WRT Michael, news reports are conflicting. Some are saying coma, some are saying dead. I loved his music, but he was one messed up dude. His abusive childhood experiences no doubt contributed to his role as an abuser in adulthood.

Either way I don't wish death on him, so I hope he recovers.

It's a bit late for that. He's been confirmed dead by reliable sources for about half an hour now.

My, you're not obnoxious at all, are you?

Anyway, continuing discussion from last night:
Yeah, cerb, I'm one of those people who have standards beyond simple physical allure. Obviously it counts (I mean, aside from being France's first lady there's nothing that exceptional about Carla Bruni... aside from the obvious), but if there's some other significant detractor then I could care less. Case in point: Fox.
Multiple strengths is a good thing, not just standing there in a pushup with your lower lip slightly open (which seems like it's all she's capable of).
My personal favorites in no real order:
1. Kate Winslet
2. Tina Fey
3. Carla Bruni
4. Anne Hathaway <-----
5. Isla Fisher
6. Natalie Portman
7. Jennifer Morisson
8.

i'm sticking to that, but no one's letting my start an PFS.
so, guess that means i'm staying.
but still, i rarely post here. maybe once every three pages.

Any bets on how a poll asking if we should close this PfS right now and let you create the next one immediately would turn out?

i editted it right after i posted, knowing that most everyone here considers Simpsons and Family Guy "quality" TV.

but still, "serious" doesn't describe Simpsons or Family and the like- so it would still apply.

That was an amazing show. Do you know if it ever ended? I watched the first season or two and remember being highly impressed. My favorite was the episode where Jack battles hundreds of those black bug robots.

There series has "ended" but the actual conclusion of the story is still open- though there was some foreshadowing at the end of Episode XXXIII- Jack vs the Guardian.

my favorite epsidoes? too many to count, though i do love all the Jack & the Scotsman episodes.
with a few weird and wtf episodes -Jack in Wonderland & Jack in the Gassy Dragon for example- the series was chock full of great episodes.

i think only a few people- namely bugger [who should bugger off], JoshSherman (homeless guy down the road >> JoshSherman), and EvilEmpire- would vote for me to gtfa.
and the others would probably say "meh, who cares? we've had worse members."

and odds still are, once this one closes, this post would have long been forgotten, and pyr0 -or someone else- would have started another PFS regardless.

The only reason i would NOT vote you off is that someone- and it might have been josh- once said "Just leave him be, it's obvious he's trying hard to make people hate him. Don't give him the satisfaction." The reason I suspect it was Josh is that it was somebody on the site i respect enough to listen to them, which means it had to be Josh, Nder in the days we were getting along, Bolty, Snakey, 1ofchaos, Liq or Arakkis (foreverwinter)...and of those, Josh is the one most likely to both be in irc and say that.

Ghost in the Shell is an anime (create in Japan, by Japanese, etc), Samurai Jack is an american cartoon (created in the states by an american, etc).
there is a difference, so comparing GitS to Samurai Jack is like comparing Metallica to the Dixie Chics.

---

There's nothing inherently better about anime either. A lot of anime is utter dreck, just like a lot of American cartoons. If that wasn't true you wouldn't find anime influencing American cartoons, AND American cartoons influencing anime. A good full circle example is Powerpuff Girls, an American cartoon inspired by anime, and which has now given rise to a fully Japanese anime version "Demashi ta! Powerpuff Girls Z".

Therefore I think the distinction you are attempting to make is one of convenience so your original assertion (as noted, entirely subjective) can continue to stand. Knock it off. You know what it boils down to is you just like Samurai Jack a whole lot and there's nothing about it that makes it inherently superior to all other cartoons.

I'm glad you like it, I personally can take it or leave it, but I have watched it in the past. I think Ghost in the Shell is infinitely better and would always choose that over Samurai Jack.

Samurai Jack is pure art. If people have subjective preferences, that's cool, but I say...watch Samurai Jack and the Spartans, and be amazed.

i respect your opinion. i just get pretentious, because i differentiate anime from cartoons.
i've never seen Ghost in the Shell, so i'm not able to compare it to Jack. [of all the anime's i've seen, only BERSERK can come close... but they're on opposite sides of the spectrum.]

so i'll leave it at that.

Genndy Tartatovsky is Russian.
[insert 'soviet russia' joke here]
but he also did 2 Stupid Dogs and Dexter's Laboratory.

Excuse me. How many PFS have I started? That's right, 0. So go bugger off before you lose something you can't replace.
