Anderson's Three Musketeers movie was shockingly bland for being about kung fu French swordsmen on Final Fantasy airships. Read more

You're right (although in my defense the Legoland Hotel Carlsbad site has it wrong). Should be fixed now. Read more

And before the many, many people who are scandalized and appalled I call the multiple of Lego "Legos" instead of Lego's preferred nomenclature "Lego bricks," let me assure you I don't give a damn and will call them Legos for as long as I draw breath. Read more

Which is why UY works out so much better than Ranma or Inuyasha. There's no overarching plot, just a new crazy situation every single episode/comic. Read more

I appreciate the kindness, seriously. Read more

Well played, sirrah. Read more
