Before I review this movie, I must tell you I am a huge Speed Racer fan. There are very few anything in media that I go ga-ga over, and Speed Racer is one of them. When I found out they were making a movie out of my favorite cartoon, I was, as one would expect, excited. But in that excitement there was also worry. Would the movie do well? Not every cartoon lends itself to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Bayou Halfling) http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/1082 Sun, 11 May 2008 03:16:14 GMT <![CDATA[ "The Wolfman" Remake ]]> http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/1067/t/-The-Wolfman-Remake.html

All jokes aside, Horton Hears a Who was visually stunning and *very* funny! I highly recommend for kids and adults alike. An adult would have to be dead inside not to like it.

Maila Nurmi, whose "Vampira" TV persona pioneered the spooky-yet-sexy Goth aesthetic, has died, coroner's officials said. She was 85.

Nurmi created her Vampira character -- reminiscent of Charles Addams' spooky New Yorker cartoons -- to host horror movie broadcasts on KABC TV in Los Angeles in 1954. With darkly mascaraed eyes and blood-red lipstick, Nurmi... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Bayou Halfling) http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/850 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:35:24 GMT <![CDATA[ The Big Bang Theory ]]> http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/842/t/The-Big-Bang-Theory.html Now that I've watched it for a full cycle, I believe "The Big Bang Theory" TV show is currently the funniest sitcom on TV. I have to admit I do turn in for the nerd humor. When the main character heard a noise and came out of his bedroom with a weapon, and his weapon was a toy lightsaber, well, they had me forever.

Are movies like "Hannibal" and the remake of "Halloween," which serve up murder and mutilation as routine fare, actually making the nation safer?

LCD and plasma may be all the rage when it comes to current HDTV implementations, but next year should see the emergence of Laser TV, which has double the color range and costs manufacturers a lot less to produce. For us that means lower prices, or at least it should. From a performance standpoint, laser TV pretty much makes plasma and LCD look silly, but the two... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Bayou Halfling) http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/808 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 18:26:10 GMT <![CDATA[ Should You Wait For An OLED TV? ]]> http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/807/t/Should-You-Wait-For-An-OLED-TV-.html Should You Wait For An OLED TV?
OLED TV holds one key advantage: the panels are much thinner than LCD or plasma. And in a world where flat-panel TVs are looking increasingly alike, with subtle picture-quality difference, companies will be focusing more and more on the design of their TVs.
If you're waiting for something better than LCD or plasma to come along, chances are you're going... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Bayou Halfling) http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/807 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 18:25:39 GMT <![CDATA[ The Illusionist ]]> http://babelcon.yuku.com/topic/788/t/The-Illusionist.html Nothing Is What It Seems
