Tonight when I went to the campus center and turned to the TV to Cartoon Network, during a commercial for Steven Universe one girl in the corner of the room who wasn't watching TV in the first place went "the new Cartoon Network needs to die."

So are we gonna get an alternate opening next week? If Jake the Dog is absent for most of the adventuring (as opposed to going along and just hiding in Finn's pocket the whole time), that could be a good excuse for a different opening.

And sometimes it means "Awesome stuff no network is touching because only Adult Swim will even give it a chance and they only have so much money to spend on it."

But Alf is back! In Pogs!

Avatar The Last Airbender is at least tied with Rocko for the pinnacle, and Invader ZIM and the first 3 seasons of Spongebob are above Rugrats.

Only one preview ep's up on iTunes; they're airing 2 eps tonight. Maybe it's in the second one?

Doesn't need to be too serious; something that mixed seriousness and silliness (and actually good animation) like the old TT show would suffice.

I wouldn't say better than Book 1, but better than the first 12 episodes of Book 1 could be argued.

But was he a stripper like Earl Warren?

Which is not particularly high praise given the competition.

My mom laughed in disbelief at how bad it looks.

Best Animated Feature next year seems like it's between How to Train Your Dragon 2 and The Boxtrolls, though I expect I'll be rooting for the Charlie Kaufman/Dan Harmon/Dino Stampopolos collaboration Anomalisa. There's also Ghibli's Princess Kaguya, the Del Toro-produced Book of Life, and Disney's first Marvel cartoon…

I'm not trying to make some sort of statement on the value of the Tomatometer, rather refuting the assumption that Dowd rates everything lower than the majority of reviewers.

45% on the Tomatometer. Dowd's actually more positive than the crowd this time.

Really, given how long this thing's been embargoed, a B's honestly a relief. I was expecting something worse.

When seeing this was gonna be about editing, I assumed it was gonna be another article about how the editor of the original release saved the movie from itself.

And regular three-ways with Johnny Depp, obviously.

Big Fish was a book originally.

I've liked almost all of Tim Burton's films, but Alice in Wonderland was painful. Not the worst movie I've ever seen (Helena Bonham-Carter and Anne Hathaway have some funny scenes amidst all the boredom) but easily the most disappointing.
