If you're looking for realistic character design, it ain't gonna happen. I'm sure this thing will be closer to Samurai Jack than Dexter, but it's not gonna be like Disney or something. It's cable, they've got the money for either movement or detail. You can have pretty Luke and Han repeating a 4 frame run animation with repeating bulkheads behind them, or you can loose a finger and cheekbone definition and have them do something cool. I think Jack, despite the square finger thing, gets a lot closer to human movement than the Shaggy Trot(TM). I like Jack's design, personally. He's got enough detail to be capable of subtle (beyond happy/sad) expressions, but not so much that emotion become prohibitively expensive.
And since when have critics wasted time reviewing cable cartoon shows? The closest I've seen is the TV Guide having a picture of triangular Superman torso with the caption "Superman hits shit! WB! 2:30PM!"
Harry Potter has far more visually disturbing things if anything because it's live action.
This isn't really your point, but Cinderella was the first movie I saw that ever really scared me. Like the dancing scene with the prince. That scared the bajesus out of me. Apparently Disney did parts of that by tracing live action film to get the movement right, which makes it incredibly creepy looking, at least to me. They looked like ghosts or something. Gave me nightmares about my family walking around like fucked-up cartoons.
And it's not like I was just a scared kid, I saw Jaws before that and just thought it was cool. This was when I was 4 or something, I think.
Holy shit, he's a fucking gov't supporter! Burn his fucking civilized ass! Jesus fucking Christ. I'm sorry you feel it's just so terribly fucking fascist to try and maintain reasonable competition in one of your country's major industries.
It doesn't fucking matter if they haven't hired assassins to shoot at you personally yet, they're still the dominating force in an industry the livelihoods of millions of people depend on. They don't have to be wrong. They're a publicly held company, which means it makes decisions based on the extracted greed of 100 million stockholders. It's called thinking when you try and steer them so that they don't end up in a situation where it's likely those decisions would be bad for your fucking citizens.
There's a reason it's called a remedy and not a punishment. They weren't punishing IBM or Standard fucking Oil, they were trying to keep industries from going to fucking shit on a waterslide. One of the "gov't" jobs is to keep your ass happy. That's why they pay some fucking attention to the companies the country runs off of. Wheather you like it or not, MS runs battleships. MS runs 90% of the computers our economy is based on. Just like IBM did. Just like Bell did with phones, and just like fucking Standard Oil did with the fucking oil that keeps Wisconsin from freezing to death between September and May. It's called being a fucking moron when you just ignore a company that could theoretically trigger a fucking recession all on it's own, whether people like their products or not.
The "republics" revealed themselves in this message, sent to Dan Rather in an envelope filled with a sticky substance that may be some sort of biological weapon.
WE ARE THE REPUBLICS
ONE LAW WILL SUCK IT EVERY HOUR UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET YOU CAN NOT STOP US ALL YOUR CONGRESS WILL SOON BELONG TO US ARE YOU AFRAID? YOU WILL ALL SUCK IT!
Chilling words. There are no leads on the republics at this time, but it's rumored the goatse guy may be involved.
Both your intended point and you're inadvertent point are big problems. The same people that don't finish off their antibiotic runs go off and badger their doctors for antibiotics to cure their flu or whatever, since the pills kill germs, right?!!
Oh my fucking God I got bit by a fucking mosquito and now it's like I have the flu! Holy shit! If I were old enough that the flu would kill me, I might suffer from a general feeling of weakness, and headaches, and if I didn't go to a doctor for about a month, I could die! Holy fuck! I demand the government spray DDT down the throats of my children this instant!
Yeah, 10 or 20% ignorance is probably about right. Not everybody watches every review or ad or trailer. A lot of people just saw LotR because somebody told them to. If that person didn't explain anything, they might not have a clue.
I mean, this girl I saw Spiderman with had been thinking it was a parody of Batman (Austin Powers -> James Bond) until she complained that it wasn't funny about a half-hour in. (she liked it better as a kinda crappy comic book movie than as a really crappy parody) It's not like she's been locked in her basement her entire life, she just never came across the subject of Spiderman.
I know I've had things like that happen to me, like how I didn't see The Matrix until 6 months after it came out on video. It happens. It's not like people are stupid, it's just that there's only so much pop-culture you can retain. People might not know The Ring is a remake, that LotR is a trilogy. At least tell them instead of assuming they know already. If nobody had explained to me that The Matrix had 133t kung-fu sk1llz, I probably would've ignored it as a 13th Floor ripoff for another year.
Seriously? Then why'd they leave in Galadriel showing Frodo the Shire in the bowl thing? Before I saw that, I was kinda expecting the Shire bit to get cut, but that sorta makes a connection necessary. Or at least I thought so. Whatever. I guess they're taking the Star Wars prequel route and hoping everybody forgets the other movies and don't notice any of the inconsistencies. Nice work there.
That's a good idea! If you have one of those blue led keychain things, you can try out how well the mouse recognizes the color. Finally found a use for all these light-up keychains I buy at museum gift shops.
I already have one of those, l4m3r! My m4d l33t d0g chewed on my monitor cable so Slashdot glows blue! Just like my Dodge Neon Type-R's wheel-wells, j0.
Damn that's clever. It is, in fact, goatse. Normally, I don't trust AC's saying "It's goatse!" so I'm warning signed in. That's pretty damn good though. I caught it by reading the address when I hovered over, but you almost got me. If the url was a little more obscured, that would be totally inpenetrable.
Anybody know of a way to manualy enter a domain to block images from in Phoenix? Having to go there and right click the image to not have to see it again... it's like killing Hitler as a baby, only with gaping assholes. *shudder*
Isn't anime just a shortened version of "animeeshon"/"animation", cut down to make it refer to the film instead of the medium? "I made an anime" instead of "I made a film using animation". Maybe not though. Could be both too, for that matter.
Anime's just a marketing label, anyway. You call your thing anime if you want to target the anime fan base. I'm sure they make "animated films" to target artsy people in Japan too, just like whenever Disney tries to pretend they didn't make a cartoon. But "live action anime" definately doesn't work. It's a category, so just like any other, there's gonna be things you can easily tell are anime, and things that are more out there. Like the opening credits of the Cowboy Bebop movie. They're drawn hyper-realistically, not anime-styled at all, but they're drawn by a Japanese anime studio, so would a whole movie like that (besides costing about a bazillion dollars) be anime? I really don't care.
But quit putting the fruity accent on anime, please.

Do they actually do that anymore? The age of the kid doesn't matter when they decide to charge them as an adult, which is just the prosecutor's decision. I mean, there was that Supreme Court case where they decided it was ok to execute that 15 year old kid.
Nice work with the civilized response there. I was gonna go with "Fuck you, bitch. North Jersey knows where you live! Ass whore!" but I like yours better.

I don't know, that guy's DNA looks pretty unique to me...
Yeah, well, I'd probably be wishing for Bell Atlantic to show up too. Better chance of them getting it done than Verison.

No wonder the Russians lost the Cold War, their submarine fleet has no sense of perspective.
Ouch. Like the laser thing in the old Command and Conquer. *fwoom* "AIEEE!" *sizzle*

Oh, man, don't even provoke me with PA. A little bit of midwest, so close to home! And you want to dump the Flyers? Christ, man.
Yah, I'm out of material. Spent too much time in NJ, where all the insult you need for a place is to compare it to Pennsylvania.
Now, to get to Penn State, I turn off at the cornfield with the cow, right? Or was it the other cow...
This is the best story ever. I could blow a good hour just being the angry New Jerseyan here.
Ah, who am I kidding, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Oops, I spy a proud Pennsylvanian down there! Oh, where do I even start...
Nice work with the civilized response there. I was gonna go with "Fuck you, bitch. North Jersey knows where you live! Ass whore!" but I like yours better.
Damn South Jerseyans
