PC, I might be up for that.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Jonny Quest was one of the few shows I could stand to rewatch
'Cause they're freakin' awesome! When I was at Fantagraphics we interviewed Doug Wildey who was basically the animation showrunner for Jonny Quest. Great interview by a talented guy and a grizzled old Hollywood vet.
Forbidden Planet (with Leslie Nielson, Anne Francis and Walter Pigeon) was the Tempest In Space.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
In further Tempest discussion, what was the 50's (?) sci-fi flick that was an adaptation of the play?
It was indeed Forbidden Planet: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The animation in Jonny Quest was intriguing, looking so much grittier than the other Saturday morning fare.
edit: Plus I had such a crush on Race Bannon.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I wish I could sit in the juliana-ita corner but thanks to syndication I can't. I went through a brief phase with both shows, but grew to hate them as my brother's phase was much longer.(he still is always trying to get me to look at variety- show clips on youtube...they're the most awful things I can imagine, and I look at crime-scene photos.) Sometimes I think one of us is adopted.

RE: Nolan and fridging - I've only seen Inception, Batman Begins, and Dark Knight. That said, as far as I can tell, the author makes some good points. I was very frustrated, for example, with the way Rachel Dawes was underutilized and ultimately, well, you know, in The Dark Knight. As gifted as Nolan is, he could stand to take a look at the story he's telling, again and again. Of course it's not just him - everyone does it - and that's the problem.
