…over on The Other Blog. Enjoy!

About jobs, economy, etc. As usual, after the jump for the non-politically-inclined.

As promised, a look at the infamous Ninja Turtles Anime…

FYI, “Game OverThinker” Episode 53 will debut on ScrewAttack.com at 11pm EST on Wednesday night. For those who’d like an early taste, a mini-preview set of screencaps is now up on The Other Blog…

It’s not good. “Intermission” expounds as to why.

…even though they’re still afraid of his fucking mask. Holy. Shit.

One thing, though – I thought the “international” release was using “First Avenger” as the main title – did they finally abandon that? (Knowing Marvel Studios, it’d be more about not paying for seperate prints than anything ideological, but still…)

It’s unsurprising but still sad that many people still haven’t given Mike Judge’s ambitious “Idiocracy” – best described as a dramatically less-optimistic cousin to “Futurama” – a shot. Whether you’ve already seen it or not, this opening sequence remains one of the funniest yet most terrifyingly-plausible visions of an unconventional-apocalypse ever put to film. It’s not at all hard to imagine looking at this film a decade from now and thinking “It’s too late. This guy tried to warn us. We didn’t listen. Now it’s too late…”

Another new episode of the new show.

Here’s the first teaser for Steven Spielberg’s “War Horse,” an adaptation of the 1982 Michael Morpurgo children’s book that more-recently inspired a stage play. The story: A horse “drafted” into the Cavalry during World War I suffers mightily as he tries to survive the war and ultimately get back to it’s owner, a young English boy – who is also searching for him. Wow. Might as well have titled it, “Please make a movie out of me, Steven Spielberg.”

As I see it, there’s only two ways this can concievably go: Either it’s “Amistad” again (i.e. well-meaning, well-made but ultimately uninvolving stuff) OR we’re about to add another title to the “movies it’s okay for men to cry at” list.
