Happy Friday all! So, I haven't been posting much lately--we spent last weekend in Chicago (it was hot, humid, and then it rained...but we had lots of fun visiting family) and I've been busy with work and wedding stuff all this week.

But, I found a couple of interesting things that I wanted to share with you. So, remember Voltron: Defender of the ( Read more... )

As many of you know, I work with the media on a daily basis in RL. As I was walking through Comic-Con on Thursday, the first official day, I ran into a colleague from a local TV station. In talking to him about Comic-Con, he decided that I should be mic'ed and recorded ( Read more... )

Today started and ended with inappropriateness...From Shin Chan at 10:30 a.m. on, I felt like I was inside the mind of a pre-pubescent male.

( Shin Chan writers are HILARIOUS! )

If you're a fan of Ren & Stimpy (like me) and its creator, John Kricfalusi, then check out this funny little commercial for Comcast Triply Play...It bears his signature animation style and is very tongue-in-cheek. For once, I find myself enjoying a commercial instead of criticizing it...

Enjoy!

Then watch this video and tell me Rocky's not cute! My friend needed a dog to appear in a local TV segment...So, yup, you can watch my dog sit on a couch while a researcher talks about her dog-walking study...Just note that Rocky's panting because the studio lights are so damn hot...As you can imagine, he was a superstar that day and got LOTS of ( Read more... )

So, it looks like Transformers is coming back to TV, as Cartoon Network and Hasbro are teaming up to animate a new series that'll start in January '08. They're hoping to ride on the coattails of the new movie and its DVD release this fall.

And, for those of you who love NBC's Heroes as much as I do, get ready for their international tour! Looks like ( Read more... )

And as a season regular no less! Looks like Sylar is making a big-time comeback next season, as he's been contracted through all of S2 of Heroes. I pretty much hate Sylar (he's just SO evil XP), but it'll be interesting to see how the writers grow his character next season. So far, we've been given a little backstory on him and I think he's ( Read more... )

This looks like a busy movie-watching weekend for me-- there's Paprika, which FINALLY opens in San Diego this weekend, the new Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron flick is out on DVD this week, and the premiere of Robot Chicken: Star Wars on [adult swim] on Sunday night...

( My nerdy excitement...and why sunshine is overrated )

Looks like someone's trying to compete directly with Cartoon Network's [adult swim]-- the Sci-Fi Channel announced it's starting a two-hour block of anime programming on Monday nights called Ani-Monday. Last night (11 p.m. to be exact), they showed the U.S. premiere of Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society...I watched for about an hour, ( Read more... )

I am a huge fan of "Heroes" on NBC and I just read through an insightful interview with Masi Oka, who plays Hiro. Hiro is my favorite character on the show-- mostly for his humanity, his humor and his optimism.

And I now have one more thing to love about Hiro/Masi Oka-- he modeled the character on Trunks from Dragon Ball Z! DBZ was one of the first ( Read more... )
