How was that? It looks good/funny.

Oh man, all my little-kid cousins will be there for xmas this year! Maybe we can have a cousin movie day and go see something fun. Awesome.

(did I tell you that my youngest cousin was asked to draw his favorite place, and he said "Aunt D_____'s house, because I get to play basketball with [brother] and guitar with inev" !?!?!)

It's also almost Peanuts Christmas season. Damn, that album is the best.

Yeah, between the Christmas show and the Christmas music, anything they do with Peanuts is gonna pale in comparison. I'm trying to keep an open mind though.

I'm not jaydub, but I quite enjoyed Big Hero Six. It's not high art by any stretch, but entertaining enough.

I was kind of dreading it, but ended up enjoying it from the first frame on.  Judging by how it ended, we can all look forward to the coming franchise becoming a regular feature of our pop culture.  I really liked the setting - a fusion of anime/megalopolis with San Francisco that was unselfconsciously referred to as San Frantokyo throughout the film.  It had a super familiar feel to it, as a denizen of the area, but I can guarantee you that the real SF would fit in a neighborhood of the fantasy one.  Its a great city - but its not a great big city.

It's the setting that interests me, a lot of it is apparently based very precisely on Tokyo - particular train lines and such. An American city with the Tokyo train system is basically my dream world.

Otherwise it's the sort of thing about which I would not give a fuck. I'll still wait till I can watch it at home and fast-forward through the plot if I need to.
