The surviving historicals are actually quite entertaining, but if I remember my Who history right, they were sort of tacked on to the early series to give it "educational value".
The Sci-Fi channel could do a good job with something like Dragonlance because it's really pretty simplistic. The channel sucks at complexity and subtlety, which is why Riverworld was no damn good, and Earthsea probably won't be. I wouldn't want to see Sci-Fi's Book of the Long Sun either.
How about a defraction grid one image of which is Greedo shooting first (the other would be Han firing back in self defense, while being cheered on by a crowd of ewoks and gungans)? Also, the box could have a little sound chip that continuous plays whatever replaced the Yub-Yub song at the end of Return of the Jedi...
Being the most gullibile company ever incorporated.
Couldn't they take SCO to the cleaners if/when SCO loses and this "license" is proven not to be a requirement? Might be a nice short term investment...
Of course, of course, of course the anime will feel more dynamic than the manga. It is moving while manga is a series of static frames.
Compare Love Hina the manga with Love Hina the anime for an example of a manga that conveys movement and kinetic excitement better than the (rather staid and plodding) anime. So mostly right, but not always.
Why yes, I did drink a big glass of pedant this morning.
one can hardly take the Urusei Yatsura movie to be representative of his work.
Oshii directed sizable chunks of the long running UY TV series as well, and it is my favorite of all his works (possibly my favorite anime series). So yeah UY is a quality representation of Oshii's quality work.
Out here in East Podunkistan we don't have a "boutique" video store. Hell, we don't even have a full size Blockbuster. Thank goodness for GreenCine.

Ayn Rand has some interesting ideas. Of course, so did Gladkov. The problem is that they're both laughably shitty writers who stylistically have much in common. Atlas Shrugged is basically written in the excrutiating "Socialist Realism" style, just not being used to espouse socialism/communism.
So while Buddhism may comfortably live alongside science, compared with other religions, it does not actively participate in developing it.
I may be ignorant here, but isn't Japan a primarily Buddhist country? They seem pretty scientifically aware. Of course, saying Japan is a Buddhist country is like saying the US is a Christian country: both societies are redominantly secular (or at least secular enough for science to advance).

For those of you outside the US...
,Montel, Rikki: these have all aired in the UK (OZ, NZ and SA too, I think).
Actually the US daytime talk show evil has spread. Oprah, Springer
But what about the booth babes? Won't somebody think of the booth babes?

Second that. Their "Got Anime" extra discount program pays for itself quickly (if, like me, you have a serious anime problem).

some reject from an experiment in raising children entirely within the confines of Disney World?
Cory Doctorow?

Even the anime design shouts "Mamoru Oshii team" all over it.
I saw no flying alien princesses in tiger stripe bikinis delivering electric shocks to overly hormonal high school boys...
Or am I too old school?
Dub was being worked on back in October. Maybe out around April, when Porco Rosso is supposedly coming out too (source).
Actually it's worse: in the version coming to DVD Greedo shoots first, kills Han, and takes over his role for the rest of the series.
If not for one of those snots we wouldn't have much Kafka to read. Sometimes going against an author's wishes is the right thing to do. Sometimes.
It was sorta, at one point. been wandering in the wilderness since "Fire & Rain" and was rendered unreadable by Kitten II.
I think it is not rad at all that I have seen no references to Achewood yet. WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?
Amen. Infocom's Trinity had the best ending of any game ever.
This thing is going to crash and burn so hard that it's in danger of igniting the atmosphere.
And this will coincidentally be available at ThinkGeek when?

Near the bottom, a yummy Lum.
Or go to Bookfinder.com, a meta-search whose list of booksellers includes ABE.
There actually a Spielberg quote on the DVD case if memory serves (at work, can't check).
