29 March 06 - 20:30Warner Bros cheapo`s

I already mentioned the cheaper box art for the recently released Justice League DVD box. Batman Beyond was also released last week, and with this release WB also went cheapo style and gave us a cheap digipack instead of a handsome fold out digipack. I haven`t gotten around to watch the episodes yet, but I bet this release also doesn`t have chapters. WB sometimes suck!

27 March 06 - 19:54Justice League Animated

Even though Warner Bros seriously dropped the ball on the package of the last week released Justice league DVD box, the episodes themselves are still top notch.
In the last couple of days I`ve been watching the episodes, and I must say that I sometmes think that the creative team has even surpassed their masterpiece Batman TAS. (more)

25 March 06 - 19:41WB skimping again

Today I got a nice package with some DVDs, among them the first season box of the Justice League. Though I`m happy that WB has finally decided to release this series as a boxset instead of loose volumes, I was quite disappointed when I opened the box.

23 March 06 - 19:43Animation guide

In my latest book package there was also a really nice book from Jerry Beck. Beck is a researcher. The only difference with other researchers is that Beck has devoted his time and resources to doing genuine research about animation - the lucky bastard - and not boring stuff no one cares about except the reseachers themselves. In The Animated Movie, Beck (with help from others) reviews every movie that has been released in the US in the theaters. One hell of a job, and one hell of a book!

21 March 06 - 19:53Not ultimate but still cool

I had been waiting for quite some time again on a package from Amazon, and of course those fucking assholes from customs had intercepted it. But last week it finally arrived, and let me just say that the people at customs are still useless fucking morons which I hope all get anthraxed real soon. 
But anyway, the package contained The Ultimate Collection from Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell amongst others.

15 March 06 - 20:03EuroVision Nightmare

Here in Europe we have an annual crapfest called the Eurovision Song Festival. The Eurovision Songfestival is a horrible evening filled with crappy songs performed by even crappier artists. Each country sends in their representative, and at the end of the night the citizens of all the participating countries vote which song is the best (or least worst -depending on your point of view) song of the night.
However this year they may actually be at least one cool entry, namely Lordi, the Finland entry. See their national performance here. And remember that the Eurovision Songfestival is supposed to be a nice family event :)

Not happy with the ending of a movie? Well these guys weren`t either, so they made up their own ending and animated it. And you can see the alternative endig to a couple of movies at How it Should Have Ended.

11 March 06 - 19:58Happy Horror

Ususally I import all my DVDs, and chose for region 1 DVDs because they often have nicer packages, extras and more titles are available. Last week I made an exception with the purchase of the Happy Tree Friends box.

01 March 06 - 19:31Verdonk is a fucking cunt Whore

Even though Dutch people in general are very tolerable towards minorities, we have a fucking heartless racist as our minister of Immigration and Integration.
Rita Verdonk is the minister of IAI, and her basic policy is to throw everyone out of the country who isn`t Dutch from origin, including those who have a Dutch nationality. Fortunately the Law prevents her from doing this. (more)
