I have been thinking about this. I have been thinking about why I was bored with Baccano! when so many people think it's great. I have noticed that if I have only ever seen a show dubbed it tends not to hold my interest at all. I often drop series that I have only seen dubbed because I don't like them or they don't interest me. It not just dubbed series. I dropped Mouretsu Pirates at episode 8 while it was still airing and was fansub only. It happens a whole lot with series I have only seen...

because French is sophistcated.

Another place I have seen little roadside memorials in Fresno is near bus stops on busy streets. Why you ask? You didn't ask? Well I am going to tell you anyway because otherwise this blog entry will be short and rather pointless.

People get hit walking out into traffic so they can look up the street and see if the bus is coming. They lose their lives doing this completely pointless and useless thing. The bus will get there when...

Near where my sister lives, there is a comple of apartment buildings. They front on to a busy North/South street. If you go North from the apartments you come to a well lit, controlled intersection with a small shopping center on the far side of it. From where the apartments are up to that intersection, the street is quite dark.

For years, I have been seeing little roadside memorials on that street a hundred feet or so South if the intersection. One will be there for a while....

Get the tar and feathers ready.

The remake of True Grit was better than the original in every way. Jeff bridges is a far better actor than John Wayne ever was.

Heath Ledger was better as The Joker than Jack Nicholson and Mark Hammill is better than either of them.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is better written, better animated, better scored, better acted and just plain better that the vast majority of anime.

Ditto Batman: The Animated Series...
