals formerly known as Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit are decommissioned and condemned to death, their doctor/trainer decides to let them escape. What follows is a series of action-packed and heartbreaking chase and fight scenes between the lethal animals and the United States military. The artwork is innovative and breathtaking, and there are several pages without text. While this requires some concentration, those who take time to look carefully at all of the images will witness an amazing story. This book pulls no punches; sensitive readers will be moved to tears, and animal lovers might be moved to put the book down for a while before picking it up again. The violence is often graphic, but those who wade through all the blood will be rewarded with some badly needed closure. Compelling, moving, and disturbing, this is a thought-provoking work for mature readers.–Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

Stylistically, Tony Scott took the heavy saturation, simplistic colour palette and stylish editing from the commercials he did in the 80s (especially that kick-ass Saab commercial), and applied it to film. After he met Bruckheimer, the influence spread to the Bruck, who began imposing it on everyone he worked with. Scott begat Bay (watch BAD BOYS and tell me Bay hasn't crossed TOP GUN with LAST BOY SCOUT stylistically) who then begat all manner of all-style-no-substance shit, such as Rupert fucking Wainwright (so much is wrong with the way STIGMATA looks, I have no idea where to begin) and Len Wiseman (fuck off! Just FUCK OFF!!!). The madness in the Scott bgeatting ends with Scott begatting Scott, who ends up ripping himself off in DOMINO and disappearing up his own arse. Shame really, because the mistake people make with Tony Scott is thinking that HE is all style no substance, when in fact he's very fucking good with substance. See LAST BOY SCOUT, REVENGE, TRUE ROMANCE, CRIMSON TIDE, and even TOP GUN (hey, he took a magazine commercial and made you give a shit about the pilots - thats sort of substance!).

My point is, Scott is a genius in his own right, and no amount of Bay ripping him off (though to be fair, I am a major Bay fan and would defend his entertaining brainless explosions genre to the hilt) will alter that.

This sounds like WE3, by the way. And I have noticed that I'm not the first to notice this.

Don't fuck with the mad Scotsman. And try reading the Filth if you REALLY want to go to bed confused as fuck.

WE3 should DEFINITELY be Peter Jackson's next movie. It IS that important. You called it, my friend. That graphic novel had me crying like a bitch.
