He was an endlessly fascinating person, his activism and work in the child development field is just as groundbreaking as his work in television and the “edutainment” genre

WhIle I can appreciate good animation and music, that’s usually way down the list of my enjoyment of something. I get what you’re saying about the themes, but I feel like that stuff is more pronounced in the manga adaptation, which has a much more melancholy tone (but people seem to vocally hate the manga, mostly…

While I’m not crazy with some of his pearl-clutching comments in relation to cartoons, Mr. Rogers more than made up for it with his seemingly boundless compassion and love for children and his shows reassuring, understanding tone for the problems young children face growing up. “I like you just the way you are” is…

William Friedkin is still alive!?!?!?

Ugh, I feel dirty for clicking on that link and inadvertently contributing to that sites traffic 

I still don’t understand the originals appeal, it seemed to be one of the absolute worst examples of “weird for the sake of weird” within the medium of anime, and it’s not like that’s really a big leap for Gainax, who seem to primarily traffic in shallow nonsense shows that get praised across the board. I guess you…

Yes.

Why postpone? We already know Bret’s role in the band can easily be filled by a casette tape, so long as Jemaine doesn’t stand near any large magnets the tour should be able to commence as planned.

JUSTICE!

Not all of them actually, there are plenty of shows I’ve seen that don’t have disclaimers despite ostensibly being based on fact, even those that do have it tend to do their best to hide it. I think an example fo doing that stuff right would be Warner Brothers with their classic Looney Tunes, each one starts with a…

It’s gotten to the point that I think studios should just tack disclaimers at the beginning and possibly end of these shows to both cover their asses and keep stupid people from taking dramatizations as fact (which in the age of Trump seems like more of a possibility/eventuality than it probably ever has been)

Well, cool. I had put off picking any of them up because I had just assumed they stopped at the second volume (apparently for good reason as there seems to have been a huge gap between the second and third releases) I’ll be sure to pick them up, any Sentai is a good thing (much as I’d love for them to do stuff from…

So Southern Man is about Toronto residents?

Huh, in the comic he just says Fuck a lot

Oh shit so you can fly around in VR? I mean, that was kind of the only reason I ever played Second Life...also Second Life is still a thing?

Um, your analogy is flawed. My issue is with people trying to make VR “Movies! But you look around instead of us having to hire a competent DP!” and I’d like there to be at least a sizeable amount of input or gameplay or something the medium can offer that traditional video games or movies or comics or novels can’t.…

I think that was supposed to be “you’re” but my phone decided to change it. D’oh!

Haven’t they only released the two seasons so far? I figured they’ve just abandoned the series, and this would have been a prime time to finally release a subbed version of the original series which to my knowledge does not exist in any form, I think there may have been fansubs for like, the first three episodes made…

Arrow Video does a much, much, much better job, and are the true heir apparent to Criterion when it comes to cult films. I just don’t see Shout producing something on the level of Arrows four film box set of Blood Bath, which features all four cuts of the same footage that Corman repurposed so he could basically get…

Nah you see right, I do really like the idea of it kind of replacing theme parks someday, because then you can literally be sucked into those imaginary worlds and explore them. I guess I was more just angry about the current state of VR software, the tech is there to have some really great stuff, but so far it’s a lot…
