Oh yeah, and I really dig this new Tallest Man on Earth disk. I miss the rawness of the first but realize that you really can't make two disks that sound like they're recorded in your living room.
Also, he's eerily engaging in a live show.

My three cents: The New National will be eerily reminiscent of The Last National. Which isn't, you know, a bad thing (see Spoon).
The more tracks I hear from the new THS album the more I think they did their best work on the first two and have been, if not spinning their wheels, then going in a direction I'd rather…

Arthur Barnhouse? You sound an awful lot like Senator Tankerbell…

I really enjoyed One Hand Clapping.
I loved Clockwork (21 chapters and all) and bought Nothing Like the Sun, Dead Man, Honey for the Bears, Tremor of Intent and Byrne.
I could only finish One Hand Clapping…so I recommend that one.

though as the most recent film to use "state of the art animation" not all that pointless, since the point was, you know, a direct comparison to the film being reviewed.
Also, estimating 3 is pretty lame. Why not just keep an accurate count? I mean, estimating 20 seems about right.
By my estimate, you've made 1 stupid…

Knowing full well that nobody will ever read this, despite the fact that it may continue to exist on this here webernet long after my flesh has turned to dust, I must say that this film was amazing.
If you really think the animation was distracting I would say, sir/madam, that you've something wrong with you. After…

As stated above, Mr. Fox is just about perfect. There are so many amazing sequences (all done with "traditional" stop-action animation, as far as I've heard) and at least 25 serious laughs.
Seriously. If you can watch this without joy I would go to a doctor immediately.

We're talking about Invisible Man now, aren't we?

Though, on reflection, last week's episode worked for me, even though it served up NPH, because it was able to deepen his character the tiniest bit.

My fav was the fact that NPH had to physically leave the scene after Marshall did his "bleu, BLEU!" bit and that Robin totally and visibly giggled at it, on camera.

Personally, I don't think every episode has to directly relate to the meeting of the mother but feel that some of these episodes don't do anything. I'm super cool with episodes that flesh out the characters and their stories; this one felt tossed together and the whole "I wanted you in the picture with Marshall and…

THAT'S why Ninja Assassin was for sale at Target but not available on Netflix!
That there is some bullshit.
Though, while I'm at it, is he a Ninja Assassin cause he's going to assassinate ninjas? Cause I always thought that all Ninjas were, you know, assassins.
Ninja Car Salesman!
Ninja Orthopedic Surgeon!
Doctor Assassin!

I think that Free Willy, Air Bud and that chimp that can snowboard should all do a buddy comedy about life in these trying times.
Or maybe a reboot of Charlie's Angels.
Or a 3 Stooges film.

Also: series=season, obviously.

Just Saying
While I really appreciate the comedy that this ensemble can bring to television, I am increasingly thinking that they're just treading water.
In the initial series they could really get away with character development and it worked. Now it's just some random stories with no real connection to the whole…

For what it's worth (and considering the source) wilipedia clarifies that Ares is the God of Bloodlust more so than war; which totally clicks with Kratos…

@Evel: HA!

i always read this as a parable, not to be taken at face value. it's all exaggerated: the ultra-violence and the 21st chapter's "rebirth" or whatever.

How much character depth is really possible in two forty minute episodes? Especially when there are, like 20 interesting characters to introduce initially.
My guess is if they spent a ton of time developing one or two you'd be clammoring that none of the supporting characters get any attention.

But c'mon, name me another song that would "give the kids what they want" AND inspire such terrible dance-moves as Salt N' Peppa's Pushit?
Plus Kurt declaring "That's the way I like it" as "too gay" was pretty funny.
