  • Review of Batman: Gotham Knight DVD

    Batman: Gotham Knight is out on DVD now. It is the latest animated feature from DC Comics. It is actually six mini movies all done (or should I so over done) in the anime / mango style. Just because anime is getting more popular doesn’t mean every thing needs to be produced in that style…

  • Buffy The Animated Series Mini Pilot Loose on the Net

    A few years ago I first wrote about the possibility of an animated version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer over at ScifiSlacker.com and much like the ill-fated animated Star Trek they teased me with as well was never to be. After fours year one gives up hope that anything will ever happen. The one day…

  • Comcast Is Taking Me For A Ride

    Comcast is so ticking me off again. They splash advertisements all over the place trying to get you to sign up for their triple play program (TV, internet and phone) by enticing you with a free gift. Last month it was a Wii, the month before that a TV this month it is a years…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized B9 Robot

    Even though this life-sized replica of the Lost In Space robot (also known as the B9 robot) is half the price of the Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet he is still $25,000 more than I have to spend on a giant toy. Although I would love to have him.  B9 is not just a…

  • Chinese Olympic Conspiracies

  • World Looks for Ages of Chinese Gymnasts

  • Are The Chinese Gymnasts Old Enough

    I really am not a big fan of sports and don’t watch the Olympics every night. I only catch bits and pieces when nothing else is on TV. But tonight we watched the very young Chinese girls do the uneven bars. I was amazed at how young these girls were. So much so that I…

  • Clone Wars – Is It Up To The Hype

    Well the reviews are starting to come in for the new Star Wars animated film and they are not all that great. Personally, I was none too impressed by the trailers. This animation is doing nothing for me. It looks like the video clips in the video games but not quite as good. Not sure…

  • Comcast DVR at It Again

    Well, I was hoping to be able to actually watch all the shows I had on my crappy Motorola DVR from Comcast before it finally died, but it does not look like I will be able to unless I do it quick. I got home tonight and it was doing that same lovely trick of…
