Bio D

The first and third movies are alright, with the former suffering from animation the most and the latter from compression in the first half. They're worth watching, but nothing special. The second movie is absolutely brilliant. It nails the promise of a Golden Age so perfectly that you anticipate the inevitable turning point with with equal parts dread and excitement.

Yo Andrew, happy birthday!

A toast to supportive parents! *ching ching*

Yo yo, good to see you again.

"Worst movie"? Even if it hadn't been good, that's such a myopic view of quality from a major publication that I'm completely baffeled. At worst it was competently made, which already disqualifies it and... *ahem* Yes, this was my favorite movie of last year, even with stiff competition from Looper and Django Unchained. I wish more movies were this ambitious and positive. BTW, I recommend Film Crit Hulk's essay on this movie.

Onarax beat me to the Mazinger joke. Anyone who thinks that Pacific Rim is an Eva rip off watched Eva while half asleep, brain damaged, and stopped after the DDR episode.

Not sure what you're talking about, Wanderer. SAO only had 15 episodes.

I thought the twist was great but it did mean there was a great big hole where a compelling villain should be. This is not a new problem with Iron Man.

The second opening is my favorite (the full version has a sax solo~). That doesn't matter though becasue the first episode of Attack on Titan is amazing and all of you should be watching it.

Major respect for even attempting this monstrosity. I quite like the harmonies.

I would be more excited for Patlabor in SRW if any of the games past Judgement ever saw English translations. I gave up on Robotics;Notes far later than I should have, around episode 15. Waaay too much time spent hoping turn around for the better while hanging around to watch characters I didn't care for do things I cared even less about. As for Gundam, 00 starts good and gets better in the second season, while Unicorn is really good if you can stomach all of the ideological drivvle. I'm watching the first series too. I was surprised at how good it was getting after episode 4 and then ten episodes later it hit the Whiny Protagonist wall I was afraid it would hit. Here's hoping it gets better~ Don't get me started on EVOL. Just. Don't.

Call me when the new Daft Punk album shows up.

The polyphonic harmony in Brass Goggles is blissful.

*Laughs at footnote* Hey, it's your money. If you enjoy it, good for you. I had the same problem, but after a few seconds Shepard always teleported to the bottom.

I thought I made it very clear how far you should stay from Leviathan. Buy the rest at your own discretion/peril.

Huzzah for matriarchal fortitude! Glad to hear she's improving!

Congratulations! Szechuan was the correct answer!

I've seen your library, man. You have like a billion already. Happy birthday anyway!

In these hard economic times, doctors need to be kept in business. The Renegade option is the tough love we need.

TWO IT SHALL BE, FOR THREE IS BEYOND THE GRASP OF YOUR MORTAL FRAILTY!

Hey man, lay off the spaghetti. I appreciate my bolognese with a penne or a bowtie, but sometimes you just want to lady and the tramp it up. I'd send some resplendant recipation, but it seems to be you got this whole cooking gig down pat. What you need is a baker. Andrew... I am that baker. P.S. Cilantro is a horrid herb that needs to ashamedly excuse itself from my favorite cuisines forever.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you; I was too busy making BACON BROWNIES.

I can't believe no one beat me to this: ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

Mummification applies to certain methods of preserving the body, so you don't need to be Egyptian to apply. Yes, mummies are the silver foxes among zombies.

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE SHEP ALL THE WAY, HOLMES!
