   Large rambling post of doom!
Haha. Death Note the movie beating out the Da Vinci Code in the box office? AWESOME. I want to see it. Death Note that is... I actually read the Da Vinci Code... Decent book...do I want to see the movie? Not really.. I simply see it as a piece of commericalism garbage...I can't believe They also made video games based on it... C'mon. Once you know that Mary Madaglene is the "Chalice" and she and Jesus had children...doesn't it make the game kinda moot? And all the people who make such a stink over the religious implications of the book/movie...Lighten up... IT'S FICITION. It's kinda like a fun "what if" question. Lighten up... sheesh. If someone's faith is rocked by a simple ficitional story...Methink it wasn't strong in the first place...

HELL'S KITCHEN

Down to 3 men and 5 women? Hm. Awesome. I'd rather see Tom go, rather than having Giacamo leave. Tom is a cranky, full of crap, sexist jerk. Giacamo is rather a mop-headed moron who can't light a stove.

I don't know if having more people is good for the women though...I think in the next dinner service they'll lose... They still have alot of clumsy careless folks in the kitchen... While the men may only have 3... They might be able to have more cohenison... they'll be more stressed, but they might be better organized...however...I suspect Tom might weight them down...

Heather needs to relax a little more in the kitchen too... I think she's a little too ingraned in the "sous chef" role.

Kaleido Star

...A deceptively good anime...atleast the OVA is.

I've seen DVD's for it at Suncoast...Dunno why but the cover art looked kinda doinky....and it looked like it was going to be some sort of moe-ish anime...

...I was wrong. To say the least I was intrigued...especially by Layla's character growth in the OVA. Sora, our cannon focus looks like she could be likeable. She looks a bit stereotypical...very much an embodiment of the Japanese culutral ideals of cooperation and teamwork... I manged to find a fansub of the first episode on LimeWire and a rather nifty AMV.

The AMV has some fantastic transitions and shows some of the performances in the show... Pretty good animation... I'm intrigued... I definately want to see more of this series... It looks better than I expected.
