I missed out on it, I need to go back and watch those two episodes.

I started watching Spiderman: The 67 Collection. This is truly terrible stuff.

It's actually quite good in a MST3K sort of way. I watched the whole collection through when I was about 10. I love the glaring inconsistencies in the animation, and the way the writers thought they could make a "new" episode by splicing a few new lines into bits and pieces of old episodes.

Anyone ever seen Rene Laloux's films? He was a French animation director, did some sci-fi films in the 70s and 80s. Trippy kind of stuff. Specifically Le Maitres du Temps (The Time Masters), Fantastic Planet (which he is best known for) and Gandahar. I have yet to see Gandahar, though I hear the localized version (known as Light Years) is pretty butchered.

I was lucky enough to track down the DVD of Time Masters, which is a great animated film IMO. I love anime, but I really dig this psychedelic Western animation too.

Regular Show is finally coming to DVD. It's my favorite of the new Cartoon Network shows, so I'm definitely gonna preorder.

Exactly, it's the little touches here and there that make it so great. The fact that they still use a VCR, the Master System, etc.
