Does anybody else hate the new labelling/formatting here over the last few days? The way that an article just says “Film” on the front page and you have to click thru to see whether its a newswire, a four our consideration or whatever? And how if it is a newswire, and you click on the Newswire link that would usually

Unidentified A** P****

Lots of great choices already mentioned. I haven’t seen Strange Planet yet, though, and I think that it deserves a nomination.

You would think a guy who is all about pissing people off would be HAPPY that it's easy to piss people off.

It’s based on the Apostles and on the Apocrypha. It’s called “The Apostles and Apocrypha.”

I don’t even understand the beef. It’s not like Mickey has Gucci Mane face ink now. If the guy pulling the lever on the teacups having a tattoo on his arm breaks your immersion, what were you imagining? A park run by an identical army of robot slaves? Your grandfather’s racist memories of the ‘50's?

It seemed to me like Boomer exec saw his grandkids watching a 10-minute vid on Youtube and thought “Shit. Let’s charge for that” without any further thought put into it.

Loved that stupid show.  Damn shame it never got a second season.

And I’m of the mind that we should be more interested in the work of crazed auteurs who bend studios to their will than big studios pumping out “content.”

Fear not, some suburban CA kids are staying vigilant.

Steak-innit

After seeing the list including The Equalizer, Magnum P.I., One Day at a Time and MacGyver, it took me a second for my brain to realize that #23 was not Manimal.

Quite.

I never understood why that doesn’t happen - like, if there isn’t enough time to prep before a guest appears (well, then arrange things so that there is?), then at least fill one of the Many hours of news programming with a reflective analysis (and stop relying on a late night comedy show to do that for you)

Now playing

Editing is censorship. People need to see all 20 takes of the same scene because the actors kept flubbing their lines.

That’s a shame, because the premise alone sounds like something a better — and braver — movie could do something with. If the force empowering unambiguous do-gooding is actually a demon, how could you tell?

And, more unsettlingly: would it matter?

Now, if this project comes to fruition and is an all encompassing take on the Rankin & Bass animal heroes, seamlessly combining the best elements of Thundercats, Silver Hawks, and Tigersharks, we’ll have ourselves one heck of a movie!

Dr. Oz laughs while saying his “harshest critic” is his wife. Considering all of the above, we sort of hope that isn’t still true.

Sokka’s gonna be pissed.
