I was exposed to "Azumanga Daioh" and ran away screaming from the room.
So, yes, I saw it.

"We've secretly replaced all of Zrath's icons with ones from Azumanga Daioh. Let's see if he notices."

Hmm. Seems like LJ doesn't allow you to submit a vote where you do not check any of the available options...

Oh! That does feel like a bit of a bug, yes. I should've included a "none of the above" option, but as I recall, you're not allowed to edit a poll, other than to adjust its security.

Yeah, you're not. :P Ah well, not a big deal... :)

I've never been quite sure how to rate Scott Bakula's Cats Don't Dance performance emotionally. He does a super job of voicing Danny, but Scott will always be Sam Beckett to me first and foremost, and I could never say CDD was better than Quantum Leap!

So, if I had to rate his career:
1. Quantum Leap
2. CDD
3. Enterprise (because he was crap in it after Series 1)

Ah, now I didn't really see much of QL, so while I knew of him and his work, CDD was the performance that really stood out for me. As a result, I was terribly disappointed to learn he never once broke out into song on Enterprise. ^_^

(Rather cool that he performed his own singing in CDD, too. Such a fun film! As you may've noticed from the style, the director's next production was The Emperor's New Groove)

I never watched the Emperor's New Groove or Kronk's New Groove. Last recent Disney film I watched and loved was Brother Bear 1, which was made by the studio that did Lilo and Stitch - Disney were going to insanely close that studio down because of their obsession with CG graphics and Pixar, but I dunno if they actually did in the end.

Ah, you might like ENG, if you enjoyed CDD - it's got that same vibrant energy throughout. (And a TF, which never hurts =:)

BB1 I was surprised didn't grab me, as I'm always one for transformations.. I think it was the writing, which just didn't really stand out. And while I'm fine with bears, they don't tug at my soul; something starring rabbits, on the other paw, probably would've had me in the cinema on opening day. ^_^ (Though I did actually leave it until the following week to see Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Yay! I do hope you saw that =:)

I've only seen The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert- A singularly wonderful experience :)

It was way too much fun. ^_^ I understand the (film festival? Premiere?).. special screening, anyway, at the Castro Theater was an outstanding success. ^_^

Well, I've seen Babe and Cats don't Dance from start to finish each a couple times. Babe was pretty cool since they did such a good job of making the real animals look like they were talking ( ... )

Babe certainly managed to get away with a surprisingly dark opening - I can't help but wonder how many kids left with a desire to turn vegetarian. ^_^ Some wonderful moments, like the farmer's dance, but it's that ending which stands out most for me - absolutely magnificent.

DD was a very odd film indeed - despite not having really lived that kind of life, many of the themes rung true nonetheless. I wound up watching it all in one go, which is unusual for me - I'm terrible for watching films with multiple breaks, at least when I'm on my own. The roomie settled back onto his PC meanwhile. ^_^

PT or AD I could help with, once I have some DVD-Rs again, assuming you're all set up for anime fansub viewing. (Typically 640x480 MPEG-4 video, MP3 audio, in AVI containers)

I think I've seen Harvey (so to speak), but it was ages ago. Being a bunny, I suppose I'm obliged to have a copy.. =:) James Stewart was on top form, as ever.

Well I have the VLC Media Player, and it seems to do just about everything. XD

I don't have a DVD-RW yet, for some reason it hasn't arrived in the mail. My dad managed to find one for cheap but I'm starting to wonder if they screwed up sending it, or if they're trying to scam us.

Usually I download anime via bittorrent. The latest bittorrent client is kinda funky though...
