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

You guys are cute.

Also young.

I was thinking about before that time, but no doubt the animation helped too (as in, the Spider-Man series helped awareness of Spidey for the average Jane). Those play to a mainstream audience who then grow up and go about their disparate ways.

I did recently need it pointed out to me that the Starfire reboot was worse than I had thought because the more popular vision of Starfire wasn't the free love Tamaranian survivor of slavery, it was a slightly awkward teen trying to fit in.

Oh. Okay. But...would it have been the plan for them to have grown up to read the previous 60s sex-positive often-naked Starfire? Is there a transition plan? It made me confused.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(as in, the Spider-Man series helped awareness of Spidey for the average Jane)

Also, Spider-Man has always had a daily newspaper strip.

Birdie sources tell me that the parrot in the Hobbit videoblog is a Kea - the only Alpine parrot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Also the only carnivorous parrot.

I finally saw Hugo today at our local second run theater. What an amazing film! I think it may end up being one of my first blu-ray purchases when we finally get our player hooked up.

Just got back from seeing The Artist with my mom. Soooo good, it earned every Oscar it won.I am amazed at how well Jean Dujardin was able to win the audience's sympathy with facial expressions and body language.

Matt, ITA we saw it last night and loved it. It was charming and sweet. I'm glad it won Best Picture because I would not have been able to convince my husband to see it otherwise. I have to say that Uggie is quite the actor too.
