Hands off!

This article struck a nerve with me (actually multiple nerves, but I'll just pick one):



Frames Per Second Magazine; "Fund Animators not Adaptations"



There's a whole rash of anime that's being turned into live-action movies by Hollywood. As an anime fan who also happens to be an American comic fan who's witnessed the horrific trainwrecks. Hollywood can produce when they… Continue

I've only watched...

Ever see one of these reviews for a multi-disc series show up:



"I've only watched [the first disc | first episode | first 10 minutes] and [love | hate] this series!."



The thing with series is that it's not uncommon for them to start weak. Keep moving through and hopefully you'll see the writers hit their stride, and the actors get comfortable with their roles, and suddenly you get what all the hype (if there was any) was about. The reverse happens too -- a show starts of… Continue

Wither the movie theater.

This kinda ties into my last post about family friendly movies. I read this discussion, which turned out more interesting that I thought it would be:



http://community.netflix.com/forum/topics/why-i-dont-go-to-movies



Back in the day, having a decent home theater was pretty rare. Having a big(ish) TV, a .1 stereo that could decode surround sound, a VCR/LD/VD system that could support surround sounds, and the speakers to back it up was pretty much the domain of… Continue

Anime and it's side effects.

A little bit of background first.



We, at the Suquamish residence, like to have family movie night.



However, most of what gets offered up a serviceable family content for movies usually ends up not being very family friendly. I have a novel concept of what I consider good family content -- it's got to engage the entire family.



I do not sit the kids down in front of the TV while I go do other things -- which is what a lot of people seem to think "family… Continue

musing on reviews and vengeance

Netflix providing the ability to rate a review as "helpful" or "not helpful" is fairly cool (and standard) feature, but I wonder how many people use it as a tool to actually critique the value of any particular review?



If you wander by movies that have a particularly strong fan following and actually go through the reviews, you'll see a honest-to-goodness bad reviews where someone decided that something like "This disk woudn't play when I inserted into my… Continue

Alright! Another Trekkie! Live long and prosper my friend.


You know...I'm not surprised our tastes are so similar on NF. I mean, come on! We're both into Star Trek and anime! LOL!

Ah, #24 from a village in Provence, Lourmarin. If you'd like a copy just let me know and I'll post my Shutterfly site or post it where ever you'd like.

Enjoy!

I like the core Star Wars series except for the last few minutes of the Return of the Jedi, where they have the sappy cast shot. Love The Incredibles too. It has something for everyone..No capes darlink!.Dr Who and Forbidden Planet are favs too. Not a horror fan at all unless it's old really like the old Hammer films and Day of the Trifids. Trifids and Daleks being two the silliest villians of all time. The Thing is good, I guess it is horror. The Swamp Thing is another good one. My husband loves Army of Darkness and Shawn of the Dean. I just can't get into them for whatever reason.
