1. People want to see A Tale of Two Cities meets The Terminator.

2. The principal use Time Travel has is for attaining Profit.

3. Even more than a shark or Sith Lord, no one wants Edward Cullen as a roommate.

4. Most popular comic strip movie choice is Beetle Bailey: AWOL. I see Matt Damon attached to it.

5. The main reason none of you selfish people have sent me my monkey is because you keep irradiating them in an attempt to create criminal super-apes.

6. Pixar's Duck Tales would in fact be the shit.

7. Instead of feeling sick it would be better to have a head full of sexiness, yummy pie or a Summer's day.

8. The use of time portals to summon dinosaurs will be stopped by a mastery of bureaucratic red tape and civic regulations combined with having a teen side-kick.

9. Full! Contact! Calvinball!

10. I should eat rye bread, shredded cheese and dry cereal? You people are just weird.

BONUS! You all think foot biting is the most common way for my cat to communicate. You're wrong. Its like 3rd at most...

A movie full of coming-of-age cliches; Be True to Yourself, the Outsider Becomes the New Normal, Misfit Army and more. But the beautiful animation, the amusing dialogue and of course the adorableness and emotive nature of the lead dragon make it an excellent film. What should be a thread-bare mosiac manages to be a highly enjoyable tapestry...

Dwayne McDuffie (who was behind much of the best of JL & JLU) writes the animated adaptation of the Grant Morrison Earth-2 story. I liked the cameos by the mirror Earth-2 "heroes" that served as lackeys to the Crime Syndicate. Though I'm probably one of like three people who likes "good" Joker being the Jokester instead of Red Hood or the Jester. And President Slade Wilson was an interesting touch. I'm not sure I agree with how Batman sort of sets up the death of two different people in it. It always feels like a misstep to me to have Batsy even indirectly responsible for someone's death...

A nice new take on the class DCU team. Its a little weird to hear Clark going by Superman instead of Superboy because of the rights issues. And hopefully later episodes will keep increasing the number of Legionairres shown. Good use of the Fatal Five in the premiere and I like the Alexis Luthor and evil-Superboy characters...

I never read the original run of the Incredible Hulk comics with this story-line. So I just knew about it from recaps in other books. The only real fault I have with it are some momentary cameos in crowd scenes from other cosmic Marvel characters. Like Gamora, Star-Lord and Adam Warlock. They don't really add anything. But beyond that you've got a bit of Gladiator mixed with some Spartacus and a dash of Conan. In space. With the Hulk. So pretty awesome...

I think this is now my favorite Wes Anderson movie. Its just cussin' brilliant. I can't recall ever reading the book as a kid though, I don't think I ever got into Dahl. The titular Mr. Fox is a chicken- and thief who goes into a less risky line of work after getting married and having a son. But he ends up going back to his thieven' ways after he moves his family to a new home near the three meanest and richest farmers around...

Clooney meshes well with Anderson's cast of regulars and the animation is just perfect. The whole movie is wonderful and smart and fun and moving and funny and clever. And it even has an excellent sound-track. Though I can't recall an Anderson movie that doesn't have that...

As a time travel story this anime was..well silly. The "rules" for how Makoto can make her time jumps aren't worked out very well. The movie does use the gimmick for some amusing sequences though. As a teen romantic drama it works better. Even if I thought the ending could have been stronger...

Best. Use. Of. Hitler. Ever!

Also, I'm glad to see that despite them fucking up airing it on tv, Comedy Central/Adult Swim's website had the episode running fine...

Something about the big-jawed human males in this bothered me. Creeped me out a little. But other than that a fun movie. The hero, Susan aka Ginomrica was likable and the action sequences were good. Especially the giant robot fight. Plus Seth Rogen is good at these animated comic relief characters. In this case B.O.B. the blobby thing...

So I'm watching my Complete Season 3, and these uncensored episodes feature a LOT of truly unpleasant full frontal nudity. Seriously, even if I were into dudes, I don't think these would be wangs I'd want to see...

So terrible. So very terrible. It has some kind of awful gravity to it that makes me keep switching back and watching more. Why? WHY DO I HURTS MYSELF? The bad combo 2-d and CG animation. The writing. Oh gods. Long lost secret brothers? Ludicrous pseudo-science even a Trek writer would reject. SO BAD!

Dogsitting all week and have nothing interesting to talk about. So I'm going to go back to watching cartoons in my underwear. Avatar: the Last Airbender and the new Iron Man are both pretty good...

While each of these flash animated movie recaps is pretty funny, it would have been nice if Netflix had packaged them in blocks instead of making me download each short as a separate episode. That got old real quick...

This is such a visual story that I have to wonder how well the book can evoke the same sense of strange wonder. While the story is a somewhat fairy tale standard of the Foolish but Plucky Girl its told and crafted well. And the visuals are very stunning. Some people make a very valid complaint that Gaiman goes too often to the "magical otherworld" well, but its a concept he works so well with...
