International Intrigue

Posted Thursday, June 1st, 2006 at 10:45pm

The International Intrigue hiatus is officially over. I don’t know how you went about watching any foreign films at all in the past couple of weeks. Don’t worry, I’ve returned to guide you through the murky waters of languages not quite our own.

But in the interest of easing back in, I’ve just got one single solitary review for you (regulars will know that oftentimes I have many). So I dedicate this still not-all-that-short column to the “I love your column but it takes me all week to read it” crowd.

Music for the Masses

Posted Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 at 10:48pm

Welcome back, friends! Hope you’re all doing well. Me? I’m doing great and thanks for asking. But I gotta tell you, like many of you out there, I am still recovering from that emotional roller coaster ride that ended last week. I mean, whoa. . .I’m tearing up just thinking about it. How cool, nay, how inspiring was it to see a mentally retarded young man chase his dreams and reach the pinnacle of success? That’s a rhetorical question, of course, because it was damn cool. Damn inspiring. So, before we go any further, let’s give a shout out to this amazing young man. That’s right, Soul Patrol, give it up for our boy, Taylor “Corky” Hicks! WHOOOO!!!! High five!!!

Addicted to Bad

Posted Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 at 10:37pm

In the months leading up to its release, FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN, based on the long-running video game series, was hailed as a wonder of technological achievement. Reports surfaced that dozens of programmers spent more than a year animating just the lead character’s hair, while other sources claimed that the programmers took about three weeks to do the hair, and spent the rest of the year trying to look busy when anyone was looking.

Comics in Context #133: Swinging Down Broadway

Posted Tuesday, May 16th, 2006 at 10:23pm

It’s much easier to justify writing about Tarzan in this column, than Spamalot. Though the latter was based on a movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), which had animated sequences, the Tarzan stage musical is based on Disney’s entirely animated 1999 film, which in turn was inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel Tarzan of the Apes. Even apart from the animated film (and Disney’s TV series and direct-to-video Tarzan II, both animated, that followed), Tarzan has a long history in cartoon art
