I'm still not sure what route to Spain takes them through Switzerland, China, then England.

It is really terrifying that my searches keep bringing up a furry porn site at around the fifth result.

I know what you're thinking, and that's not an impressionist. This is not a dream, a hoax, or an imaginary story.

The movie Cars is all about a famous American racer being captured, half-starved and enslaved by a small, desert town till he develops extreme Stockholm Syndrome. Oh, and they're all cars.
Oh TVTropes. Never change.

Yogi Bear is not a kids' movie. It is a bleak futurist parable about humanity's inability to accept a non-human sapience. It is also about a bear who wears a hat.
But Yogi Bear is not a bad film; it is a deceptive one. Everything about the film (including its plot, which is about an evil mayor wanting to close Jellystone Park) is a cipher. Yogi's unabashed ineptitude underscores its thesis, which is about the implicit horror of that much maligned subgenre of speculative fiction: the talking animal film.

Reblogged from dooce. And if you think it's a Metaphor for Something, you're probably right.

I just found out that the series finale of Chowder aired a week ago, and I did not know that was the air date.

You got some 'splanin to do.

The Doom that came to the Mystery Machine

My name is Daphne Pickman. Perhaps you've seen some of the
fictionalized versions of our adventures. Don't believe them. The truth
is far more horrible. Yes, we have exposed a fair number of frauds, but
there were cases we covered up. We had to. The feeble minds of the
masses, laden in sitcom tripe, could not bear the lonely burdens we have
borne. Perhaps some day, I'll write down how we battled the band �God's
Lost Children' or how we proved that Rush Limbaugh was a Deep One, his
show an elaborate rite for unleashing Cthulhu upon the world. I laughed
for relief when we successfully turned a shoggoth loose during one of his
broadcasts and it ate him, then choked to death in the process.

The thing about Pixar is that they're good. Really good. So good, in fact, that every other animation studio pales in their light.

Toy Story 3 is good. If it's still in theatres, go see it. I'd say it's darker and edgier, but I barely remember the second film, and the only specific scene I can recall from the first one is "So play nice!" I can't deny that it's "grown up", but it's definitely worth seeing.

And so is Despicable Me.

The nice thing about it is that everyone is playing against type. Steve Carell is playing a supervillain, Russel Brand is playing an elderly scientist, and Kirsten Wiig is playing someone...not nice. I didn't even know Julie Andrews was in the film until five seconds ago. The slapstick works, Gru's character development is well-handled, and it's genuinely heartwarming. And could the Minions be any more heartwarming? Not likely. I can't actually think of a single real complaint to make against either film.

Bottom line: Both movies are "highly watchable", and worth a few bucks.

There's a part of me that's always conflicted at these sorts of things. Specifically, there's an irritating "stop having fun guys" part of me that insists that drawing from photos, like this artist specializes in, is "cheating". Another part of me says that he's obviously talented at freehand, and that the first part is just jealous.
