The series has been mostly enjoyable so far. With people like Greg Weisman from Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-man in the helm (sadly he's only contributing story for Season 1; he can't seem to break his 2-season curse), one can see the story progressing bit by bit as we slowly learn more about th...

Well, I wasn't referring to classical musical - I was referring to the bubble-gummy music of the Andrews Sisters, The Chordettes, etc. I have some very throwback (read:hippy) friends with eclectic tastes in music and open, receptive personalities but they often ask me to turn off "Mr. Sandman,...

Thanks for the info. I've been following this project for a while, and it does seem quite interesting. I won't keep my expectations high on Wreck-It Ralph, but I'm sure it'll nevertheless end up being an enjoyable film. There weren't comedians in the same vein as today. What was considered offensive...

*UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD* I have to say I’m still confused by the Terra/Xehanort storyline, just because at some point they’re taken by the darkness (leading to the Ansem-Heartless-wannabe from the first game and the Nobody-cares-about-Xemnas from KH2), and I don’t know how Terra could survive that...

I'm not too concerned about the racial changes or whether the martial arts that is depicted in the film is this or that. As long as the actors do a good job, the plot keeps the basics of the series and cinematography works, I'll certainly enjoy it. The series turned out to be surprisingly good despi...

That's an interesting trailer. I'm not happy about some of the written stuff like "grounded forever" or the pop song and I would've liked to see a more traditional trailer approach but for the most part the trailer's enjoyable. It'll be interesting to hear more news about the film in the f...

Thanks for sharing the link, jpanimation; it's quite a fascinating read. Although the original screenplay of Sinbad sounds very nice, I actually liked the version I saw in theatres too. So despite whatever executive meddling the film had, its heart was still there and it's still one of the best and ...

It'd be awesome if Disney decided to release a complete score + the most significant alternate songs etc. in one complete soundtrack. Beauty and the Beast is among their most beloved musicals and not only because of the songs but because of Menken's exceptional score (it really is amazing how better...

I recently finished reading Luova mieli (A Creative Mind) by Claes Andersson, and I'm currently reading through Six Memos for the Next Millennium by Italo Calvino.

I've been playing Super Mario 64. It's a surprisingly fun game which looks quite pretty even by today's standards. The levels have nice nuances, and quite many of the missions are challenging (especially that awful timed mission combined with a precise wall kick and a vanish cap in the haunted mansi...

I've seen Avatar, and here are my thoughts: UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD! The film turned out to be better than I expected. The plot and characters, despite their flaws, actually pulled me into the film's world. I do think the characters could've been developed more (both Na'vi and humans) but what I saw...

I'm disappointed in the title change but as long as the rest of the movie is enjoyable, I'm willing to let it pass. However, it's unfortunate because Rapunzel is a classy and memorable title. In terms of quantity TPatF got standard marketing: previews, theme park promotions, etc but I think the qual...

I'll tell you, though, the more I think back on it, I think I might have liked Blood+ slightly more, in some ways. Eureka 7 was more beautiful in some ways, but I think that Blood+ was easier to follow and still a very lovely plot (despite some very.... gruesome and disturbing bits). Did you follow...

Well, I've watched quite a few anime series so far although I've still got many more waiting for me. I've enjoyed watching anime, and many of the series are beautiful to look at, listen to, and think about. As for Ghibli movies, I've enjoyed the ones I've seen although there are still a few I need t...

The Long Good-bye by Raymond Chandler. I heard this was a good hard-boiled detective book but I never expected it to turn out this great. The characters are wonderfully complex and develop as the story goes on, the plot begins in relatively simple terms but becomes more and more complex as more sur...

StarCraft II. I've been waiting for over 10 years for this sequel, and soon that dream will come true. All the previews seem to point out that SC2 will turn out to be an even bigger phenomenon than the original SC was, and I can't wait to play it.

That's nice. Up is definitely a worthy pick, and I'm especially happy to see Michael Giacchino's beautiful score win (although the other nominees were a fine bunch too). :) Also, here's a clip with Giacchino who is hilarious as always: <object width="425" height="344"><param name...

LJ has been a great site, and it's nice to see that others around here have LJ accounts as well.

We have lots of Disney comics here in Finland (e.g. a weekly Donald Duck comic, monthly Scrooge McDuck and Donald Duck pocket comic books, annual hardcover comics for such artists as Floyd Gottfredson, Romano Scarpa, Carl Barks, Don Rosa etc.), and I've been collecting and reading them for a long ti...

I finished Lufia II recently and am now playing Final Fantasy V (the SNES version).
