I still watch cartoons.
A post by Matt Zoller Seitz at The House Next Door left me jonesing for some Looney Tunes.
I count myself lucky to have grown up with these cartoons, and I wish more kids could see them today.
Here's one of my favorites, "Feed the Kitty":
How perfect is that?

White Christmas
A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
Christmas in Connecticut

Wow, I have some watching to do. I'll let you know how well I fare.

Has the WGA strike left you with way too much down time?
Here's a tip: Now might be a great time to get that pesky prison time out of the way.
Good luck to you, Kiefer. See you in 47 days!

There was a terrorist in that tree, I swear!
It's that time of year again. Time to re-visit some of the heartwarming moments of Christmases past. Like this one.

Come on, help feed the hungry and add a few new words to you vocabulary while you're at it.
I think I spotted Hermie and Yukon Cornelius at Target!
How TV's 'Rudolph' was saved: "Two years ago, the figures were acquired by current owner Kevin Kriess. Santa's face was stained, there was mold under his beard and half his mustache was gone. Rudolph was missing the red light bulb from his nose, said Kriess, a longtime fan of the special whose Harmony, Pennslyvania-based business TimeandSpaceToys.com sells action figures and other collectibles based on movies and TV shows. Kriess, 44, said he bought his two treasures from a person whose family had received them years ago from a relative who worked for Rankin/Bass. For many years, the delicate wood, wire and fabric puppets had been treated casually: first as toys and later as holiday decorations."
Wasn't this a Law & Order: SVU episode?
Young man's suicide blamed on mother's cult: "Former sect members tell CNN Berg encouraged adult-child sex. More often than not, they say, the chosen child was Rodriguez, the son of Karen Zerby, who Berg called his queen. Zerby became the leader of the sect when Berg died in 1994."
Well, whether it was or not, it's still horrifying. That poor guy.

Adrian Pasdar Q&A
EW.com has an interview with Adrian Pasdar in which he talks about his life outside of Heroes, including his Civil War musical, his children's show for Nick, Jr. and his YouTube videos of behind-the-scenes antics of his co-stars (which are awesome!).
Here's what he has to say about the show:
We all have great faith in the writing team that puts together Heroes. Season 3 is going to be very interesting to see what happens and how they're able to take the lessons that we've learned, and really tell the story that they want to tell without losing an audience. Because the goal at the end of the day is to have as many people watch the show as you can. What's challenging is: It's not stupid TV, it's not a reality program. It actually is complex. There's many layers to Heroes. Tim's not averse to risk-taking, as he has proven in the episodes of season 2. I think it turns a corner; the last three or four episodes have really gotten back to the core of what the show is about.
Well, I hope tonight's (possibly season) finale peels back some of those layers and makes me eat my stupid words.
Here's a sampling of his YouTube videos:
Zachary Quinto and Kristin Bell at the Emmys:
And David Anders doing Peter O'Toole:

Drive Thru Review
300 - I'm not sure whether I liked this or not. The violence was almost pornographic in nature, not to mention the preponderance of bare-chested, panty-wearing men. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying...I wonder if I wouldn't have enjoyed this movie more if I was a gay man?
Bender's Big Score - He's back, baby! I had so much fun watching this. And it's not just because I've been starving for new Futurama content, either. It really is good. I think you could enjoy it even if you haven't seen any of the TV show, but I would recommend that you watch the show on DVD first. A lot of the jokes will work better if you do. I wanted to see more of Zap Branigan, Kiff and Nibbler, and maybe a little less of the nude scammer aliens, but that's alright. There are 3 more movies coming!

Why bad kissers don't get to second base.
Um, perhaps because they are bad kissers?
Another in a long line of frivolous studies has determined that a budding relationship can be nipped in the uh, bud, with a horrendous first kiss. Well, duh.
Like most people, I've kissed my share of real winners. One guy literally tried to swallow my toungue. I swear, I thought he was going to rip it right out of my mouth. Then there was the suction cup/plunger guy who managed to consume the entire lower portion of my face. Definitely a deal-breaker.
Do you have any horrible kiss stories you'd like to share?
