I had been something of a lukewarm "fan" of Gottfried Helnwein ever since I first came to know him from his collaborations with Marilyn Manson in 2003. It was only fairly recently that I even learned that many of his works were in fact paintings and not merely photographs. I had no sooner ...

I think it does.

I can't bring myself to stick additional Godzilla projects into the AGAIN file and be shocked or annoyed. Godzilla is one of those things that's always bound to return in some form; he's like the news. I can't wait, even if it sucks, because there will be another one looming behind i...

I just finished my homework for Intro to Screenwriting. This is the first time in a long time that I've had the opportunity to go to bed on a Sunday.

I can't do shit.

I've finally just seen the first episode of Magic Knight Rayearth (Hulu recently added it) and... DAMN. I've long said that the theme song to this show is by far one of my favorite theme songs ever; let it never be mistaken for my feelings about the show. I know I've only seen on...

I grabbed several pilots over PSN and out of all of them (somewhat to my amazement/consequent to several disappointments) the show I'm really digging is Bamboo Blade. It's great at being what I need right now: shallow fuzzy light comic entertainment.

Anything to make people forget the iPon.

I can't tell if this has been mentioned before (that search function is all wonky for me), but I was cruising LBP late last night and came upon a level that made me say "wow" aloud to myself. A user named " bodmerr " has published a level called " EVANGELION ...

What is the frequency of banning, approximootely?

This is known as the Funiball Z process.

Neither the TV ending nor EoE would be touched. The script would be altered to make Kaworu out to be the mastermind behind everything. After his (silent, bloodless) defeat, footage of Tokyo-3 would be set to the sounds of cheering crowds, and the only remaining shot would be of Shinji saying...

Oh man oh man, the level designer from Sonic and Knuckles, Jun Senuoue handling the music....This is either going to be awesome, or the straw that broke the hedgehog's back. I am both excited and worried. The track they spilled in the promos didn't impress me at all. Jun has handled the mus...

I finally got Little Big Planet. Yay!

I wasn't expecting much from The Blind Side , and I got even less. Slyly skirting around or quickly dismissing every 800-pound gorilla the premise would naturally call into question (racism, teen sex, class division, family opinions, and surprisingly, the tendency of American football to occ...

He said "little girls", not "talking couch cushions".

I'm thinking chocolate milk for some reason.

Jelly and jam are two distinct food products. Jelly is made from fruit juices, while jam is made from the pulp of the whole fruit. Jam is thick and chunky, while jelly is smooth and even.

This has been another Useless Fact.

I promised myself I'd make it to at least one con this year, but I'm cheesing out on this one because it's just too far to walk.

I liked Clannad + After Story (to my surprise) so much that I went out and got Kanon and Air . Having seen Clannad first, the other two series struck me as being almost prototypical; elements are recycled so shamelessly as to seem like mere drafts. (I had high hopes for Air given all of ...
