G4 ran anime on Mondays for several years after Adult Swim found major success with it when it first started on Saturdays. Not coincidentally, this was back when Adult Swim wasn't running on Mondays and Tuesdays. Also not coincidentally, Adult Swim finally gave up on Saturday nights a while back and Cartoon Network is

It's watchable. Mostly for the nice animation and the various voice performances. I think it's gotten marginally better since it started but it's not like there has been massive improvement. It makes me laugh every now and then.

I also enjoyed the implication that Adventure Time predates Adult Swim.

Come on now, Dowd is way more subtle stylistically that Armond. And much less extreme grading-wise.

Let's not forget that The Ring replaced Ringu's moronic "psychic boyfriend figures out the backstory because he's randomly psychic!" plotline with actual investigative work.

I'm really hoping certain elements of the Park Chan-Wook ending are not kept intact. Not the reveal itself, Joe's reaction to the reveal. (trying to tread lightly here) Because Oh Dae-Su's reaction was one of the few problems I had with the original. And after seeing a few more Korean films (Park's in particular), I

I would also disagree with that statement from his "reliable sources" pretty strongly. Catching Fire is my favorite of the books, because I think it's the strongest exploration of this particular sci-fi dystopian setting as it relates to modern-day reality tv. Spoilers to follow:

Rifftrax is still at its best when they're lampooning terrible movies. Major Hollywood blockbusters are not nearly as effective for them, usually. The Twilight films being a notable exception.

Yeah, I'm in the minority (apparently) in that Catching Fire was my favorite book of the trilogy, but that ending sucked so, so much. Just insanely confusing wtf that isn't resolved until the third book.

I think "I've Got a Fang" is my least-favorite song on Mink Car, actually.

The downside of that is that the list of songs is the exact tracklist of one of Alice Cooper's greatest hits albums.

As a TMBG super-fan, you should be aware that they effectively shut down their children's stuff sometime in 2010 when they finished promoting Here Comes Science. They rarely play children's shows anymore and with two adult-oriented albums in the past three years, it seems like they're already doing what you want.

I will answer your question as well:

You forgot to mention the best song on The Spine, Museum of Idiots.

Lincoln remains my favorite to this day. *high five* I am also in my 30's.

I'm with Jordo in regards to Join Us. Probably my favorite TMBG album since Apollo 18. Nanobots has a lot of good songs on it but is a mild disappointment to me as a follow-up to Join Us.

I dug their band introduction from back when they had Dan Hickey drumming, along with Danny Weinkauf and Dan Miller. "It's a full house every night for They Might Be Giants!"

Moon Hooch was very cool, and they were visibly overwhelmed by the positive reaction of the Houston audience that night.

I got my first They Might Be Giants album (Flood) about a week before they played their last tape-machine show in Michigan. I got to see them later that summer in their first full band appearance in Michigan. So close- just missed! But the 15 or so times I've seen them over the past 21 years have been great.

I expect that it doesn't matter to Mrs. Train
