Addendum to the above rant.

After writing and posting all that, I realized there was a little more I wanted to talk about and completely forgot to. I could just go in and edit, but I want to try an experiment. We'll find out if it worked in a few minutes.

In discussing nudity in American animation I wanted to talk about other examples and not just pick on Seth MacFarlane. I'm not talking cable channels or film festivals, mainstream studios have subtly done nudity since the at least before the 1920's. (There was a time not so long ago when you could say things like "The 20s" and people would know that you meant the "1920s." Now you actually have to say the 1920s.) Felix the Cat came up in my research. He came out about 1919. No clothes what so ever. This goes on with Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers (and their sister Dot,) and of course Disney.

When looking at this I realize the major difference between Family Guy and Rescue Rangers: they're animals. For some reason it is perfectly alright to have Chip and Dale running around with shirts and no pants on; but not have Peter hanging out around town. I think because off the fact that Baloo and Kit are anthropomorphic bears make the fact that they have no pants on acceptable to the general population. If it's a human character, instant no-go. I don't really have a problem with it, I'm not going to go all fundamentalist on you all, (I believe that there isn't much mental in fundamentalist.) But, I will have a little fun pointing out the inconsistencies: Rebecca Cunningham and Gadget wore pants and coveralls, oddly though Launchpad had pants but not Gosalyn.

The many decades of having cartoon animals in human form eventually allowed today's media to push the envelope.

Another good thing I wanted to say about the Inukami Anime is that the writers did a good job with subtle touches of character. I caught this one right away: Keita left Igusa alone and teased most everybody else. Most notably Tayune. While not explicitly stated why in the anime, but from reading the manga and just a wild guess at what the character bible may say; that since Igusa is scared to death of men she can't properly defend herself from Keita's lechery. Tayune can beat the crap out of Keita, so he picks on her all the time, and does get his ass beat all the time.

One final point: Can any body think of an instance where Francine and Hayley are topless, facing the camera, and uncensored?

It Worked.

What worked?

When I first started this blog I was pretty damn ignorant with the more intricate details of the settings, and I would have to agree with most that I still am. I thought I was always stuck with the time and date given by Blogger. Not so. After a year I tried scheduling a post a day out and it worked. Then I tried a week out and I was ecstatic.

One day I was having to fix some older posts because I messed up some information. When I reposted them the were in the original location and not up front. I found it interesting because it doesn't junk up my blog with out of date posts and new posts.
Well, no more than usual.

I've noticed that when people fix a post on their blogs they'll usually post a new entry saying they screwed up and not even fix the old post or even add in an annotation about it. The problem with that is what if someone finds that old page with bad information and not the new one with the good?

This week after posting the above rant about Inukami I realized later that I had forgotten a lot. I could just easily re-edit the post, or do what everybody else does and make a new post that would would appear above the old one.

I decided on an experiment: Could I possible make the post with the additional blubberings appear below the original? Turns out I could.

Not a very useful trick. But as usual I found it interesting.

Bob Kevoian said it best: "This room has a one wiener limit!"

I am Number 4.

A world has been destroyed and the last few survivors and their guardians are on Earth. Three so far have been killed and we start the movie with fourth one on the list.

Graphically this movie was pretty good. That's about it. I was seriously yawning throughout, I almost got up and left. I could not get into these characters at all. It was so predictable: main guy falls in love with Earth girl, they have to part, old wise dude dies, alien babe realizes powers comes to rescue at just the right time, nerdy kid falls in love with alien babe and gets continuously rebuffed, kid's dad helped the aliens, and school bully turns good.

You're not missing much. There are much better aliens hiding on Earth shows than this. Like all those episodes of Star Trek.

A couple of little points: throwing a license plate on a fire does nothing to hide the pressed lettering, also that fire wasn't anywhere near hot enough to melt out the center. I know, I've actually done this many years ago. Of course the evil aliens sniff the burned up plate and track them right down. Amazing how fast they found the good guys. Took them years to find Number One, then Number Two, and Number Three. They get to our heroes in the matter of days.

Why are the bad guys taking them in order? What if number 123,456,789 is right next to them?
"Soon, it will be your turn. As soon as we track down 4 through 123,456,788."

I am Number Snore is best viewed (if you don't have anywhere else to be on a Friday night) on a movie channel.
