Gravity Falls: The Anime!
Anybody else watching the excellent Gravity Falls? It’s a delightful cartoon in its own right, but the writers have also packed it with so much mythology that there are whole websites dedicated to unraveling the mysteries. I like that in a show. I loved it in Lost, and Gravity Falls definitely has a good head on its shoulders. This is a video made by Mike Inel, taking a scene from a recent Season 3 episode and redoing it as an anime. I think the animation looks pretty slick!
For Some Reason, Animated Guardians of the Galaxy Rubs Me The Wrong Way
I don’t know what my problem is! I absolutely loved the Guardians of the Galaxy! It was an amazing film! I loved it and can’t wait to buy it on DVD (which says a lot!). But there’s just something about how the characters are written or portrayed in other media that I can’t stand – and that includes comics! I think part of it is that Star-Lord’s red coat outfit just doesn’t translate well out of live action. He looks dumb. And the writing is just…I don’t know. All I know is that this snippet of an animated Guardians of the Galaxy rubs me the wrong way.
If you like it, by all means, like it! Don’t let me bring you down. I think I’m just unintentionally being some kind of curmudgeon.
Gritty Adventure Time Trailer is Mathematical!
You all know how much I love gritty reboots, well the Gritty Reboots Youtube channel has fashioned an Adventure Time trailer that is not only awesome in its own right, but so perfectly encapsulates the show! This is some top class Internetting!
That was just gorgeous. It was clearly made by fans of the show, who probably spent a week or so awesomely cosplaying all the characters. And the special effects were just grand! Did you see Jake?! That was insanely good! I need to keep my eye on thi schannel.
Disney Trailer Double-Tap!
We’ve got a pair of trailers for a couple of upcoming Disney movies, so I thought I’d group them together and let you all know that I think they look pretty good. I’ve loved trailers since I was a wee little Sean, and we’re living in a golden age of movie trailers. So I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
Big Hero 6
Tomorrowland
I hadn’t heard about that Tomorrowland film, but it’s apparently by Brad Bird, the guy who made The Iron Giant and The Incredibles. That counts for everything.

The 6 Most Unconventional Transformers
I’m not a car guy. I can drive them just fine, but I don’t know a thing about them. I used to drive a Chrysler Sebring, and now I drive a Chevy Impala, but they might as well be the same car for all I really know. So it shouldn’t be any surprise that my favorite Transformers are a fire truck, a Mountain Dew machine and a wolf/eagle hybrid. There’s just no way to get me to care about Transformers who are cars, even if that’s kind of the entire premise.
Unless that car is the Batmobile, of course.
Why aren’t we funding this?!
Fortunately for geeks like me, not all of the Transformers are hot rods and sports cars. There’s a whole minority of weird but awesome vehicles out there. Of course, you’ve got your Beast Wars, your Constructicons and your transforming planets, but these 6 are some of the best unconventional Transformers in the bunch.
