I never saw Batman The Animated Series as a child, only as an adult. I grew up with things like Daria, Rocko's Modern Life and Rugrats though. Did anybody else grow up with Passions? Passions was the shit back in the day. The soap opera where Tabitha the Witch had Timmy the doll minion...

This I agree with, since the first time I went on a forum for reals, I'd just read Densha Otoko (Train Man in English, the greatest internet bromance tale ever told in any language) and I was full of naive idiocy enough to believe that the internet was somehow this great promised land that could...

Ooh, I just figured out how to fix it. No American remake. Nope. Have an AUSTRALIAN REMAKE instead. Geographical location much closer to Asia? Check. Influx of Japanese population post-Earthquake? Check. Hundreds of great Asian-Australian Asian people to pick the cast from, even if some...

Sorry, accidental double post because it didn't appear/Captcha.

The movie AKIRA is the reason why I'll never complain about Dune or Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World being not close enough to the books again. If you knew the effort that went into AKIRA, which was both endorsed and directed by the mangaka who made the books mind you, something not even Zach...

Retro gaming? Pfft. Too mainstream. I'll stick to my Angry Birds and my Gears Of War 3 thank you. Posers.

In 1998 Australia, many had not heard of Halloween. Peeps like me and my brother busted our arses and got barely a Tim-Tam each for our troubles. There were many like us who saw Halloween related cartoons on Saturday Mornings and wished to bring the American Dream of free lollies down under. We...

Still. I fought the law and the LAW LOST? This is an achievement though, you ever see the movie Game Boys where they try and find a copy of Custer's Revenge? I feel like I just found the cinematic equivalent of Custer's Revenge.

I don't think you quite understand what I'm saying here. According to this site: http://www.refused-classification.com/news/2010/07-25-caligula-banned-on-dvd.html I would not normally be able to find an uncut copy of Caligula in Australia, much less with the OFLC seal of approval, that...

I ordered the Aussie Blu-Ray of Salo, because my art teacher wanted us to see it for our Photomedia class. Hope it arrives before the fundies re-ban it or something. The reason why this copy of Caligula is special is not just because it is uncut but it is an all region disc clearly sold in a...

Suck it Conroy. I bought a DVD of the infamous "Caligula" with Malcolm McDowell in it, not knowing that it was, in reality, an uncut version even though it had the new black "R18+" sticker on it. It is an NTSC disk but it still works in my PS3 and Mac, so I was a happy man. More happy...

Heavy Rain will give you a horrifying glimpse into how your parents felt every time you got lost at a shopping center. Just sayin'. As for playing it while depressed, you'll probably be laughing at just how much grimmer it gets with every scene to stop yourself from crying. It's not Mad...

Heavy Rain: short version, play it NOW if you're not currently being treated for depression or related anxiety disorders. Long version? This game is a masterpiece of despair, from the very first scene how you are conveyed from the very CONTROLS themselves rather than just story how difficult...

I for one fail to see any logic of ZERO Ponyo AMVs set to Dethklok's "Go Into The Water". Because it's the only anime with the imagery necessary to justify it.
