The closet

Cocaine? The cokehead is retiring to focus on doing more cocaine? On..cocaining more? (if it wasn’t a verb, now it is)

“What would it take for you guys to accept someone has changed?”

That person really changing. Never apologizing and sneaking in back to the place with help of your friend doesn’t sound like changing.

Wasn’t it that scene where a hot redhead Nicole Kidman does a little dance in front of the women? That scene has been forever printed in my memory since I first watched it. Hot redhead Nicole Kidman was the best thing in that movie (which was already by itself a nearly perfect movie)

Stockard Channing? Charmed didn’t have redhead Nicole Kidman. Redhead Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in a movie.

(although I gotta admit Stockard Channing is also a pleasure to watch)

Ahh, if only....

Practical Magic is a gem of a movie, fun from the beginning to the end (even if it is an stereotypical chick flick). Charmed? Not that much. Unlike Practical Magic Charmed never knew how to balance romance and relationships with witchcraft, supernatural and magical villains well (like how the first…

Thanks, you just discussed something I have always been saying for years. It has always bothered me so much how the conservative culture of nationalism and national pride and lack of self-criticism that has permeated the Japanese society since the end of the Second World War has influenced so much the Japanese popular…

The Simpsons were always great at making Amish jokes, even in episodes as far from the Golden Age as the Season 14 episode “Old Yeller-Belly”:

Probably back to Death Mountain.

THe only ones I know that were his were the Sea Captain and Lyle Lanley, the monorail seller.

Lionel Hutz obscure? Maybe only for the people who started watching the show a decade ago.

Australia? I expected adult people who have never seen or even heard of The Simpsons to be living in the mountains of Afghanistan, Tuareg people living in the Saharan Desert or natives in the middle of the Amazon Forest who never had contact with modern civilisation.

Too many animated shows that feature talented and often famous one-time guest-stars in very good roles unfortunately suffer of that. Steven Universe, for example, during its run already had Aimee Mann, Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne and even freaking Nicki Minaj in good guest roles as one-time characters that could as well…

Nah, I think Sonic won’t have any friend in this enterprise, he will be on his owl.

That was exactly the feeling I got from Boxman. He is like the Jack Spicer of OK K.O., while villains that so far we have seen so little like Professor Venomous, Fink and Cosma (the dragon lady that appeared in “Stop Attacking the Plaza” in a meeting with Professor Venomous and Boxman) might become in the future the…

Nah, too gassy of a planet, and it’s always feeling blue and giving us that icy stare.

Yeah! Venus is hot, Mars is rusty. Which one would you prefer: hot or rusty? I would go for hot any day.

Japanese teenagers (of both genders), the main target of the Japanese animation industry, don’t like gritty science fiction animes as much as we Western geeks do. They prefer and love moe bull crap and generic shonen/high school/slice-of-life so that’s only what the Japanese animation industry is going to produce,…

After seeing this and having recently watched Ghost in the Shell (the original 1995 animated movie) I have to say: the world definitely needs more gritty cyberpunk-scented science fiction animes, specially if done by Sunrise or Production I.G. Sometimes anime can be such a perfect medium for science fiction.

I would do…

That’s what I love about cartoon creators and writers of the 2010s: they are all nerds like us, many of them in their 20s and early 30s (and they each year getting younger), with tastes and profiles more similar to the ones of their viewers. They know what us viewers love and want to see because they love and want to…
