The results of my completely listlessly watching television, while often doing other things, till I fell asleep on the couch until I was woken around dawn:
Teen Titans continues to have great animated martial arts mixed with some lush fantastic elements - it seems like the animators really know their stuff when putting together the action scenes. Naruto has the same, and a wonderful setting based upon a culture entirely built around ninjas, but sitting through almost every other moment of the show is positively excruciating. FLCL...um...I had this show described to me once, and kind of scoffed at the (completely insane and psychedelic) idea of it. In a certain sense, like Tank Girl with an extra dose of mushrooms, and somewhat similar music. Roy Jones Jr was just plain disappointing in the fight they showed the other night (that was recorded on Oct 1). At first I was thinking he was pulling some sort of drunken boxing thing, but yeah no. He basically got beaten around without fighting back at all. And to think, he used to knock people out starting with his hands behind his back. Wrath of the Dragon God was in one sense surprisingly good, even and especially for being a Saturday night SciFi movie, but at the same time a bit disappointing, in the book-is-always-better-than-the-movie sense. I will note the quirky Adult Swim-style commercials for DnD that actually made me chuckle out loud, and the surprising number of herpes medication commercials. And what do kids think when they see parents-should-talk-to-kids-about-drugs commericals on the Cartoon Network? Also, To Have and Have Not, based on a novel by Hemingway and with a screenplay by Faulkner, with Bogart and Bacall starring, is well, well worth watching.
