Bart: You know, Grampa kinda smells like that trunk in the garage
where the bottom's all wet.

Lisa: Nuh-uh, he smells more like a photo lab.

Homer: Stop it, both of you! Grampa smells like a regular old man,
which is more like a hallway in a hospital.

The cast of Rocko's Modern Life explains how to stay safe on the internet.
It skews a little young, but it's nice to see Rocko and the gang doing something.

Jessica Alba has joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez' silver screen adaptaion of Sin City. She'll be playing "Nancy".

Watch a sneak peek of Danny Phantom, a show I currently enjoy.

How about a look at some screen grabs from the Uncut Japanese version of Kill Bill Vol. 1?

USA Today has news on some of the spceial features and goodies on the upcoming Star Wars Original Trilogy DVD Collection.

Alex Ross has done two poster mock-ups for a Superman feature film starring Tom Welling (of Smallville).
For the full story as well as a look at the pictures click here.

Mitsuteru Yokohama, the creator of Gigantor and Mighty Robo, has died at the age of 69 due to a fire at his home in Tokyo.

Richard Linklater is working on a follow-up to Waking Life called A Scanner Darkly.
I say follow-up only because this film too will be turning live-action footage into animated sequences.

Because no one demanded it, production is moving forward on Police Academy 9.

Speaking of sequels, Carrie-Anne Moss has signed on for Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 3.

Details on the special edition DVD releases of Predator and The Bourne Identity (which will include a new beginning and ending).

The following is straight from Dark Horizons:
Jurassic Park IV
For a long time we've heard talk about Spielberg's 'great idea' for the story of the fourth "Jurassic Park" movie that has gotten people exicted about the franchise. Well long time DH informer 'Undergear' finally has the scoop on what that idea might be:

"All these rumors about Jurassic Park 4 are false. They are retooling the script (out to big name doctors right now) But here's the worst part... All this talk about this "brilliant" idea, well... I cannot begin to tell you how bad his idea is...The government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them for battle purposes. I am not kidding!".

A great Rolling Stone article on The Burden Brothers.
A band which I endorse 100%.
You should too.
Or at least check them out.

I know Spike TV isn't too worried about any controversy stemming from things said on their new animated series This Just In.
How do I know they're not worried?
Because no one is watching it.
Someone has to watch it to get offended and start complaining.
That's just how these things work.
I happened across it last night, and I've got to say, it really wasn't that bad.
Maybe people should start watching it.
I guarantee if they do, someone will find something to complain about.. and fast.

Ever wonder what went on during the time when Palpatine trained Darth Vader?

I didn't get to see The Punisher this weekend, but I wanted to see it.
I did draw a quick sketch of the guy though for Shawn.
That has to count for something, right?
Well, hopefully, I'll see it at some point this week.
Here's the sketch.

(Shawn didn't ask for the sketch, I just know he likes The Punisher, and I hadn't seen him in a while, so I thought I'd draw him something.)

HOLY HELL!
ASH are going to be involved with Star Wars in some way!
Here's the details.

Eddie Izzard has been added to the cast of a new movie with an fairly impressive cast... not Sin City impressive, but it does share an actor or two with said film.

This is pretty funny.

So what's Damon Albarn been up to?
The future of Blur, Gorillaz, and more.

Doug brought to my attention the fact that I had neglected to mention that "Weird" Al will be playing in our general area soon.
The exact date? April 24
The exact place? The Grand Casino Event Center
I just figured most of you had already made your plans to see him well in advance, and my telling you was unnecessary.
In case you hadn't though, now you know.

Maggie is an artist like you don't even want to know about.. because she's too good.
Go look.

Picture of the Day... and another... you know, for fun.

There's a chance you haven't seen this yet, so here's the trailer for Kill Bill Vol. 2.
It looks incredible.
Incredible.

Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, says The Simpsons feature film is still probably 5 years away.

Ron Perleman and Thomas Jane have confirmed there will be at least one sequel to both Hellboy and The Punisher... though neither will have much to do with the other.

Due to the script being leaked during the last week, the producers have decided to wait even longer before unveiling the new costume Christian Bale will be wearing in Batman Begins.

Star Wars : Episode III will hit theaters on May 19, 2005.

Heath Ledger may be the next James Bond.

John Woo has acquired the rights to Metroid, and plans on doing a big-budget feature film version for the summer of 2006.

I guess someone needs to congratulate Hong Kong, because they've built Robocop.. and probably doomed us all to a life lived in subservience to robot overlords.
C'mon, we all saw those Terminator flicks.. you know it's only a matter of time.

I know it's not Christmas, but this is simply too funny.
Wrong, but funny.
Very funny.
You have to have sound for it to be funny though.

There's a rumor making the rounds that Steve Buscemi may be playing The Joker should the new Batman flick merit a sequel.... which I'm sure it will.

If I could only recommend one comic to a person, this would definitely be on the list of possible candidates: INVINCIBLE: Family Matters (Vol. 1)
You could waste $10 on a lot worse.
It's worth giving a try.
Actually, you can go here and check out the entire first issue...
then read the first issues of Grrl Scouts, The Clockmaker, and Powers.
Chances are you'll thank me.
And if you're bored and at work, even if you don't like the comics, at least it will have killed some time.

A gallery of every picture from the original 1952 Mars Attacks! cards.
It's amazing.
And people think kids see too much violence now.
