Plot a course, Mr. Arex
Today was video day… finally watched the Miyazaki DVD raininva purchased for me, “Spirited Away” – very good, much superior to “Princess Mononoke” in my opinion. Not sure if I like it better than “My Neighbor Totoro” or “Kiki’s Delivery Service”. but it was a good way to spend two hours.
Also, I acquired all the episodes of the Star Trek animated series, so I was treating myself to some good mid-seventies flashbacks. That show was definitely ahead of its time – weak animation and writing compared to much modern anime, but compared to the Saturday morning cartoons it was aired against, it was solid stuff. Besides, animation can do much wilder aliens than all the latex forehead bumps in Hollywood.
I even got some dishes and laundry done, so I’m all productive and stuff today.
Oooh…where did you get the episodes? I have yet to see them…
Re: TAS episodes
Well, these were copies a friend made for me, and the quality isn’t the best, especially the sound. However, I believe that Paramount is planning a DVD release in the very near future, which I plan to get. At 22 half-hour (more like 22 minutes after commercials) episodes, it won’t take a very large boxed set to get them all.
