Fu Manchu doing a cover of "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple.

Bruce Timm doing an animated Conan the Barbarian series
Would be pretty cool. I read in an interview that he's a big Conan fan and have seen some of his Conan sketches and they are excellent. Conan hasn't ever been done right in any form outside of the original Howard stories or comics. The first movie is great in its

Need an intro to kung-fu Legface? Give this a look:

Why are you talking like that?

Yeah, I thought Strickler's whole "I help kill the woman you love, then you continue working for me and everything's gravy" plan was a little out of whack considering everything we had seen from Strickler up until that point. He always couched his job offers to Michael by saying he would still be doing good works just

I was so relieved when Callie Thorn was revealed as the bad guy. It made her whole hinting at being raped thing much more palatable for me.

I get the feeling that they will have to air it on TV if they want the show to make sense. So wait awhile, it will probably run before the season 2 premiere.

Can't believe I'm actually anticipating Dollhouse season 2
Like most who tuned in initially, I thought the beginning episodes were "Meh" bordering on bad. Then things started to pick up midway through the season. At that point my feelings went from "Meh" to firmly ambivalent. When I heard that inexplicably, in

At the time Expose first aired, I was getting pretty restless with the format of the show. Really, how many flashback episodes about Charlie being a junkie could this show turn out? And how many more before they realized I had stopped giving a shit? So when Expose aired, I thought it was a breath of fresh air. A
