Kingz is right. I learned all about it on American Dad (the only episode I've seen). I tried to find the clip, but was unable to. It's in Deacon Stan, Jesus Man. Betsy gets pregnant after making out with Steve. American Dad doesn't lie!

You guys do know that two Hellboy animated movies are being made, right? Apparently they're going to air on cartoon network and then be released on dvd. Here's the blog of the guy who's in charge of the project. There should be a trailer of the first movie out soon. I hope they are able to nail the Mignola look as well as The Amazing Screw-On Head did.

First review.

Yes, the ending certainly was abrupt. I was expecting it to go on for at least 10 more minutes. I wouldn't say that there was no ending, but what was there certainly wasn't traditional.

This is completely unrelated to anything, but has anyone here seen The Matador? I got it from Netflix yesterday, and it is absolutely hilarious. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh.

I just got back from A Scanner Darkly. It's worth seeing if only for Robert Downey Jr and the amazing visuals. Surprisingly enough, Keanu Reeves doesn't even detract from it as he's usually prone to doing. I was a bit disappointed by the screenplay though. There were some good scenes, usually involving Robert Downey Jr, but on the whole it could have been a lot better. I wonder if the original Kaufman script was any better.

:shifty:

First 24 minutes of A Scanner Darkly

Wow!! This is awesome! It's amazing how well they duplicated Mignola's art style. I love Mike Mignola. This better get picked up. Also, are they really going to be airing Darkplace? Sweet. Hopefully it'll get a region 1 dvd release then, so I can get rid of the crappy versions I have.

Grim Fandango: The Movie would almost certainly be shit. Just watch Casablanca and be happy.

The humor in Full Metal Alchemist is genius. I love how they have approximately three "jokes" that they reuse every episode.

You should have watched the game yesterday. It was much more entertaining.

hmm... now that I think about it some more you've got a point. I still really enjoyed the game my first time through (my second was a little boring), but maybe Ragnar should try to get into the tv industry. I doubt he will, but, you're right, at present his games would probably work better as miniseries. Hopefully there will be more game to his next game.

Jimmy John's is the best sub shop.

I've watched Serial Experiments Lain, Planetes, and Samurai Champloo now. All of them were quite different from each other and quite excellent. I think I agree with Twilo, and enjoyed Samurai Champloo more than Cowboy Bebop. The second half of the show is especially good. What's up with the way they sell anime? I'd consider buying some of these shows if they didn't charge such exorberant prices for everything. Can they really only fit four episodes per dvd? For 26 twenty episodes of a tv show I wouldn't expect to have to pay much more than $40 if I were to pick it up off the shelf brand new. Instead, they charge you $20-$30 (new) per dvd with only four or five episodes on it. What the hell?

I don't know why, but it looks like you actually have to go to File->Close if you want it to minimize to the tray instead of entirely closing the program. It appears as if they have the 'X' defaulting to quit instead of close for some odd reason. I have no idea if there's a way you can change its behavior.

The new Ubuntu rules.

Seeing as he appears to have arranged them in chronological order, I'm guessing it's behind his head between Sam & Max and The Dig. hmm... for some reason I thought The Dig came out first though. It's been a while. I envy your boxed copies.

I'm surprised that they're giving you shit about what you buy. Every time I go to the ebgames near me there's at least one person there buying shit in a box in one form or another. I'd think that they'd be used to people asinine games to the point of not caring anymore (not that the games you bought are stupid). I was in there once and some guy was going on about how great the 50 Cent game (winner of numerous dubious honors) is, and the employee, who clearly thought the game sucked, just made up some crap about liking the music instead of telling the guy he needs his head examined. Actually, I guess they've got some pretty good employees there though. There's a guy there who I usually talk to about Double Fine and who seems to be on the up and up on what games are actually good.

The Daily Show seems to be slipping, to me. I find The Colbert Report to be consistantly funnier than it.

Never seen it. Should I check it out?

The Third Man kicks ass. A tv show of that calibur would be too good to be true.

I don't think Cowboy Bebop is the greatest show ever, but to be fair to it it does have more noir elements besides some visual style. This is probably best seen in the disappointingly underdeveloped Spike backstory (5 episodes in a 26 episode run?), what with the regret, betrayal, femme fatale, and the what not. Yeah, it probably could have been a lot better done, but it's still there. Whether or not the show took itself too seriously, I don't know. I don't think I ever took it that seriously. I enjoyed watching it for the style and action more than anything else. Especially since most of the stand alone plots were the same and predictable. In most shows it's a forgone conclusion that the good guy is always going to win in the end. In Cowboy Bebop its a forgone conclusion that they're always going to lose yet in some lame way win. They actually get, what, one maybe two bounties in the entire series. Again, I did enjoy it despite this.

What's wrong with that? Style counts for something. Does anyone here watch Samurai Jack for its riveting plots, witty dialogue, and deep characters?
