Everybody needs to read something like this every once in awhile to put everything back in perspective. Thanks, Neil! via [neilgaiman.com]

The British are coming!  The British are coming...to my comic book store!

Ok, call me a sucker for a good ad campaign and anything that involves Neil Gaiman, but I can't wait for this mini-series to hit store shelves!  I think I might just head out today to DNA Comics in order to reserve my copy cuz I have a feeling with all these comics movies stirring up interest, this might just sell out.

Animated Film Is Latest Title to Run Aground at DreamWorks. DreamWorks SKG has been one of the latest studios disappointed by a collective shrug from moviegoers. 

I think the movie execs really miss the point.  It's not an issue of hand drawn animation versus digital animation that is attracting movie goers.  Finding Nemo is just a really good movie.  As was Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and Shrek.  If audiences were simply into eye-candy then the South Park movie wouldn't have been as successful as it was.

To sit there and look at flops like Titan, A.E. or Treasure Planet and decry the death of traditional animation is to look at crap like, "Dude, Where's My Car?" and decry the death of the modern road-trip adventure movie a la "Easyrider".  via [New York Times: Business]

test...hopefully this updates the nav links.  Success!

Ok, it appears that Radio will look for any file with a #navigatorLinks prefix...whether it be .txt, .xml, .opml, or .bak (which Windows editors love putting all over the place...which is what was screwing me up).

Daredevil micro-review.  Okay, I have to admit that I am going to see this movie.  "Daredevil" was my favorite comic book (once I grew up past the "X-Men" [coming soon to a theater near you])  back in high school and apparently Ben Affleck was a huge "Daredevil" fan too, and even penned the foreword for Kevin Smith's run on the comic book.  Add to that the fact that Jamie thought it was okay (and he hates everything) and you have yourself a movie that probably won't leave you feeling ripped off when you get out of the theater. Besides if I can sit through the original Captain America movie, I can sit through anything.  via [jwz]
