I will agree people were giggling at Dr. Manhattan's blue wang.

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6, Disc 3

Prior to hitting it big with Porky Pig, Warner Brothers had tried to make it with four Mickey Mouse Rip Offs (Bosko, Piggy, Foxy and Beans.)  This disc focused on them.  Cartoons of the late 20's and early 30's usually were built around a song; usually as an advertisement for sell sheet music for songs owned by the parent company.  Most of the cartoons on the disk are like that, there were several for "We're in the Money" and "Smile Darn Ya Smile."

Warner Brothers cartoons of the era lagged behind Disney and Fleisher in terms of quality and innovation.  Some of the Bosko ones are worthwhile, but overall the disc is not all that great.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah, I'm not sure what was confusing...

I would agree with your wife that I would have liked more action.  Less emo action between Jupiter and Night Owl.

I think part of it was that they had trouble following the (English) dialogues, which I didn't see as a problem myself, because I thought language and pronounciation were pretty clear.

I ignored Disc 3 in favor of Disc 2, with its wartime cartoons.  :D

The wartime cartoons are great; Herr meets Hare is one of my all time favorites.  Even Bosko the Doughboy is better than anything on Disc 3.

If you can, the Disney wartime set is good too. I found the educational stuff to be hilarious.

Watchmen. I liked it. Probably the best they could do, considering the material. The film's ending was definitely the better one.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Almost through watching Extras. I can see why Marty liked the Ian McKellen episode a lot - was very funny.  :D

Even though the concept is fairly repetetive (and I see why they didn't move beyond season 2 with that):
- awkward situations towards minorities (blacks, gays, downs syndrome, midgets ...)
- Andy always meaning well, but gets into trouble by:
a) Maggie's lose mouth (seriously, I'd have punched in her teeth more than once) who forwards his hangups to the "right" people or
b) his bumbling agent, or
c) both, though he often adds his share to make things more awkward
Most of the time I feel sorry for Andy, though, because he's constantly held back by those morons.

Regarding guest stars, I thought the episode with Daniel Radcliffe was extremely fantastic, esp. the condom scene with Diana Rigg. Patrick Steward as usual excelled, and Sir Ian monologuing about what acting is was also priceless.

Giggling? I was speechless. I think I know the guy it was modelled on. Only, ya know, less blue.
