Being a poor bastard, I can't buy DVD collections of television shows anymore. I loved it back when I had a steady job because I pretty much collected all of the DC Animated shows like Batman TAS, Superman, Justice League, and so on. One show that I really, really want to own is Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Hulu.com actually had three seasons up for a while and stopped, which left me a crack-addict. Logo, the gay channel, actually came to the rescue and airs Buffy episodes regularly. Only problem is that they don't show them in order----at least not completely. It would be easier to watch if I could just pop in a DVD. I pretty much watched all five seasons of Angel on TV, so backtracking with Buffy has been my favorite geek activity lately.
Castle is actually one of the best shows on television...lately. Definitely on my top 5. I'd watch Nathan Fillion in anything, but the show is actually fun to watch. Their two part story "Tick, tick, tick..." and "Boom!" was the best I've seen from the show.
Looks like Marvel finally snagged a Captain America, but I think they made a bad choice. Chris Evans is a cool guy---probably the only thing that made Fantastic Four work, but he's not Cap. I mean, when I picture Cap, he's a leader of men. A guy with a commanding voice---the kind of shit that would give a coward courage. Evans doesn't seem like the right fit. The director was hellbent on getting an America for the role, which makes sense, but when you have a guy like Sam Worthington sitting around, it's not really wise to have limitations. I kinda knew that the casting was going to be screwy because they started off with John Krasinski from the Office. Very weird.
I hope Chris Evans works out because I hate to see The Avengers movie fail.
Animation's been on the brain lately. After seeing the behind the scene footage of a Birdy Decode, I seriously need to make stuff move with my drawings. One thing I can say (and this should be in a separate post altogether) is that I need to teach myself. Sure, the work can be tedious, but I think I have a better shot at doing this solo. I think it sucks that I went to an art school for animation and hardly know squat.
