They're so young! Cagney and Lacey, that is. (Just watched a couple episodes...) 10:12:33 PM    Notes [] In other DVD news... Picked up a copy of "Cagney and Lacey" Season 1. It was either that or Season 1 of WKRP (without most of the original songs - except the theme song. Licensing issues, ya know...) "The Return" - that badly marketed indie film with SMG (it was in theaters for a week or two and the DVD release didn't get any advertising and was marketed as a Horror movie when it isn't... supposedly... at least by current definitions) - anyway... Best Buy now has it at the "inventory dump" price and I had a coupon... so I picked up a copy... I'll have to watch it tonight... Or maybe I'll watch something else? Hmm... "Escaflowne" ? 5:51:32 PM    Notes [] Finally... One of the two episodes of "Kim Possible" I hadn't seen yet... the Mother's Day episode. (It's shown only once a year apparently) Kim spends some time with her mother saving the world. Ron gets tricked into cleaning the garage by his mother. Wade is doing stuff with his mother in his 'holo-room' Drakken's mother comes to visit. But we never see Shego's mother? She's the only main character to appear in that episode without a mother... Now I just need to see the Halloween episode.... 5:42:09 PM    Notes [] One for Two Picked up a couple used DVD's this morning.... both of which happen to be directed by Yasuomi Umetsu. One is okay... the one about 3+ mercenaries - (They're "in the danger business" -- "Mezzo DSA" (last couple episodes) - mostly action. Going to have to dig up the earlier episodes. The other one... well... it is supposedly the better of his works... lots of gory action... and some very disturbing character interaction... not quite porn but the subtext is at the 'ick' level... and that's the "cleaned up" '16 and Up' labelled version apparently. One of those anime 'girls with guns' stories (Not sure of the technical/fan name for this genre. - THink 'Noir' or 'Gunslinger Girl') Sort of like a pervy cross between "The Professional", "La Femme Nikita" (the original French one). Not something to recommend to friends and family. Can't imagine what the "Director's cut" is like. It was with the general anime at the used book store... should have been with the "adult" stuff... IMHO. (Also, "Mouse" should have a warning label on it at Best Buy... while I'm thinking of mis-labelled anime DVD's) 5:34:14 PM    Notes []
