Forgiveness . . . . . or Not

Hello everyone. I've decided to move on from the atrocity that is the Loonatics. But first:

Perusing through a recent Animation Magazine, I came across an ad for Loonatics Unleashed and to my dismay it looked worse. It hurt even more when I found out that the changes to the already horrible idea of it all were made because of an online petition! As a small review of how bad it looks I offer the following pictures:

The original design.

The new design.

Loonatics with jetpacks. Rev Runner doesn't need one. Wow.

Buzz Bunny, oh I'm sorry, Ace Bunny fighting off some mecha creature with a sword/beating stick; I have no idea.

Exactly.

Staying angry at humanity's bad decisions isn't healthy, so I'm gonna focus on something more positive. Now that I'm back, you can have your regular dose of unnecessary news from my little corner of INTERNET. I wish I went to MIT.

It's Back!

An Inkling of Creativity

A small amount of creativity returns, but quickly retreats into the black hole that is Warner Brothers. First they botch up "Iron Giant" and now this. I am still mourning the debauchery of the Looney Tunes franchise. Hopefully creativity will return to me and I will post something new. For now, this should hold you off.

Huh? What?

Creativity is Nowhere to be Seen

Today is a sad day folks. All creativity has shrunk into nothing. It imploded. Since people these days just want to regurgitate great ideas from the past, the star called creativity has faded away. What may I speak of? The Loonatics. I'm sorry Mr. Chuck Jones, I will hunt down the ones responsible for this travesty for you. So who's with me? My friend described this move by Kids WB very nicely. I shall quote him:

"Apparently, in the future, all furry animals will evolve into more pointy versions of their ancestors. Eyeballs will become obsolete and will be updated with an easier to draw version. And everyone will always have an angry face when appearing in front of press cameras. So it is written in the dumbass studio executive handbook."

Couldn't have said it better myself. Apparently this version of the Looney Tunes will feature all of the characters as superheroes in the year 2772. No more clever antics and loveable characters people. The action figures have already been made and tested in front of children. When will money stop driving our creativity? Today is a very very sad day.

I'm sure you already know, but did I mention how rabidly crazy these star wars fans get?

New Classics

This week of INTERNET has been really interesting to say the least. Searching for movies to watch at the local thee-ay-ter -as Tobias would say- I found out that there are a lot of movies that I have to see while they're still out in theatres. Here's the drum roll worthy list: Sideways, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Finding Neverland, In Good Company, Closer, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Spanglish, Beyond the Sea and Million Dollar Baby. Now that's a lot of movies and I don't want to miss them like I did with Ray, so if any of you out there want to see any of the above contact me, you know how.

This discovery spurred on a need for films and the realization that I haven't seen many good ones, especially ones that are featured on "top 100 movies" lists, which in turn resulted in a subscription to Netflix. The first thing I rent: Singin' in the Rain. Yea, yea I know I should of watched the film a long time ago and I can't be proud that finally watching the movie was influenced by this awesome awesome commercial. But I'm glad that I saw the original version because it really is very well made. Everything works so well; it definitely deserves its high placement on the AFI's top 100 list. Wonderfully surprised by the 50's classic I hunger for more, which brings me back to watching the movies listed above. See, life is a huge cycle; some might call it the circle of life, my life at least.

Now you can't talk about the good without talking about the bad. One that will not make the top 100 or maybe even the top 500 or 1000 is Star Wars: something or other it's the third movie. Now I know you all have heard someone rant about how bad it's going to be and I'm sure you should feel the same way, but you never know. I certainly am not keeping my hopes up.

Oh, and watch Arrested Development.

The Return of the King

What's up INTERNET folk. That's right, I'm comin' back to the good 'ol NYC. The return of the king baby. Seriously though, why didn't that happen in Lord of the Rings. Even if Gandalf couldn't carry the ring, Frodo coulda gone with him. That's messed up. My brain is still trying to find out how destroying the ring this way would fail. If anyone can come up with a reason this didn't happen, please, by all means comment below.

Onto less crazier things no? This week INTERNET scared me.

If all that ain't enough, go read a comic or something. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Reese's Mashed Potatoes Cup.

A News Comeback

What's up y'all. It's been a good week since getting back from Korea and I think I'm back to my usual self jet lag and all. I've been back from Korea for a good week now only to discover and regret. Searching INTERNET like any other day, I came across a Samsung product that I just absolutely need. They've made a motion sensor phone. Yea. You wave the phone around and it dials someone's phone number for you, you draw an "X" in the air and you hang up, and if you draw an "O" you accept a call. Not only that but it also makes tambourine noises if shaken wildly. Abbreviation will not suffice: What The Fuck. A Samsung representative said “the newest model applies new methods of communication that rely on the expression of human nature and emotions.” I don't know about you but I don't think I want to rely on my "human nature" or "emotions" to dial phone numbers. If I think someone's an ass and I have to draw an ass in the air to call that person I'd feel pretty stupid. Wait a minute that sounds pretty cool.

Anyways in other news, Japanese company Neutral KK has created the first ever super toaster. Not only does it toast bread it cuts it too! The should call it a toslicer. Wait a second. Oh man you don't know how many times I had to cut the loaves of bread I make in the back before I could have toast. Thank God you exist Neutral KK for inventing this piece of machinery. And it only costs ten thousand dollars! I'm sold.

And for all of you out there looking for a gift for that special someone on Valentine's Day, consider this.

Korean English

So I'm back from Korea and I must say that it's nice to be back. Ah, it's only been a couple days and already I really miss the good times I had in that far away country. While I was there I:

tasted a pretty fresh burger,


saw a teenie weenie,


met mr. big,


found out what a fish paste bar is,


drank a sexy cup of coffee,


learned that Wayne's World lives on,


experienced a hair fantagy is,


met special forces santa,




saw chicken people at Calvin Klein,


and visited Chai's restaurant.


So I saw a lot of interesting things and now I'm back, so expect more posts, ramblings, and funny links in your future. After all, I've seen the future.
