Is Rio 2096 as similar to Cloud Atlas as the trailer makes it look?

It hasn't had its release yet. It starts playing in LA for a week Friday, then opens wider and dubbed February 21st, obviously hoping an Oscar nomination will give them a marketing angle.

Wolf Children played a week in LA. Did someone mess up the paperwork? It would be my second pick for the win (after Wind Rises; haven't seen the other foreign submissions yet though).

I hope you're not dismissing the movie on its subject matter. It's certainly not supporting the war.

Wind Rises better win. It's great and it's Miyazaki's final film. If I had my way, the film would also be up for Sound Mixing/Editing and Miyazaki would sneak in with a Best Director nomination.

Disney probably just submitted it to make sure there'd be 5 nominations, increasing the chances of their three serious contenders (Monsters University, Frozen, The Wind Rises) to all get in.

It was barely promoted. From what I gathered, the network didn't even give it a chance because it would have to end up a massive hit to end up making a profit (since it was all fully-animated in the US, it was significantly more expensive than their other new shows and new management decided the investment wasn't…

A faithful animated adaptation of Frankenstein would also be awesome. If they were careful about not being too graphic they could probably keep it within a PG, but they'd have to keep the unhappy ending for it to work (the forced happy ending really hurt the almost-great Hunchback).

Still, FLCL's only 6 episodes long and all on Hulu so you have no excuse to not finish that.

That very accessibility makes it all the more puzzling and upsetting when some girl in the corner of the campus center, who wasn't watching the TV in the first place, went "THE NEW CARTOON NETWORK MUST DIE" when the Steven Universe commercial came on, even though it doesn't have the offputting elements of the other…

I don't watch Regular Show often, I've always thought it was clever but never strongly clicked with my sense of humor (I think I'd love it if I was either 10 years younger and in the supposed target demographic or 10 years older and in the actual target demographic of people who remember the '80s), but since it was…

I was thinking Creep.

I understand chopping it up given how we didn't know this was a two-parter until the last few seconds anyway. Waiting two weeks is kind of awful, though, given how we just had another break last week. Is Steven Universe on break too? It better not be.

Why "or" when you could do "and"?

I loved the pilot and I like what I've watched of the series, it's just since there's nothing there beyond the nuttiness for older viewers it's not something I keep up with like I do Adventure Time (I do respect how they sneak in positive messages for younger viewers, but it doesn't have AT's depth).

Eh, if I have any feminist anger regarding the show, it's directed toward the toy companies that refused to make a toyline for it because of the female lead, thus dooming the series to cancelation.

So, thoughts on the series?

Maybe since Teen Titans/JLU/MEGAS XLR around 2004-5 (and since you're counting Cowboy Bebop despite being not being an Adult Swim original, you can extend that to include Yuyu Hakusho, Gundam Seed, and Rurouni Kenshin on the Toonami block around that time)?

But a John K True Believer would be hating Roger Rabbit right along with the book.

When I first got cable when I was around 9 or 10, I watched pretty much every cartoon on Nick and CN at the time. When i saw Rocket Power, I kept wondering, what was it about this that was supposed to be funny or interesting?
