and i hate to say it, but the addition of inu yasha to the lineup makes the disclusion of gundam (or most other big robot series) seem like a HOLY BOLT FROM THE HAND OF JESUS, as far as i'm concerned (and i've watched quite a bit of anime).
anybody who posts "well, the only one i liked was cowboy bebop" has their head in the right place, but inu yasha will change your mind-- unless, of course, it's dubbed so terribly that all the characters are somehow dull and obnoxious at the same time.
as for those who say they "don't like" anime... to somebody who knows what they're talking about, that's like saying "i don't like fruit"... you've obviously only tried the bad ones.
Imagine how stupid Crouching Tiger would have been had it been dubbed
it was dubbed, and it sucked! i saw the dubbed version on a friend's computer after i had seen the subtitled version on the big screen. subtitles are so much better-- gomers who complain about having to read instead of watch need to learn how to read faster, that's all. dubbed translations always try to fit the words to the character's mouths, which is pointless anyway but leads to some really bad translations.
i don't know if any of you remember the old dubbed version of akira, where masaru (the little blue kid in a bubble) says "this chapter's finished" instead of "to the east of here". what the hell? what, i say, what the hell?
to try to get back on topic, i think the japanese people deserve a true japanese language version, but if that can't happen, don't bother dubbing it...
okay. the biggest issue i have with online comics is that, damn it, i don't want to read them online. thinking of the internet as a medium with which to replace other mediums is utter stupidity, i believe. the internet is less a replacement of paper than it is a replacement of voice; instant communication brings us one step closer to telepathy, not one step further from a sheet of paper. therefore, things like comics (and i mean comics as in comic books, not as in peanuts) should remain as they have always been: printed on crummy paper, with a fusion of word and art on the page. viewing these types of things on an illuminated screen just doesn't do it for me.
it seems, however, that it does do it for other people, so i wanted to raise the point that pay-per-view works better for comics than for virtually anything else except porn or sports: readers of print comics have the opportunity to purchase each comic individually or get a subscription. most seem to purchase individually. the problem lies in the fact that the internet is not a store: you cannot walk around, peruse different books and choose what you want after checking out a few anime wall scrolls. it's the screen, the bits and the bytes, that screw everything up-- stop thinking of the internet as another place to peddle your wares, people! use it for what it's meant for: communication, education and perhaps even *gasp* enlightenment.
They claim that a crowded marketplace in conjunction with the large number of ports will lead today's consoles down the same road as the Atari 2600.
god, i fuckin' hope so, because the atari 2600 is the only system i have right now because i bought one when they got cheap! if people are throwing away their playstation 2's in a few years, you can bet the smart kids out there will be nabbing them up for when they make their "retro" comeback. and the dumb kids, like me, will be sitting at home giggling with a beer in one hand and a controller in the other, because nothing feels better than playing kick-ass games you got for real cheap.
microsoft isn't going to collapse until the day bill gates rolls out of bed and thinks to himself, "i hate my company. i'm going to dissolve it today."
anybody who knows anything knows that "war room" is simply a euphemism for "bong parlor". the reason people are more productive is because they're all too baked to talk to one another, focusing their energies on programming instead (which, as everybody who knows anything knows, is really easy to do stoned).
the old cubicle system didn't allow for huge hookah-parties, thereby forcing employees/programmers to smoke out of their own small pieces, which didn't really get them that baked, just enough that they couldn't concentrate on anything anymore.
as a side note, picking the music is never difficult in a bong parlor-- no matter what you pick, everybody will start bobbing along to the groove and saying, "dude this is pretty sweet. what is it?".
i don't know about the rest of you chumps, but i've worked lots of temp jobs at places like rental companies, gas stations, and shitty shitty "alphabetize these" jobs. personally, benefits or not, i'd go temp at microsoft! shit, who could complain about not getting benefits when you're not having to say "have a good one" after every fill-up?
redubbed? does that mean, new dubbing??? if it does, i will be more excited than i could possibly handle: there is nothing i want more than to see the line "this chapter's finished" stricken from the script! that is one of the worst cases of poor translation any anime has ever seen!
also, for all you kats who can't figure the movie out: pull your head out of your ass (since the movie's not that tough) and read the comic books. they were released in america and epic did a much better job of translating them into english than the movie guys did-- even added color! the movie has huge cuts in the plotline that the comics help to clear up.
and finally, may i just say that there is no "mecha battle scene" out there that can come close to the fleshmonster at the end of akira. i mean, he envelops his girlfriend!!! how sweet is that?

nothing is going to change. if you had the moxy to go out and make another "troops" then you could very easily post it on your very own website and if it turns out that people like it, it'll be bigger than anything on lucas' "official" website. the only difference these days is that star wars parodies will be easier to find and lucas will be making a little bank (he's trying to make up for everything he lost in the jar jar merchandising flop).
so do everybody a favor and shut up. george lucas making money isn't going to crush the open source movement.
i'm all about offending everybody i can with every website i make. so i've never worried about that. as for actually breaking copyright laws, etc. i suggest you just make it clear every chance you get that you aren't doing anything wrong, and if you are, you didn't mean to. just do like i do and throw a big paragraph in somewhere that says
not responsible for anything. everything is copyright 2000 by its respective copyrighters and i asked for permission to put it here. if anything here bothers you please write me an email about it before you sue me. if you are under the age of 18, or 21, please follow
this link. everything is copyright 2000 by its respective copyrighters and i asked for permission to put it here. i am not responsible for any harm this website causes you, your family, your pets, your self-esteem, your cadillac, the world, the universe, or the afterlife. second-hand smoke is a carcinogen, and i'm not responsible for that either. if you've read this far into my disclaimer, fuck off you ninny
basically, all you have to do is think of every single contingency before the other guy does, and then put up a disclaimer about it. as for copyright, ah who cares?! like anybody would ever sue someone else over copyright laws anyways! copyright's as dead as moral behavior.
hell yes! that's what i've been saying all along! everything's legal in nevada!
although, i must admit, i think texas might be a better choice. after all, texans consider their state to be its own autonomous country (lonestar, anyone? it's the "national beer" of texas) so if anybody messes with your company, you can amass an e-militia and blow their ass right off their T3!!! whoo!
but, if i may, i'd like to enter a plea to all californian internet companies: please don't bring your wares up to oregon. please. washington is only a little further north, and it's just a hotbed for silicon junkies. the choice is clear.
Has George Lucas been smoking crack lately?
Evidence:
* Jar-Jar Binks
* Samuel Jackson
far better evidence than either of those is that beard of his-- he could be a stunt double for one of those bear-creatures on hoth, man! the guy is off the wall!
but the point of this post (what?) is to point out what i'm sure was an honest mistake-- you seem to have listed samuel jackson in the "case for Lucas on crack". now, maybe you meant to type:
* Fact that Samuel Jackson didn't just go whup darth maul's raggedy ass himself
...?
for ep1, sam jackson's sitting in a room with a bunch of puppets dude. give him a break. once he's got a lightsaber in his hands and he's cutting down clones you'll understand that Lucas has obviously been taking acid with old sammy! watching mace "your ass ain't talking your way out of this" windu kick ass in ep2 is going to be soooooo trippy, dude. yeah.
But seriously, why do customers have to put up with this kind of crap at all? Doesn't it seem like Microsoft should have such a bad rep by now that folks would go in armed to the teeth with support from other small fish and some good business lawyers?
if that method of reasoning were correct, bill gates would have been drawn and quartered when microsoft released windows 3.1!!!
seriously, the public is stupid, bill gates is smart, and he realizes how easy it is to prey on the weaknesses of others. like any good businessman, bill is simply engaging in a very high-end type of scam: it's what free trade is all about, you "fucking communist" (as one delightful coward put it).
i, for one, think that what we need is a public figure to stand up and lead a revolution against bill gates. preferably someone pretty stupid, like britney spears or the BS boys or something like that so all the other stupid people could relate to them. then, we could have them convince the stupid people of the world to all begin using better OS's, thereby increasing the surplus intelligence! woohoo!
open source is all about advancement! downloading mp3s is just like making a long-distance call over the internet: technology is advancing, and our business practices will have to advance too. it's sad but true that some people will get fucked in the process but at least this time it's high-level executives and not dark-skinned natives.
probably the reason you haven't yet seen a list is because nobody could possibly single-handedly compile one; there are so many independent labels out there in garages and basements that to actually compile a comprehensive list would be insanity.
i think a good idea would be to set up some sort of site that the record labels themselves could use to proclaim their lack of affiliation with the riaa... however, that could lead to a lot of serious effort too. i dunno.
they both need to be mocked. i like using napster, but i find the majority of other users of napster to be totally moronic. when they discover you don't have any Eminem mp3s in your library they cuss you out and start flaming away... how pleasant.
my point is this: napster is a service that could be useful if 1) there weren't so many greedy bastards in the world and 2) there weren't so many stupid people in the world.
as you probably noticed, i think that napster suffers from many of the ails that plague the rest of the world, too. kudos to napster for resisting it, at least.
what will people do once napster is shut down?!?! nobody will be able to get any mp3s! nobody will be able to say "backstreet boys are so gay" in chatrooms anymore! we won't have access to that incredible "discover new artists" service (which is what we all use napster for anyways). well, i guess the moral to this is: if you do illegal things, the government will track you down and take huge drastic measures to insure that the law-breaking STOPS!
this is like when we had that problem with everybody drinking alcohol. the government stepped in and made drinking illegal, and it solved all our problems. nobody drank, nobody beat their kids and nobody unwound after work. let's hope shutting down napster is equally as successful!
i, for one, don't give a shit about cheating because whenever someone i'm playing is cheating, i can walk over to their computer and kick them in the good 'n plentys. let me explain:
internet multiplay is crap! stop doing it! everybody cheats, we know this. you don't know the people you're playing against (this, i'm sure, is not true in many cases, but i'm generalizing) so what fun is it to win? basically, all that internet play does is foster agressiveness and competitiveness in people-- two things i personally can live without. internet play is also difficult for modem users who are up against HPBs all the time.. gosh, what fun!
the solution is, get some friends together and start having LAN parties. start playing with people you know. multiplayer games are so much more fun when you get to talk about it afterwards over a beer or a mountain dew or whatever the hell you want to drink: "dude, that one part where you bounced off my rocket over the lava and onto jimmy's head was RAD!" "yeah, rad". i know, sounds lame, but you all know it's fun.
basically, i'm giving a call to gamers to quit being lazy sax of shznit and start organizing LAN parties in your town: they kick ass, and you could probably use the socializing (if you're anything like the hermits i normally party with)!
the fact is, these things are going to continue happening until finally something comes along that causes outlook to format the hard drives of everybody who uses it. a shame, to be sure, that all those people will lose so much information but hey that's what you get for using outlook. or eudora. or whatever else you use. bottom line: stop worrying about viruses and accept that someday you will probably be the victim of one, and just hope that day doesn't come too soon (or hope you're smart enough to avoid it... either way, not much you can do).
having pretty horrible vision myself, this surgery all sounds very interesting. my optomitrest recently commented that my eyesight was getting worse more quickly than anyone's he'd ever seen before-- this bothered me. so what i'm left to wonder is, how much will this damned surgery cost? because i'm sure my insurance will find a way around paying for it... and when that happens, will only the very rich be able to afford good eyesight???
i feel as if right now i am at a defecit to the seeing population of the world... what happens when the rich people are the only ones who can afford to "fix" their bodies so they function properly???
the difference between our pals over at napster and the nards over at the Offspring camp is that what napster does it does with style: they don't just grab mp3s and sell them to people, they provide a conduit for other individuals to trade software. if the Offspring had been a little more clever and a lot less blatant with their "sell someone else's copyright" scheme, napster would not have been forced to bring legal action against them (thereby making the people at napster seem like the bad guys... which, as my mp3 collection can attest, they certainly are not).
if napster was selling Offspring t-shirts then there would be some possibility of comparison. as of now, napster's not doing that. the Offspring should be distributing mp3s made by Napster, inc. instead of selling t-shirts.
the overfiend series are only worth watching if you cannot satisfy your sick sexual cravings otherwise. there are plenty of stories out there with much more interesting plotlines and much more hardcore violence and much better animation, but not many can compete with the disgusting sexual content of this series. a machine that rapes 6 women at once (or was it eight?)... what the hell?
the ramifications of sex with demons? there are no ramifactions because demons don't exist!!!
now, i know i've come across as simply bashing the flick, but i respect john's opinion and am offering a counter-argument. my favorite anime is akira, with battle angel a close second. urutsokidoji is what you watch if you are:
a lame-ass who is simply trying to show off how perverted you are to your friends - "check this movie out guys, it's SOOO fucked, i love it, aren't i SOOO fucked, don't you view me with some sort of new respect now?"
actually a sicko pervert - *sloshing noises*
some frat-brat wannabes who sit around giggling at bad anime and drinking pabst - "ooh!!! duuuude! sweeeet!"
someone who read a review of it written by one of the preceding and was misled into thinking it wouldn't be a waste of your time. - "wow. more rape and death. how novel."
whether or not it actually affects the business practices of microsoft, the DOJ splitting up the company into smaller pieces makes for a couple very good things:
clear message sent to microsoft, and a clear precedent set for future microsofts
we all get to see whether or not it works, so we can decide if we want to use it next time
america, indeed the world, laughs in unison as bill gate's face slowly reddens to a deep maroon.
it might actually be a positive outcome.
the thing is, nobody expects IE to suddenly become incompatible with windows... but anything that gives other browsers a helping hand is welcome, i say.
