Scott C. puts it pretty simply in his introduction,”Movies love conflict.”\u00a0\u00a0 Seemingly a self explanatory picture book at first glance, THE GREAT SHOWDOWNS<\/em>, by Scott C., is a collection of these collisions everyone should see.\u00a0 With foreword by Neil Patrick Harris, a bit of excitement is added for the reader before he thumbs through a congregation of iconic moments in film history.\u00a0 Most the fun is in sharing this with friends and seeing which of you is the biggest cinephile, as none of the prints are labelled (well over a 100 in all.)\u00a0 I sat in a room entertaining 5 other adults for nearly an hour attempting to solve the more obscure portraits with our nerdy braintrust, everyone appreciating the goofy little characters all the way through.\u00a0\u00a0 This compendium of iconic confrontations in silly, yet skilled, watercolor animation is well worth taking a look at and would strongly suit any coffee table to help spread the fun.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
