Benigni is one of the very few actors that I really hate. I can`t stand his constant marathon babbling and grinning which people in Italy apparently find funny. That is very sad.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-04-2003 05:58 PM                     There is a hilarious review for this movie in THE ONION. The horrible dubbing is addressed among a multitude of faults. The best observation is; "Benigni seems less like a puppet who wants to become a boy than a mental patient who wants to become a puppet." Let's hope they bring back MST3K just for this movie.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

And I wanted for a long time to ask what is that costume?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-05-2003 08:58 PM                        The Onion's Review. Pinocchio scored a perfect "zero" on RottenTomatoes.com. 47 negative reviews out of a total of 47. Heh. MST3K = Mystery Science Theater 3000, a TV show on the SciFi cable network. The host and his robot pals showed really awful science fiction films accompanied by their running commentary making fun of the film. A very funny show sometimes. A half-dozen or so of their best episodes made it to DVD. Unfortunately MST3K was cancelled and is now only in reruns. I'll go out on the proverbial limb here and guess that Hillary is dressed as "Xena: Warrior Princess". This is a popular syndicated TV show.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-06-2003 09:40 PM                     Michael, I'm sorry not to have responded sooner. David has done everything for me, even explaining the costume. David, thanks for your help with the links. Nice visual Xena reference. I wish we could get those DVD's here (in Region 1 discs). The costume was a one-year halloween project that has since gotten out of hand... Here's another shot from the local Rennaissance Faire (yeah, I know--I never thought I'd be doing that, but they had a look-alike contest and I couldn't resist) with a (Kevin Sorbo) Hercules wannabe.  |  IP: Logged Jacob Huber Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-07-2003 12:34 AM                     Hey Mark Lensenmayer and David Stambaugh. On Rotten Tomatoes: Ballistic: Ecks v. Sever, 95 votes, 95 negative. With a director named Kaos, what can one expect?  |  IP: Logged
