	Heavy Metal (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heavy Metal is a 1981 Canadian animated film from executive producer Leonard Mogel, who also was the publisher of Heavy Metal magazine.
		The film is an anthology of various adult-oriented science fiction and fantasy stories adapted from Heavy Metal magazine and original stories in the same spirit.
		Heavy Metal may be the canonical example of a popular film or album that was unavailable to consumers for a long time for obscure reasons, despite popular acclaim or success.

	Heavy metal umlaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A heavy metal umlaut (aka röck döts) is an umlaut over a letter in the name of a heavy metal band.
		The heavy metal umlaut is never referred to by the term diaeresis in this usage, nor is it intended to affect the pronunciation of the band's name.
		The umlaut in Die Ärzte is correct German orthography and not related to the heavy metal umlaut.

	Heavy Metal Review
		The film is a loose connection of vignettes inspired by artwork and stories from the magazine and the quality of animation is roughly equal to Saturday morning levels.
		We are left with fragments because the film itself is episodic and lacks a coherent underlying story line, most of which is geared towards preteens.
		For once in the film, there is a close match in graphic style between the animated characters and the backdrop.

	DVD Review - Heavy Metal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Combining flashy imagery with a lot of violence and gratuitous sex, the film was the animated version of the comic book series of the same name and an easy to digest feast for pubescent boys with rock music influences and heroic dreams about a glorified adulthood filled with raunchy sex, drugs and rock and roll.
		The film completely captured and epitomized all the stereotypes of the generation and is now brought to DVD as a special edition by Columbia TriStar Home Video.
		"Heavy Metal" is presented in a widescreen aspect ratio that seems to be 1.78:1 on this release from Columbia TriStar Home Video, in a transfer that is 16x9 enhanced.

	DVD Verdict Review - Heavy Metal
		Essentially, the film is written for a male, teenage audience, with plenty of the elements teens crave.
		One of the interviewees on the accompanying documentary called this film a "last gasp of the counterculture revolution." It is hard to disagree with that, especially since we have seen nothing like this film come out of Hollywood since that day in 1981.
		There is a segment called "Artwork of Heavy Metal" which includes 26 pencil drawings, 59 conceptual art stills (two of which are animated), 29 single cell stills, and 191 layered cell stills which expose some of the layering techniques used during the animation process.

	DVDFILE.COM: Special Report - Interview with Carl Macek
		After the film, a comic book artist, Phil Norwood who did Alien vs. Predator is his most famous thing, was sent to England to help redo the scenes as much as possible for Den and under the short time frame that they had to do this, he wasn't able to complete all the scenes.
		Princess Mononoke, for example the new Miyazaki film, there was a lot of animation that was completely redone by Miyazaki because it wasn't up to his standards when he saw everything else in context.
		It was one of those films that just fell in between the cracks because people were not aware of the potential of video at the time.

	Heavy (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		But through the film, we get to know Vince, and find that he is motivated, or rather paralyzed, by a fear of change and a painful shyness.
		The film deals with the hardships of being an overweight man, without indicting anyone or blaming anyone; and without telling the audience that being a big boy is inherently evil.
		This film is not just about a heavy guy...it is about all of us; how we react to those who are different, our own insecurities, our own sorrows, loneliness, and frail hearts.

	Heavy Metal
		What makes the film so watchable is really the different animation styles employed, some of which border on being somewhat avant garde for their day.
		If you want film artefacts though, you will find them in abundance, although it has to be said that there really are none that are too distracting, and given that this appears to have languished in the vaults for most of the past twenty years, their presence is hardly surprising.
		I am presuming that the film is on one layer, with the extras predominantly on the second layer, which would be eminently logical.

	The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens
		To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability.
		Thus, in spite of the film's loaded bias against the work of the mind, you can grasp even while watching it that Michael Moore has just said, in so many words, the one thing that no reflective or informed person can possibly believe: that Saddam Hussein was no problem.
		By all means go and see this terrible film, and take your friends, and if the fools in the audience strike up one cry, in favor of surrender or defeat, feel free to join in the conversation.

		With a framing story about a glowing green orb claiming to be the embodiment of all evil, the film shuttles through eight episodic tales of sci-fi adventure, each fuelled by some of the most wretched rock music to emerge from the late 1970s-early 80s period.
		This is one of the funniest segments in the film.
		I was introduced to this film about 5 years ago, and it is still the one film I can watch again and again.

	Heavy Metal 2000 (2000): Michael Ironside, Julie Strain, Billy Idol - PopMatters Film Review
		Her career has been built on that six-foot-one Jessica Rabbit-meets-Xena body, and it would be nearly impossible to count the number of male members that have saluted her presence on film, or the pages of horror and fantasy magazines devoted to her.
		Heavy Metal was a guilty pleasure for every adolescent male growing up in the following decades, as well as one of the first major comics to successfully mix sex, gore, and sci-fi for an aging audience quickly tiring of the bland Archie mold.
		The first film, released in 1978, was a moderate success until music copyright issues forced it into a legal morass (ironic, considering the soundtrack, starring lightweight '70s AOR staples like Sammy Hagar, Journey, Don Felder, and Blue Oyster Cult, is the very thing about the film that hasn't stood the test of time).

		A medic watching this film would learn as much about climate as I would learn about cardiology watching ER — not nothing, but I would prefer the surgeon standing over me with a scalpel, or the politician pondering my petrol taxes, to have had some additional training.
		I'm sure the world's teenagers can work out that this is hardly exam revision material, and if it inspires a few of them to stick with physics for a couple more years and perhaps consider a university course in the geosciences, then it will have more than justified its special-effects budget.
		We have to be clear that the film is science fiction, but we also have to make sure we don't belittle what is actually going on.

	Amazon.com: Heavy Metal (Collector's Edition): DVD: Gerald Potterton,Jimmy T. Murakami,Charles Jolliffe,Ned ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		With a framing story about a glowing green orb claiming to be the embodiment of all evil, the film shuttles through eight episodic tales of sci-fi adventure, each fueled by some of the most wretched rock music to emerge from the 1980s.
		Some critics and film historians have labeled 1981's HEAVY METAL as the last film to genuinely reflect the mishmash sensibilities of the post-hippy 1970s counter-culture, and stylistically and thematically this appears to be true.
		But the music disputes were eventually resolved somehow, and the film became commercially available to the home market in the mid 1990s and regained its popularity as a cool cartoon.

	Heavy Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		"Heavy", the other 'redemption in a small-town diner' film of 1996 (joining "Spitfire Grill"), was James Mangold's directorial debut effort before the phenomenally successful "Cop Land".
		"Heavy" is open-ended, where very little is resolved at the final fade-out, and the small insignificant lives of the characters continue on the same bleak path, except for very faint glimmer of hope on the horizon.
		It is a downer of a film, and is at times painful to watch, because it is easy to see a little bit of ourselves in Victor.

	Heavy Petting Film Review - Time Out Film
		Sandra Bernhard let a boy see her bottom in return for a fudgsicle, David Byrne wondered if he would use up all his sperm if he masturbated, Spalding Gray ponders whether the raccoon hats so popular during his adolescence were used to stimulate the wearer's genital area.
		By incorporating archival footage (educational, television, feature films), Benz and his researchers explore shifts in sexual codes of conduct in America from the '50s.
		The 'witnesses' lend a structure of sorts; when it works, the material is funny and direct, even though the comparison of the two eras doesn't exactly prove revelatory.

		This film was actually started in 1978, and finally released in 1981 and I was there to see it.
		If Heavy Metal had waited to be produced until now, with all the advancements on technology, animation, graphics, art we have at our disposal, I only wish that the popular artists and storytellers of the magazine Heavy Metal were involved.
		This was the first animated woman in an American made mainstream animated adult feature film that the world needed, that the world depended upon, that was tough, that was independent, not a size four but voluptous, and was still very sexy.

	Heavy . Nashville Scene . 10-06-97
		Writer-director James Mangold's debut film is about a heavy man--a self-conscious short-order cook (Pruitt Taylor Vince) who lives and works alongside his overbearing mother (Shelley Winters).
		This is also a heavy film--a near-silent meditation on loneliness and grief.
		Mangold, who went on to make the overwrought Copland, stripped this film of all unnecessary dialogue and exposition, putting his focus instead on the reactions of his lead.

		Whether you’re a devotee of heavy metal or find the whole enterprise — the tresses, the feral vocals and the wanton guitar solos — hopelessly daft, if you were alive during the ’80s, you could scarcely avoid it.
		In the film, a member of the band Slipknot — known as much for its Texas Chainsaw Massacre-inspired garb as its sonic onslaught — notes that metal “is probably the last bastion of real rebellion, real masculinity, real men basically getting together and beating their chests.”
		They met in the drizzly port city of Bergen, a sinister milieu Dunn describes as “the stuff that movies are made of.” (“You never knew when a pirate was going to jump out of the alley,” he adds.) As per Gaahl’s request, the interview was shot in a 13th-century wine cellar, by candlelight.

	Punk Rock / Heavy Metal Karaoke
		Though thoroughly fun and rhapsodic in tone, Punk Rock / Heavy Metal Karaoke is a documentary that manages to subtly investigate the meaning of nostalgia and star worship in contemporary recreational milieus.
		More to the point, the film documents a certain New York City Monday night scene in which a band of music geeks plays classic covers not available in the karaoke hall, and invites members of the audience to take on the role of frontperson.
		With over 18 interviews (including Greg Hetson of Bad Religion) and 40 punk and metal songs (belted by both amateur musicians and virgin performers), Punk Rock / Heavy Metal Karaoke testifies to the redemptive powers of the rock experience with wit, glee and volume.
