@alurin, rumour has it Brent Spiner is in this (he's in the prequel comics, for sure). Won't they fanwank is as him being programmed to age or something?

I want a sequel to Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions.

The final season of Angel is the best thing Mutant Enemy ever did (IMO), and the has best show finale ever. Only the end of The Shield comes close. I remember watching it and crying almost all of the way through. It's just perfection. Lorne's final scene is devastating. wookiee is right, the arcs of some of the…

Thanks for the recipe, Keith. Getting blasted on a lot of seabreezes is the logical response to such bad news. He will be missed.

Huh?
Why are these albums all named like graphics cards or beta versions of new browsers?

Maybe the message is that we should all start making babies - stupid, brainy, poor, rich, young, old, diabetic, non-diabetic…

Chuck Jones
I've annoyed everyone I know by going on and on about how I think Chuck Jones is the greatest artist of the 20th Century. There are a number of his cartoons that are sheer perfection on every level, but the thing that sets them apart - even beyond the brilliant contributions of Mike Maltese and Carl…

Team America vomiting gag
This left me a shaking, gasping wreck when I first saw it, and watching it again just now set me off again.

This spoof of Hitchcock's The Birds is brilliant on a million levels. Or maybe just a couple.

Kidnapper. Blurg.

In Horse Feathers, I love that Harpo wears a hat saying "Dogcatcher" when he's a dogcatcher, and later, when he has to abduct someone, it says "Kidnappper".

"Don't go bein' a twat now."

H.E.L.P.eR's drumbeat in Tears of a Seacow got me good. See also: Colonel Gentleman's resurrection, and the Ventronic robot in The Lepidopterists.

Red Sleigh Down and the LOTR rip-off nearly put me in an early grave.

"At no point did I claim that all characters were stereotypes or whatever disparaging thing you (and others) made up in your mind."

drl909, I've been handing out my copy of season 1 to everyone I can, or even going so far as to buy them for people too far away to borrow them. None of them expressed any interest in any of the themes of the show, but were curious about it due to the critical praise. Everyone who borrowed them is now a rabid fan too.…

wookiee, I'm cool with determinism in this show. We're not going to see the future change, I don't think. Instead we'll see how much the actions of our heroes in the past have affected them in the future. It's like ironic psychoanalysis; the characters make terrible mistakes in the present because of things that…

And then I notice you've called it Animation Month. That'll teach me not to be so easily distracted by Jan Svankmajer's name. Nothing to see here…

Animation Season
Very much looking forward to the run of animated movies coming up (though perhaps not Alice, which makes me nauseous deep in my soul). Mr. Tobias, will Millennium Actress be the last animation you cover, or will there be more than five?
