Review of COOL WORLD




 FRANK HARRIS (Brad Pitt), a recently discharged WWII veteran, is taking his mother for a motorcycle ride when a car runs into them and she is killed. A scientist, DR. VINCENT WHISKERS in COOL WORLD sees the accident through an interdimensional portal.

Cool world is a parallel universe in which the inhabitants are cartoons (“DOODLES”), a fountain pen is a dangerous weapon because it can suck the ink from a character, and sex between doodles and “NOIDS”, (humans) is strictly forbidden because it could destroy both the real world and the cartoon world. Whiskers plans to teleport into the real world, but a mishap occurs and Frank is transported to Cool World.

Jumping ahead forty-seven years, we meet JACK DEEBS, a prisoner (he killed his wife's lover) who is being released. While in jail he had gotten inspiration to write a comic strip about Cool World, which he thinks is his own original creation. Drawing one of the characters in particular, the shixalicious HOLLI WOULD (Kim Basinger), has helped maintain his sanity while in jail.

When he gets home, lights flash off and on and Jack is drawn into Cool World to meet Holli. She is sex-personified, a beauty, but most of the rest of Cool world is chaotic, ugly, and violent, though, since the inhabitants are cartoons, no one gets hurt by the violence. Holli tells Jack she wants to go to the real world and feel reality. To that end, she seduces him and, in some pretty good morphing, becomes human.  Thus, the prime directive—no sex between noids and doodles—has been broken and the basic fabric of both realities endangered...

The plot is often silly, the animation is primitive, and the characters poorly developed. But the movie has a certain charm. Holli’s eroticism, though without nipples or pubes, is a pleasant stimulus for working out (at least for guys). Of interest, when she becomes human, she is no longer shixalicious. In one sequence, she flashes between her voluptuous form and a clown suggesting that preoccupation with sex is in itself not real, but rather something to be relegated to the world of cartoons and other fantasies.

At any rate, it helped my workout. I rate it as ++++. It should get your pulse up to a run.
