Thanks for giving us the skinny, Sparky!



Haven't read the issue, so I can't agree or disagree with your assessment. However, if you'll allow me to play devil's advocate...

Hi all:

Next Wedesday, the new issue of Cartoon Network Block Party goes on sale, featuring a tale of Foster-fueld fun! Here's the solicitation from DC Comics:

"It's...

Been going since the mid-nineties and plan to be in attendance this year, as well. Though wrangling a hotel room each year is getting nigh impossible to do. Only managed to snag a hotel 'bout a mile from...

Much love for Sam Raimi's Evil Dead flicks, my faves being ED II and Army of Darkness. The original Scream and Shaun of the Dead are a lot of fun, too.

[Jetbaby]

Really didn't expect to like this series as much as I did, but Glenn Murakami and crew did a great job reinterpreting this DCU with plenty of humor, anime homage and superheroic drama. So disappointed...

[Jetbaby]

Gotta throw my hat in with those who cited anything from the Parappa franchise - fun, hip-hoppy-poppy hits! FWIW, my handle's taken from a bit character from the game. "When Jet Baby flies, she flies...

Has anyone picked up issue #32 yet? Normally, I'd have purchased it by now, but I'm travelling on business.

Big ups for Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop. I also really liked the opening to Serial Experiments: lain and Escaflowne.

Actually, I thought his crumbling was rather in-keeping with his character. Here's why: this is a murderer who kills not with his own hands, but with his car - which implies that he's not one who likes...

Three cheers for mention of Parappa - 's where I get my handle from.

Also have a lot of love for Jet Set Radio & Space Channel 5. Can I get a W00t W00t?

Saw Grindhouse yesterday and thought it was a hysterical send-up of the 70's exploitation genre. Planet Terror was by turns horrifying and hilarious; IMHO, Fergie had the best cameo, ever!

Really? I always thought Phil Moy's PPG art was really great. But then, he wasn't doing a lot of work in the later issues, was he? Earlier issues in the run featured full-issue 22-page stories and more...

FWIW, "Chuy" is a fairly common hispanic name - hence the pun in naming the pup "Chuey" after 'chewing' on Eduardo's finger. Geddit?

[Jetbaby]

Lordy, but I love that parody - that whole episode, really. Such a great send-up of the Hollywood blockbuster machine. My three-year-old will bust that song out on occasion. It's tres cute.

300. Not exactly a fun-for-the-whole-family kinda film. Great battle scenes and gorgeous cinematography.

[Jetbaby]

Oooh, tough choices and some great games mentioned! In no particular order:

Parappa the Rapper
Jet Set Radio
Okami
Fatal Frame
Space Channel 5

[Jetbaby]

I thought it was terribly sweet and revelatory. What a great character study for Wilt; it's already been touched upon in "Where there's a Wilt...", but I love seeing how he's often the victim...

[Jetbaby]

Just a reminder that Cartoon Network Block Party #31 goes on sale next week, with another Foster's cover story. Hoopla!

[Jetbaby]

Three cheers for New Wave music! I was a huge Duran Duran fan in the eighties.

Other guilty pleasures include:

• "All-Star" by Smash Mouth
• talking or singing in 'Engrish';

Hate to be dense, but where are these shorts appearing?
