Make for the Exits!
Damn this news story is depressing. But check out the picture... that guy in the middle looks like a bounty hunter from the Mos Eisley Cantina.

American Film Institute BLAAA
It has come to my attention, as many things due, that the AFI has once again produced one of their aggravating and debate prompting lists.
THIS NEW LIST breaks down "great films" into genres and categories. This is so damned flawed. Can't a sports movie be epic? Can't a mystery be a fantasy? And by setting animation into its own category, you ignore the potential for the medium to be anything but family and kid stuff.
Hopefully these lists will prompt some feelings on the part of my fellow Monstronaughts.

In Favor of Nature
The other day as I left my office in downtown San Francisco to meet up with fellow Monstro blogger Dan Baxter for his birthday celebration in the 5th row the Giants' stadium I passed by a tree as the wind rushed through the concrete corridors of Howard St. The wind caught this tree and lifted its ingeniously designed seed pod effortlessly from the branch and carried it aloft. It floated for a few moments until settling on the cold, barren sidewalk where it would dry up and die, mission unfulfilled, thwarted by a landscape the great creator could never plan for. Then I drank tons of beer and ate garlic fries and heckled like an idiot.
