I’ve been resisting posting advertisements as web videos of the day, because even when they are pretty cool, I’m trying to make this about video that doesn’t get seen enough, or video that is breaking barriers, or video that is doing anything other than what corporate video has been doing for the last half century, … more…
It’s one of those classic imponderables, like Why is the sky blue? and How do they get those ships into the bottles? — Why didn’t the eagles just fly Frodo to Mount Doom? Well, a cartoonist calling himself The Big Movie Freak thinks he has the answer. Enjoy. (Technorati tags: Frodo, Mount Doom)
(previous: “Condor”) So, Ravenwood is Jennings & Rall’s private army, huh? How did we not see that coming? (Isn’t it chilling how the seemingly innocuous phrase “wholly owned subsidiary” has become so, you know, chilling?) Still, “this isn’t Iraq,” Eric reminds Jake. Or is it?

(previous: “Dungeons & Dragons”) Oh boy. People are talking Biblical apocalypse and robots are learning to dance. We’re doomed. We gotta be doomed if this is how it’s all going down. Man, this is a particularly grim episode — the whole ethos of the series is pretty grim, actually. Maybe not so much on the … more…
