Haha, does seem to be one of those spark points. I really need to get up to date with Wild, Madagascar, Over the Hedge and others so I can start spewing vitriol one way or the other.

Scanned over some of the titles and it appears some are also included in this collection, though that one deals with short works only (review here ). Additionally, it looks like Zakka's extra features and audio are much, much better -- as concerned about archival as it is about presentation and cont...

Oh ... my. It's a Pokemon MMO: http://pokeglobal.org/ I don't know what's more surprising-- the fact it exists or that Nintendo hasn't done it yet. And while it's on my mind, it's probably worth referencing again this ol' Escapist article for the Pokemon apologists. The problem lies in the Tao of Pi...

It definitely has heart going for it. The message is universal, extending far beyond any one conflict, and the style at first seems simplistic but the imagery wins out as the feature runs its course (visuals reminded me a lot of Nyócker, come to think of it).

Interesting conversation so far. But what does Bakshi's technique or quality matter when the real value of his work may be just that it exists?

It's based on Acker's 2004 Oscar nominated short of the same name and Burton is putting his name behind it so it has a dynamite shot of hitting the mainstream in full force.

For any PC gamers in our midst, Valve's Steam service is having a dynamite year-end sale on a truck load of games. Bioshock for $5, an id Software super pack for $34, and so much more: http://store.steampowered.com/holidaysale In other video game news, I got back in the old swing of things towards t...

Hoodwinked actually elicited some pretty good laughs from our group, and that's usually enough to keep something out of a bottom-of-the-barrel "Worst" list for me.

And Prince of Egypt? Truly among the worst stuff one can see? Oooooo-kay...

I guess there goes the "exploring venus" joke...

Oh dear.

Ben, that summation of yours just destroyed the last iota of good will I had towards the Academy...
