So I recently rented a couple films since I had four glorious days off with my family, thanks to the god given fact that I don't work a real job, with sweat and grit and all those things a man longs to be, imposing and harsh, rough around the edges and sharper in between, you know, super gay.

Anyway's, so one of the films was the latest Die Hard installment, "Live Free or Die Hard" which I enjoyed, sure it was as meaningful or memorable as last nights half drunken piss but just like all number ones, they have their moments so I won’t knock it. It was well crafted and everyone involved should be credited with participating in an entertaining flick which I've watched 3 times now. I particularly enjoyed the villain even for his lack of screen time. Just a quick question though, was Kevin Smith necessary? I mean, don't get me wrong, he seems personable and I wouldn't kick him out of bed, not cause I could do better, because I can, it's just that he's way fucking bigger than me, he'd probably kick my ass then rape it. Seriously though, Kevin Smith?

The other films I rented where "Hot Rod", "God Grew Tired of Us", "Oceans Thirteen", "El Cantante" (ugh, I know...) and "The Namesake", most where shamefully awful, and yes, they're the ones you would expect.

Enter Sebastian Salazar, 7.12 ounces and a lean 21 inches long, he's young, hungry and not ashamed to cry. He's perfect.

So I recently had the opportunity to pitch a show idea to small studio and it was a blast. I usually hear people complain about pitching shows and concepts and all that jazz but I have to admit that for my first time, my pitch de-flowering was definitely the knees bees.

So as you've probably deduced, the shows called Modern Science. I've written the pilot episode and designed the main characters so whether they decide to develop it further or not, it'll get made. Right now the goals are to polish off the characters, get some scratch dialogue recorded for 1st pass pencil tests then hopefully move on to getting a rough animatic type pass done before New Years.

Also, I'll try and reload some animations and comics this weekend, in the meantime, be sure to scope out the clothed section.

I'm sitting here watching Adult Swim and seeing a ton of promos for non-animated shows and pondering whether 5 years down the road the Cartoon Network will start having bullshit spin off networks like MTV has MTV2 and MTVtres (that's MTV3 for our more anglo friends) that supposedly attempt to play what MTV1 is supposed to play in the first fucking place.

Now, no one's arguing that MTV plays good music now or has ever played good music but at least it was music right? And seriously, what ass doesn't like Nirvana?

I don't know, maybe this all stems from my deep seeded confusion (slightly smoldering hatred) of Saul of the Mole Men which inspired this rant. I seriously don't fucking get this show. Maybe I'm not old enough to have an affinity for the classically shitty shows it's based on or a supposed homage to but I would seriously, genuinely appreciate someone explaining why this show is entertaining? I'm not even shooting for some logic behind why it's possibly good. Or on Cartoon Network. Am I as a viewer supposed to get a kick out of the low rent sets and awful compositing? The horrendous costumes? The homoerotic undertones? I don't know, any help would, well... help. On the upside, I am a fan of Fosters which the creator of SotMM, Craig Lewis, has written for. Until I get an answer, I guess I'll just stick with the insanely awesome and just plain pretty Venture Brothers.

Personally, my favorite MTV spin off network is the new one, MTVD. It's fucking great, it plays nothing but rap videos and sexually confusing reality shows. What, you haven't caught that one? Also, I wonder if MTV1 vj's look down on MTV2 vj's. How's that pyramid of broken dreams and misguided sexual favors function?

Embarrassing I know but I swear, this has never happened before. Anyway's, my girlfriend says it happens to a lot of web sites so I'm trying not to think about it too much..

I hate it when she talks about other web sites.. blah blah blah... jokes and jokes and jokes...
