Things I wish people would learn
 
This rant is going to be about television
Number One: For No reason should a marathon go on for more than 2 hours. People get sick of even the best shows after repeated viewings, so give some other lesser known shows a chance.
Number 2: Everyone has their job. This may seem weird, but how many times do you see teachers being lawyers, people trying to sing etc. Drew Carrey, you are an actor not a tony award winner, so enough with the musicals. That goes double for anyone on Boston Public,Dammit!
Number 3: If you advertise yourself as a drama, don't just get a grip on reality, get a stranglehold! I am sick and tired of supposedly dramatic shows doing things that would never occur in the real world. And for people who say it s just a show, you gotta suspend belief and break all the rules, I say SCREW THAT! Most dramas nowadays are like melodramatic Bugs Bunny cartoons and its not funny nor entertaining.
4 Do not use successful shows to plug holes in your sorry assed schedules. Keep the show in its time slot. No show should be shown more than 2 or 3 times a day if you aren't a major network, no show should be shown more than 8 or 9 times a week on a major network.
Don't cancell good shows simply because you want to show the ratings gorrila ninety times a week. If you back off you can give cool shows exposure and posibly make them famous and you can keep fans watching your more successful series. Always leave them wanting more!

Iron Giant is an excellent animated film.

Granted, it has its cheesy moments, but I still love it.

I love the giant's innocent and Naive personality.

He really tugged on my heart strings during a few scenes.

Excellent, excellent movie.
Of course, it's all a matter of opinion.

Come On! The only good part is when the giant turns into a giant gun!

Yes, and I suppose the only good part of schindler's list was when people were killed, right?:rolleyes:

*sighs and walks away*

although I know comparing schindler's list and the iron giant was a bit of a mistake, it was the first thing to came to mind, so deal with it.
