****. well, I guess it's "rent anime from netflix" during midnight now... Is there a Paranoia Agent boxset?

The block would do well with a restructuring, here's my shot at it: 11.0. FullMetal Alchemist 11.5. Samurai Champloo 12.0. S-cry-ed 12.5. Paranoia Agent 1.0. InuYasha 1.5. Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal draws the big crowds and there is only a small drop-off with Champloo. The action fans get...

I loved the ending, highly remicent of Invader ZIM, although this episode really had a lot going for it psychologically. very interesting... I've noticed a corralation between Tsukiko (sp?) and Ichi... both are perfectionists who become overwhelmed by mental stress, and the people close to them...

I know they will never pick it up, and I'll get shot for even mentioning it... Excel Saga. If Excel Saga were aired on Adult Swim, it'd be a ratings behemoth. It shares a lot with ASC originals, FLCL and even arguably Family Guy. While it wouldn't do Bebop good or RC/FG/Futurama good, I...

Paranoia Agent, to me, feels like David Lynch with FLCL asthetic. Plotwise, Boogiepop sounds about right. In other words, this show is %&$#ing crazy. The intro is delightfully psychotic, and the show captivates me. It's great, really.

Digital Love by Daft Punk and The Modern Age by The Strokes.

Almost anything by the Flaming Lips, particularly "Do You Realize!?" and "The Spark That Bled" also Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet" and The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" and a bunch of songs I can't even recall right now.

Baz Luhrman sez: WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!

One word: Kikaider.

Debbie Does Dallas with popsicle sticks? That I can't afford to miss.

Predictions: (my picks in brackets) -Picture: The Aviator (Sideways) -Director: Scorsese, Aviator (Eastwood, M$B) -Actor: Foxx, Ray! (Foxx, Ray) -Actress: Staunton, Drake (Winslet, Sunshine) -Supp. Actor: Freeman, Million Dollar Baby (Owen, Closer) -Supp. Actress: Blanchett, Aviator...

one word: Beck. Holy crap, Beck is great. Odelay is one of the funnest recordings I've ever heard, and Sea Change is dead-on 60's folk. right now, "Where It's At" is addictingly bizzare and catchy and I can't get enough of "Diamond Dogs" either But his cover of "Everybody's Gotta Learn...

mark my words, Gungrave will be one of them. Name recognition (which got Wolf's Rain on the air) and merchandise sales will make it a definite adquisition. as for the other one... Tenchi GXP? I honestly have no idea. at all.

Shows I have seen very little of in brackets: 1. Cowboy Bebop 2. FLCL 3. Mobile Suit Gundam 4. Gundam 0080 5. Big O 6. FullMetal Alchemist 7. The Animatrix 8. Detective Conan 9. Blue Gender 10. [Tenchi Muyo] 11. .hack//SIGN 12. Lupin The Third 13. Ghost In The Shell 14. InuYasha 15. [Read...

wow... that's a really, really awful bunch of nominations. Nice to see Vera Drake get some nominations... but, man, Eternal Sunshine, Kill Bill, Closer and especially PAUL GIAMATTI got snubbed. Hard. The tech choices are frustrating and confusing... looks like they tried to "spread the wealth"...

Champloo promises to be interesting, or at least camp. Isn't it actually from the guy who did Bebop? (not like Wolf's Rain, I mean) PARANOIA AGENT! F**K YES! I've been waiting forever to watch that and I can't wait, except for the fact I miss Saturday ASA so much I think that I might never be...

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this, but wouldn't it be smarter to air ATHF prior to the second Family Guy? 11:45 is a really crappy time to start a 30 minute show. Also, WTF happened to Sealab? I despise the show with every fiber of my being, but I thought Williams Street was still trying to...

while I'm not 18, if I had entered and won I would have done Weekdays: 11.0. Futurama 11.5. Family Guy 12.0. FLCL 12.5. Cowboy Bebop 1.0. Blue Gender 1.5. Mobile Suit Gundam Saturday: 11.0. The Venture Brothers 11.5. FLCL 12.0. Full Metal Alchemist 12.5. Tenchi Muyo! 1.0. Mobile Suit...

Pringles or Lays'll do, but I love the weird "organic" chips they have in some places. They're real good, although many look frighteningly unappetizing.

Coldplay, Beck and Flaming Lips are all must-get purchases. And anything indie but MTV friendly like Franz Ferdinand.

Top 10 best singles of the year: 1. Good Vibrations by Brian Wilson 2. Mosh by Eminem 3. Comfortably Numb by Scissor Sisters 4. Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand 5. Jesus Walks by Kanye West 6. Float On by Modest Mouse 7. Run by Snow Patrol 8. Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg 9. Heroes And...

Wasn't The Matrix partially inspired by the original Ghost In The Shell movie?

Alrighty then... Best Series: -Case Closed Best Single Episode: -"Focus Grill", Home Movies Best Male Character: -Alphonse Elric, FullMetal Alchemist Best Female Character: -Agent Paper, Read Or Die Best Special: -The Animatrix Best New Theme Song: -Ghost In The Shell, narrowly edging...

there's one song I forgot to mention on that last thread... "Auld Lang Syne". The lyrics are stunning, and the treatment it is given by the Beach Boys in their cover is fantastic, though I wish they didn't have the annoying spoken-word banter and just sung the song completely. Regardless, the...

It worked for the Gorillaz and Daft Punk, who pretty much became the people they were in the videos, and that helped them get press attention. (Gorillaz took this to a full extent) Also of note is the video for Radiohead's Paranoid Android, which I believe uses some clips from "Robin". (if any...

Compiled my Christmas mix... Most of my music this month will come from under the tree, though I may buy some songs on iTunes.

Enya- Silent Night Band Aid- Do They Know It's Christmas? John Lennon- War Is Over Adam Sandler- Chanukah Song Bing Crosby & David Bowie- Little Drummer Boy and also "My Favorite Things", though I find most versions of that song appalling.

The best place for families and small children in particular is, as previously mentioned, Air & Space Museum downtown. All the museums are located a short walk away from each other, so everything's convenient. Theme park wise, there's a Six Flags, of course, but Kings Dominion to the south is...

STEP INTO DA GRAND TOUR please spare me. oh, and also that other DB one. "a boy and a girl working together lalalalala" how 'bout... no.

American Idol, and to a lesser extent survivor. Neither is degrading, neither is cheap, neither use shock value (well you could argue about Survivor) and neither feed off the cruelty of human beings... at least very little. Oh, and Surreal Life is the biggest trainwreck of them all. You just...

I find this rather ironic. Two years ago, Cage is the lead role in Adaptation, a movie condemming bad formula action movies. Two years later, he goes to #1 as the lead role in what looks like a bad formula action movie. Weird, huh?

I've heard Exodus and can't stand it. However, if Deep River is ever released stateside, that I'll buy first day out.

I am absolutely hooked on Embrace's "Gravity", a recent ballad that struck big in Britain. While the vocals are a little unimaginative, the songwriting is top-notch and even a little familiar. Then again, it should be: Chris Martin of Coldplay fame composed the song. Also of note are the...

Verne Troyer? the MIDGET? should be interesting.

just finished C.S. Lewis' "Screwtape Letters" and am now concerned with "Martin The Warrior" by Brian Jaques. In addition, our new English books, "Animal Farm" and "The Giver" are set to be given soon. Hefty load.
