Last night it was Alice in Wonderland (2010) ... first time viewing. Give it a 6/10. You could tell Burton kind of completed the switch of new ideas to just kind of painting by the numbers of what he thought Tim Burton was supposed to be. Also, my kids picked The Good Dinosaur. Give that one a 7.5/10. No real Disney villain to really make it memorable, but the ending did give you the feels.

I can't remember what part of Summer 2003 I joined as Josey. I think it was September but it could've been a couple of months earlier.

Sailor Moon Crystal with my 8 year old daughter.

Gaius. Dude got under my skin a few times but his novel length responses to every subject, no matter the significance, were overblown and unintentionally hilarious.

I was Josey when I registered on ASMB in 2003. I was Zoombubba for a bit then got tired of it and went for a placeholder that I currently use. For some reason gained a following of people who like to follow me around and state that I did that. I'm triggering I guess, even though I have a life and no idea what it's about.

He also likes to talk about his huge penis when he gets the chance.

My wife and I went to a matinee and saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last fall, that was my only adult movie trip since 2016 or something like that. Movies in general ... I usually take my kids to the $5 midday matinee of kid flicks the theatre runs during the summer. Will probably do it again this summer. I don't know if it was because I was a teen who went to the movies 1-2 times a week in the 90s but I just find the newer flicks too noisy, too cookie cutter and too fan servicey. I kind of liked going to the movies and watching Striptease one week and Independence Day the next and that being it instead of nonendings teasing the next sequel.

So, what leadership model will you use? Cool and disciplined TV series Captain Kirk or hot headed and order disobeying Movie Captain Kirk?

I prefer Death 'n' roll Entombed to Left Hand Path Entombed. Actually, I tried to like Left Hand Path Entombed and walked away bored.

To be fair, doesn't pretty much everything we have today start as wishful thinking? Trumpism started as wishful thinking with the far right decades before it manifested. The Great Society -- pretty much the same story but an earlier time frame. The Civil Rights movement was wishful thinking centuries before it happened. Putting a person on the moon just a fantasy for thousands of years. You never know what little bit of wishful thinking can turn into "something." Of course, that something may not manifest for a few hundred years but you can still put it out there and it makes it down the chain even though nobody will ever have an idea it came from you. We have no idea where the idea that "genocide is wrong" and "women are people too" came from, probably just some forgotten person mentioning it one day around someone that heard and told someone else and so on until it was eventually written and then eventually accepted and then eventually acted upon ... kind of like the chaos theory of a butterfly flapping its wings. Where is fucking Gaius? He'd be a novel into this right now arguing from whatever wing he decided to be at that point.

Alright wannabe policy makers and constitutional experts, lets see you flex. Misinformation - Incorrect or misleading information. aka, mistakenly saying something you misheard or non-bad intentioned wrong belief. Disinformation - misleading content deliberately spread to deceive people, or to secure economic or political gain and which may cause public harm. This is about Disinformation NOT Misinformation, so understanding the difference is key. The current supreme court holds that disinformation is covered by the first amendment. The question is: Should it be? Please explain your answer. Both legal and moral arguments are acceptable. If you don't think disinformation is protected, say how you what should of laws should be in place against it, how they should be enforced and what punishments are appropriate. Have fun!

Man, Thursday nights ... I think that used to be Adult Swim night back in 2001, right? Of course, the only anime they played was Cowboy Bebop at that time. I think there was Midnight Run still going on the other nights with Outlaw Star and Big O? Anyway, probably not going to make much of a dent in things. Hardly anyone watches AXS and Adult Swim is swirling the drain along with other linear cable networks. I think if this happened on a a free TV channel like Comet TV or MeTV, it'd have more impact.

My 7-year-old daughter likes it. It's pretty much the same plot over and over again, so two episodes back-to-back is enough for her. That's the 1992 season anyway.

You say that yet there's Family Guy that's way more everything anime outside of hentai can be. I can't think of a single anime that AS or Toonami broadcasted that wouldn't be OK for broadcast TV.

Digital subchannels are pretty much like cable in the 1980s and 1990s now. Want a history channel? There's an OTA for that. Want a law & crime channel? There's one for that too. Want a cooking channel? There's one for that. Like sci-fi? There's one for that. Probably only a matter of time before there's one that appeals to the AS or Toonami demographics. Only drawback is that you're not going to get all of them unless you're in a major metro. Cable TV without an internet package is quickly becoming irrelevant. Most of the channels, like MTV, seem to be reruns or blocks of single-show reruns all day anyway.
