I had read somewhere that dvd sales, and requests for further dvd releases went through the roof after the movie was broadcast, but I do also remember the marathon that ended with the last episode got enormous ratings for Cartoon Network. So, I guess it was pretty popular during it's run too. At any rate, it was great. I want Antonucci to make something new for fuck's sake. He's been quiet for too long.

I'd like him to take another crack at an adult cartoon, in the same vein as Lupo The Butcher or The Brothers Grunt.

The older E.E. n E seasons were brilliant, but the newest ones (the one which took place at school) didn't really make me laugh. And they rarely aired them anyway

See, I think the exact opposite. I think the first few seasons were struggling to find the right tone and audience appeal. The animation and character development was vastly improved in later seasons.

I thought they were very good, and felt like it was necessary to move them into the school year for the final season. It prepared them for one last summer adventure (the movie) in which their relationships with the other kids completely changes, making a fitting end to the series.

Personally I loved how they moved into the school but still kept the “no adults” rule going. It was absurd but it worked.

I especially loved the episode where Double D became the school bully through a series of completely arbitrary and coincidental mishaps.

Also

Maybe it was the translation. Many jokes could be missed that way. And some of the characters were redubbed by some very very lame voiceactors. I mean it. After (polish) reddubing you e.g. no longer had any idea what Jimmy is saying. Maybe I'll give it a second chance in original version.

Yeah, considering that you're only just getting into The Simpsons now, I'm going to take your every opinion regarding animated media with a grain of salt.

No problem. By the way, I'm mid-season4 right now

Home Movies is 1,000 times better than The Simpsons ever was. You should watch that.

Home Movies is fucking hysterical. I can see how it would be somewhat polarizing though, the humor is very dry and clever, and not everyone "gets" that.

I watched Flash Gordon... :)

So .... bad... yet so good... Soundtrack is great though.

The old black and white ones? I love those.

I think she means the movie. The one with the soundtrack by Queen.

I thought she meant Flesh Gordon.

I watched Roughnecks: The Starship Trooper Chronicles.

Pretty good little series, pity it had one of those cliffhanger endings, but I can live with it.

They made a series too?
Fuck, I've been out of the loop.

It actually aired way back in 1999-2000.

Fuckbears.

2 words. Breaking Bad. That is all.

I like Breaking Bad, but I don't think it's as good as a lot of other people do. I find it to be a bit contrived at times. Mad Men is consistently great, however.

Breaking Bad is pretty consistently great too, though there are some major plot holes that come up later in the series. But they do their best to work around those.

I've only seen the first two seasons of Mad Men, they're both pretty fantastic. Need the third.

Finally, I'm about halfway through season 1 of The Wire. Great show, things are finally starting to pick up and I'm actually starting to give a shit about the characters.

Season 2 is mostly considered a low point. It picks up again in season 3, and the 4th season is maybe the best seasons of television I've ever seen.

But only just so. It's still a fantastic piece of television and talks about a lot of things that cop shows seem to avoid, and serves as a sort of puzzle piece for the relationship characters in later seasons have between each other and 3rd parties that simply wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Seriously S2 is my favourite just because it's such a departure from the rest and it departs on a stinky-ass Baltimore police boat to arrive amid the suffocating lifestyle of Baltimore Stevedores. Also BRUTHA MUZOOOONE

Just watched the episode "One Arrest". Daaaaamn, shit is starting to get interesting. I reallly feel sympathy for James, and am starting to realize the complexities of the characters. I used to think they were all so generic, but they just take time to realize. And the way that dude got beaten in the interrogation room? Shit. I want to watch the next episode now, but it's three in the morning. Fuck it. Let's do this.

I saw Ghost Dad. It was pretty much Ghost Dad.

I also saw Kuroneko, which is a rad as hell Japanese ghost story cinema classic black and white Criterion movie. It's about the wife and mother of a soldier who are raped and burnt to death by bandits/opposing soldiers and go on to haunt the wood their hut was in. A year later the husband/son becomes a samurai after killing an important figure from the opposing forces and returns home to find his house charred and his family gone. He's tasked with eliminating the monster from the nearby woods, and then I basically stopped paying attention. Excellent movie, excellent cinematagrophy, excellent spooky Japanese ladies with drawn on eyebrows. See it.

I agree. It is still great television. And it's not my least favorite of the seasons. If I had to pick a season that I loved the least it would be five. And again, it's still great.

It's shit like this that makes me love Breaking Bad.



Minor spoilers, I guess.

Brokeback Mountain. What a phenomenal film and so heartbreaking at the end. How it lost to Crash is beyond me. Both the leading actors were fantastic and you get to see Anne Hatherway's bosoms, which is always a plus.

Isn't that the one about gay cowboys?

It's not about ponies. You wouldn't like it.

Yes indeedy. Although they both have wives and children throughout the majority of the film. So make of that what you will.

Doesn't that make them bisexual?

From what I've heard, they were living a lie or something. They have to go on with their lives pretending to be straight, and they havesecret love affairs every now and again, I'm not sure though. Isn't it something to do with camping?

No. No, it doesn't.

I have no idea. It seemed to me that both characters were going through the motions of straight 'normal' life but loved each other in secret.

I started watching Trailer Park Boys a couple days ago. Before, when people would post scenes from it I just never saw why it was funny. Random scenes don't do it justice. You have to steep yourself in the absurdity of it before the funny sinks in. I think the episode that got me hooked was the one where Julian accidentally convinces Ricky that he's gay by telling him if he doesn't marry his girlfriend people will think he is.
