It is racist.

Been watching the Newer Futurama episodes.  I didn't care for the movies and the first two episodes were only fair, but after that the show really starts to come back.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I just finished the House of Cards series off Netflix (thanks for the tip Viking). Outstanding stuff.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

Yeah that Netflix is kinda nifty.  That's what I'm watching Futurama on.

The best goddamned thing about Netflix is The Family Guy, South Park, and Star Trek: TOS on fucking tap, anytime, anywhere.

The only thing that makes it watchable is knowing the plot in the book and re-cutting the movie in your own head filling in all the gaps, removing all the shit that fucks up the plot. If they had only stayed true to A Princess of Mars then they might have had a chance.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I liked it a lot actually.  It was a fun, summer popcorn flick.  I hadn't read the books prior, and I've only recently begun the omnibus I bought with the first 3 collected together, so I can't say how it compares.  I saw it in the traditional format, not 3D, and thought it was quite good as it was.
