Unexplained Vomiting Video Constitutional

I loved the first Men in Black movie, but I barely remember the second. This third installment looks pretty darn good, especially with Josh Brolin as a young K. I think I might need to rewatch the second one, just to see if Johnny Knoxville is the reason I blocked the movie.



Battleship is kind of confusing to me. I dislike the concept of a major action movie being made about this rinky-dink game. The result, at least after viewing this preview, looks like a Transformer rip-off, and this is only reinforced by the studio using their past success with the toy franchise to promote the movie. But I like big, summer, popcorn action flicks. A movie doesn't necessarily need a strong story to be enjoyable...just ask Live Free or Die Hard. Plus, we've got Peter Berg as director, and he's bringing along two of his Friday Night Lights actors, as well as Liam Neeson. Oh, decisions decisions.



Five dollars to legally download Louis C.K.'s latest stand-up special? To keep and view whenever you want? Why WOULDN'T you do it? Here are outtakes from the special.





I don't get these Taiwanese animated recreations, but this one involves Louis and his AMA on Reddit, so of course I'm going to post it on here.



And here's a feature on him from Nightline.



Since the announcement of Community's hiatus, Joel McHale has brought his co-stars onto his other show, The Soup, to promote a show that might not be returning and to passive-agressively attack NBC with snark. Here's the latest attempt.



I saw this a couple of weeks ago but didn't want to watch it. It's not because I love Kristen Stewart and dislike the dissing of her acting range, because I thoroughly dislike her and the Twilight franchise. I was just burned out on the whole anti-Twilight stuff. Then a buddy (thanks, Josh!) sent it to me, so I watched it, and I laughed. So now YOU can laugh as Kristen Stewart explains Christmas.



Looks like I've missed some Epic Meal Time videos. Can't say that it bothers me all that much. I'm just about burned out on it. I'm not impressed when they just throw a bunch of shit together and eat it. I like when they get creative, like with the candy sushi. That looked awesome.









I don't watch Saturday Night Live anymore. The really funny parts always end up online, so I don't waste DVR space on it. I've almost always enjoyed the digital shorts, though, when they're done by the Lonely Island guys (and I assume any short that includes Andy Samburg is by them). This past week's episode (with host Katy Perry, who is my girlfriend. Russel Brand is just a smokescreen) had a funny one, and Matt Damon and Val Kilmer are great in it.



And Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader absolutely killed it on Weekend Update.





Game of Thrones comes back in April, and I've finally got an HBO subscription. With a 60-inch TV in my bedroom, it's like I'm in a movie theater while watching TV, and I can't wait for the epicness of Game of Thrones on this screen.



This video of a dog with congenital megaesophagus using a custom-made chair to eat is somewhat mindblowing. She's been trained to know that she needs the chair to eat properly, and she knows how to get in it and close herself into it. Wow. Just wow.



I can't tell if I actually like the two songs from Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild" album I've heard, or if they're only awesome because of the videos (Otis has Aziz Ansari in it, and the video I saw of No Church in the Wild is made up of Game of Thrones clips). I think I'll see if the album is on Spotify so I can listen to the whole thing.


No Church in the Wild - Game of Thrones from mixmastermind on Vimeo.


I don't really understand why this video is so funny. This is how I fight. Am I fighting wrong?



You like Fox's New Girl, right? Sure you do. One of the reasons you like it is because of Schmidt's douche-tasticness. It's not a question, it's a fact. So this just popped up, and it's a dating video that Schmidt put together, and it's SOOOO Schmidty.



So the new G.I. Joe movie looks...watchable? It looks like all the people that nobody liked in the first movie were killed off (I WILL miss Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols) and replaced with The Rock, Adrianne Palicki and Bruce Willis, and the team is on the run from their own government. Okay, I can get behind that. I honestly don't care if it's a superficial, popcorn movie as long as it's fun. These movies need to be fun. My fingers are crossed.



I'm pretty sure I've posted some videos before by Jon Lajoie, the guy who plays Taco on The League. I've never seen this one, so I thought I'd pass it on. I can't connect with the theme, though.



I was horribly disappointed with the season finale of Sons of Anarchy, so I'm looking forward to some Justified to cleanse my FX palate...then kick the palate's ass with awesomeness.



The story doesn't look all that great, and Nick Cage's Johnny Blaze looked extremely average, but the effects for the new Ghost Rider movie look incredible. I'd rent it (doesn't look theater worthy to me) just for those.



Also, in case you've forgotten: When I can remember to add this to the bottom of my posts, I’m going to whore myself out with an impassioned plea: click on the ads. PLEASE click on the ads. I don’t care if you exit out of it immediately or actually look around. This isn’t some professional blog where I believe in the products I’m shilling. These are automatic ads placed by Google. But when you click ads, I get a little bit of money, and as a single father of three, every penny from every source helps...especially with Christmas looming on the horizon. So I’m going to keep this tiny bit of begging at the bottom of my posts, and I hope you’ll take an extra 10 seconds after reading my blog to click on an ad. The only thing it costs you is time. :) Thanks so much!

New Phone Video Constitutional!!!!

Your obligatory Epic Meal Time post. I loves me some breakfast for dinner.



The opening credits for The Office in the style of the opening credits for Dallas. They should have used this when doing the garage sale episode last season.



Jonah Hill's new movie The Sitter seems quite funny. Kind of looks like Adventures in Babysitting, except a lot dirtier. Also, since I'm such a kind a giving soul, turn your speakers down when the preview starts, or make sure you're not at work...like I was.

More The Sitter Videos

I wouldn't watch this version of Star Wars, but I'd watch this video one more time. A girl who has never seen the original trilogy tries to explain what happened.



I did not expect this to go where it went.



I would play this game.



I will watch Paul Rudd in anything, especially a Funny or Die video.

Paul Rudd Pitches Harvey Weinstein from Paul Rudd

Every time Kanye West opens his mouth, I want to punch it. I dig some of his music, though. And I like Jay-Z a lot more. So I'm not totally against this new collaboration, and I kind of like the song...that is until the end when Kanye just starts screaming in a little girl voice.



If you can get past the EXTREME!!!! douchiness of the two performers (one moreso than the other), this is some pretty awesome music. Cello duets of pop/rock songs. I think "Smells Like Teen Spirit" really works on the cello.





I'm not a huge magic fan, but I appreciate a good trick...sorry, ILLUSION, because we all know what tricks are. Here are a couple that fool even the great Penn and Teller.





With all the shit I've been through the past two years, it makes me feel very happy that I still believe in love. This video of this surprise wedding is awesome and touching and it gives me faith that love does exist (despite what Bleu sings), and y'know, I'm SOOO looking forward to finding it again.



And then there's this proposal from Chicago Comic Con this year. You can't hear the proposal unless you turn your speakers up all the way, but that doesn't matter. You need to watch it for the end. Fucking epic.



Well, it had to happen. Epic Meal Time finally did a bad video. Looks like they just kind of phoned this one in. I like them because they create these awesome (one might say epic, even) meals, but that was not the case this time.



The 25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in Film. Makes me want to go back and watch The Dark Knight again.



I knew cats were evil!!!



"Girls like bacon, and if they don't, they're probably racist." Tru dat. And after the poor showing of the meat shield,this video redeems the Epic Meal Time boys.



Holey moley, it's Ok Go and the Muppets. This is awesome.



My uncle shared this video with me and labeled it the ultimate in karaoke. I will admit, this is clever as hell.



Why have I not watched any of the non-album tracks from The Lonely Island?



I kind of have to see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance because I really like Idris Elba, but was a sequel really necessary? Or wanted? I will say this, the effects look pretty damn awesome.



Here's a super-cut song made up of movie lines that rhyme. The amount of time it must have taken to edit this was, well, I won't say it was worth it. Let's just hope the guy wasn't supposed to be doing something more important.

'Movie Line Rhymes' by Jordan Laws from ScreenWerks on Vimeo.

The Portal video game series has never interested me, but this video is pretty awesome.



There are so many things RIGHT with this clip of Extras featuring Patrick Stewart.



This verbal smack-down of Chris Brown was great.



I was so disappointed when I heard that Locke & Key was not picked up. I know a pilot was finished, and I know it was screened at SDCC this year. I hope that it somehow becomes available to the public. Until then, here's the trailer for what we can't watch.

Locke and Key Trailer 2:17 from some guy on Vimeo.

This new show from Ricky Gervais starring Warwick Davis looks great. I'm thinking more Extras than The Office. Now I want to rewatch Extras.

Comic Book Reviews for the Week of Dec. 24, 2008 (Limited Series)

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #3

So Danny is a Ghost Rider again, but he’s not at full power. And I know I said I didn’t like the idea of a Spawn-like Ghost Rider, but I’m not minding it so much now that it’s been explained. Having GR be an instrument of Heaven makes his penance stare make more sense. I wouldn’t think Hell would care all that much about penance.

Greatest Hits #4

If I had the time and inclination, I’d take a look back at Vertigo and see how many writers and artists have been British and how many haven’t. I’m betting you’re looking at at least 65% British. Not a gripe, just an observation. I wouldn’t mind seeing this continued as a regular series if that were possible. The story we’re getting is very interesting, and we’re finally going to figure out what the mystery behind the Mates is. Great art and rock-solid story telling always make for a great comic.

Punisher: War Zone #3

Y’know, for the past two issue I’ve been saying that this book is a direct pick-up from Ennis and Dillon’s last Punisher mini, but it really isn’t. I had been waiting for the humor to come back, but it hasn’t, and I’m pretty positive that it won’t. Garth is taking the series a bit more serious, and that’s not a bad thing. While I’ve enjoyed almost all of his work that I’ve read, I think his best stuff has been the serious stuff. This book definitely has the feel of the old series, it’s just more bitter than humorous.

Rann-Thanagar Holy War #8

The last issue goes out with a bang. The heroes destroyed Rann after teleporting the population to Throneworld. A people who are now believed to be dead are living on a planet whose population was killed. Fitting. Bizarro is home, which makes me wonder how he appeared in one of the Superman titles in the last month or so. I was pretty ambivalent about this mini, but seeing Synar’s new form made me think there’s a good story waiting for the character.

Reign in Hell #6

I don’t know a whole helluva lot about the DCU spiritual stuff, so I don’t know if powerful demons can actually be killed, but it sure looks like Neron is dead. That leaves Blaze and Satanus as the new rulers of Hell rather than just Purgatory. I have no idea how that will affect things. Are we supposed to get some proactive Hell stories throughout the DCU in the future? Will this have anything to do with Blackest Night? Only time will tell.

Dark Tower: Treachery #4

It seemed there was a little more meat in this issue than in issues past, a bit more narrative. That’s a good thing since the issues seem to go by so fast (and I don’t read the prose in the back). Roland has finally given up the grapefruit, but is it too late for him? Well, we know it’s not since we’ve read the books. There wasn’t any mention of Cort’s niece, and I can’t remember where we left her last issue. I hope the Del Rey books are just as good as the Marvel ones when King switches over. I loved Lee’s portrayal of Farson. Other than mentions of him in the books, I never really formed a good picture of him in my mind. I’ll take Lee’s. It was beautiful.

Trinity #30

Okay, so the legends of the aliens’ God is starting to make sense. This whole damn thing is Krona’s fault. But the Trinity are energy beings now, or are they abstract concepts given form, forms that we as readers are familiar with? I think it would be pretty cool if DC were to market a couple of Tarot sets featuring the villains and the heroes that are in this comic. Didn’t Vertigo do that with Sandman? Get some popular artists to do the art, have Busiek write a manual, and make it a limited collectible. Well, I think it would be neat.

Ultimatum #2

Wow. Pretty powerful and disturbing issue. Let’s do a rundown. The Hulk is helping Spider-Man. Why isn’t he eating anyone? I guess that’ll be addressed in the next issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. Reed and Doom are going to the Squadron Supreme universe to get Fury back. I wonder how that will impact the Squadron Supreme book, and if any of this stuff will happen in that book. That’d be pretty neat. Cap is in Valhalla, so he’s dead. I wonder if he’ll stay that way or if Black Panther will take up the mantle since Steve did the opposite in Ultimates 3. Since when was Blob a cannibal? That was damn disturbing. So Wasp is another casualty. And then the big one at the end, the death of Professor X. I definitely didn’t see that coming. And how did HE not see it coming? This really is shaking up the Ultimate universe.

Unknown Soldier #3

Jesus Christ this is a brutal and uncompromising comic. Kidnapping girls from a Catholic school so the boy soldiers can have wives. That’s rough. And our hero has to kill those boy soldiers, boys who have had no choice but to do this, who have lived their entire lives in the shadow of this war. It hits you pretty hard.

Comic Book Reviews for the Week of Nov. 26, 2008 (Mini-Series)

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #2

Okay, I like how they are portraying Danny as a junkie, complete with withdrawal symptoms and even a suicide attempt. I’m not so sure how I feel about the Ghost Rider of different cultures. I understand that it has been introduced that there have been other Ghost Riders in the past, but this just smacks of Spawn and his various past (and future) incarnations. But I guess it does make sense, but it’s still pretty derivative.

Reign in Hell #5

I’m confused on the whole Lobo thing. How long has he been in Hell? How long has a doppelganger been running around? And are we supposed to believe that an enraged Zatanna has any type of shot against him? I wouldn’t think so.

Secret Invasion: Inhumans #4

Not all that surprising of an ending. The good guys won, the bad guys lost. I guess the big news for Inhumans fans is the engagement of Crystal and Ronan (I’m guessing Quicksilver won’t be too pleased about this), Maximus and Black Bolt ruling together, and the alliance with the Kree. As a sometimes spectator of the Inhumans, I’m not that moved by it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Black Bolt dispatch his Skrull tormentor, though. That was neat.

Secret Invasion: X-Men #4

Mmm, not a bad issue, but really not that original at all. We basically got the mutant version of “War of the Worlds.” And the ending seemed to be straight out of X-Factor’s part of the Fall of the Mutants crossover two decades ago. I didn’t much care for the art, until we got some close-ups. Everything else seemed to be a bit washed out. I’m looking forward to the last issue of Secret Invasion to see how the whole shebang plays out.

The War That Time Forgot #7

This title snuck up on me. I’m familiar with only one or two characters and I’ve got no clue what’s going on, but it’s just a good, engaging story. The giant spiders this issue were a shock, but I guess that’s not much different than the dinosaurs. With everything starting to come to a head, I hope we learn what the hell is going on. Are the aliens studying how these guys fight in order to plan for an attack? Hmm…

True Believers #5

Well, this wasn’t a bad mini. It was actually pretty decent. But the concept seems very limited. Maybe when there is a major event they can hook up with Frontline, but otherwise I don’t see much more use for them than I do for NFL SuperPro.

Unknown Soldier #2

Is this how all of the Unknown Soldiers have been? Is each series/story about a different person, or has the Unknown Soldier always been the same character until now? Eh, it doesn’t matter. This is a great book. It really pulls at your heart then sickens you, and that’s mostly because of the children, their indifference to death met on the road or as soldiers killing nuns. I also like being able to see Soldier’s hallucination. He doesn’t inherently know how to fight; he’s being told. I’m looking forward to him kicking some ass next issue.

Comic Book Review for the Week of Oct. 22, 2008

Cream of the Crop

Amazing Spider-Man #574

Truth be told, I didn’t have high hopes for this story going into it. A war story about Flash Thompson? Whoop de frickin’ do. But it was very well written, very good. Actually, the only problem I had with it were the Spider-Man panels used to mirror what Flash was going through. I don’t think they were necessary. Spider-Man has always been almost as much about his supporting cast as it is about him. A Flash story like this could definitely stand on its own without any assistance from the title character. But I will be happy when Spidey’s revised history is explained. Last I knew, Flash had amnesia resulting from Norman Osborn trying to kill him. Yeah, he was the gym instructor at Midtown High while Peter taught there, but he didn’t remember being good friends with him. He still treated him like Puny Parker. I hope this fact is explained, or I hope somebody sets me straight if I’m forgetting about Flash getting his memory back. I like that they brought up Flash’s military background. Some of the oldest ASM comics I have were in the early 100s, when he first got back from Viet Nam.

Daredevil #112

We finally get a taste of current happenings in the Marvel Universe as we get a flashback of a Hand soldier witnessing the reveal of Elektra as a Skrull. And Daredevil isn’t necessarily the reason for Lady Bullseye’s excursion to America, he just seems to be a distraction. The Black Tarantula and Iron Fist are also targeted by the Hand, but right now we’re not sure why. They’re just told they’re being tested for something. Matt and Dakota both feel bad about what happened the previous night, but I bet it’s pretty easy to guess who feels the guiltiest. All this plus Matt’s arrest for a murder Lady Bullseye framed him for. I wonder if this book would be any good if Matt just had a day off, or at least a day when the world didn’t shit on him. I don’t think that’s happened at all since Smith started this series.

G.I. Joe #0

Okay, this is how you tease for a series. I grew up with the Joes. I saw all the cartoons, watched the movie, and collected the action figures. I didn’t follow the original Marvel series, but I picked up a few issues here and there. When Devil’s Due picked up the series I stayed around for a bit, but it was a bit corny for me. I ended up watching some old episodes of the cartoon on Cartoon Network, and realized that the show didn’t grow with me. The three stories in this preview issue show that they’re getting a bit away from corniness. We’ve still got the codenames, but this is looking more like CBS’s "The Unit." I’ll definitely be around for the first issue to see how this plays out. Yo Joe!

Hulk #7

I usually don’t care too much to regular sized comics with back-up stories because that means I’m getting less of the main story. And this time that meant less Art Adams artwork, which I see far too little of as it is. But it worked this time. Since Banner doesn’t have his own book, I guess he needs to be featured too. His transformation into Joe Fixit doesn’t sit well with me, though. Just because he’s in Vegas, that’s the Hulk that is called forth from Banner’s shattered psyche? I hope Moon Knight takes the hint and packs it up. I’ve never liked the character, and I don’t think he’d be anything but a distraction to any color Hulk. I liked the back-up story. Again, Loeb is pulling from earlier events and building on it to have a bit of a girl’s night out with Shulkie, Thundra and Valkyrie to find Rulk, which they do, and they promptly get their rock-hard tushies handed to them.

Superman: New Krypton Special #1

What a surprisingly good read. And I didn’t have to be knee-deep in recent Superman knowledge to follow it. It starts off with Jonathan Kent’s funeral and Martha telling Clark to go be Superman. Supes then travels to Kandor and speaks with Zor and Alura about the future of all the new Kryptonians on Earth. I think having all these Supermen and Superwomen on Earth should make for some very interesting stories and should touch every corner of the DC universe. The book starts with death and ends with life, as someone who was thought to be dead recruits Luthor into a special anti-Kryptonian group. There was good flow between the stories, and the artwork was vastly different, so there were no jarring scene changes. Looks like Superman has interesting times ahead.

Ultimate Spider-Man #127

This book is mostly Peter thinking to himself, so it’s pretty wordy. Eddie goes to Peter to make him get the symbiote back for him, and Peter spends most of the issue trying to figure out what to do. Oh yeah, and Gwen is apparently not dead. That should cause all kinds of craziness and hilarity...and carnage. She’s not dead and she’s Carnage. Peter just can NOT catch a break.

Unknown Soldier #1

Wow, this is powerful and moving stuff. I think I can safely say that I do not have the constitution, the right frame of mind to be a relief work in a war-torn country like Uganda. I just wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’ve never read a story with the Unknown Soldier in it before, but I always assumed it was one person. It actually looks like a sort of Captain Universe thing, where the instincts, the knowledge comes to the person who needs it most. It’s going to be interesting to see how it uses the doctor, and what if anything can be accomplished.

Leftovers

Captain America #43

I wasn’t a fan of Captain America before this current series started, so I don’t know much about the intricacies of his history. Before Brubaker made him the Winter Soldier, was Bucky this much of a badass, or is continuity being rewritten? I notice it most in the Avengers/Invaders mini-series, but we get a bit of it here, too, with flashbacks. I find Batroc the Leaper to be a ridiculous concept and character. So he’s a master of a French martial art. Big whoop. Okay, I couldn’t take him in a fight, granted, but I would expect almost any hero to be able to take him. He doesn’t even have a utility belt, a shield, an iron fist, nothing. He’s just a normal guy who can jump and kick. I think had Bucky not been sucker-zapped, the fight wouldn’t have lasted much longer.

Criminal #6

Decent issue. It’s refreshing every now and then to read a comic book without any superheroes or villains in it. All the pieces fall into place this issue, and we’re left waiting for a resolution. This isn’t a book that I just have to read first each week that it arrives, but I’m usually never disappointed by the story.

DC Universe Halloween Special #1

I’ll say it every chance I can: season 5 of Angel was the best season of television ever! And what do we get in the first story, none other than Cinco, the Luchadore/Wolfram and Hart intra-office mailman! Of course, that was the most interesting thing about that story. It was weird. It had a beginning, and it had an ending, but I think someone forgot the middle. All in all, these stories are really too short to accomplish anything. The story with Felix Faust and his dad was decent, as was the Elongated Man story, but I find it’s difficult to do more than an average story in these types of books.

Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #1

Okay, I’m slightly hooked for the moment. Danny Ketch was always my Ghost Rider, never Johnny Blaze. By the time I started reading comics, Johnny had already come and gone, and it wasn’t long before Danny came on the scene. That being said, I was never a big fan. The grim-and-gritty heroes never did it for me. So I never knew what happened with him. I never knew that Blaze was a long-lost brother. I never knew that he was never Zarathos. Even not knowing that, the taste of GR we got this issue whetted my appetite for a little more. Who knows, this may get me to do a little back-issue research to bone up (no pun intended) on my GR history.

New Avengers #46

This is another flashback before the Invasion. The story focuses on the Skrulls’ infiltration of the Hood’s criminal group. Really, the only relevant piece of information is where the Hood’s hood comes from. It’s still a solid script by Bendis and some good looking artwork by Billy Tan.

New Warriors #17

Passable story. I still can’t get everyone’s codenames straight, let alone who they really are. It might help if the codenames were used at some point in the comic rather than only on the credits page. There’s a bit too much bitching and in-fighting and not really enough story. Okay, we get it, Jubilee, sorry, Wondra, doesn’t trust Thrash. Do they have to fight about it every single issue? Let’s just see more reasons why we don’t want this Stark-controlled fascist future.

Trinity #21

It’s an origin story, so it’s not all that great, but Despero is found out by Enigma and Morgaine, and John Stewart is fighting himself in order to control what’s inside him. I think there was definitely more meat in the back-up story, but Bagley’s art sold the main story for me. He gets more and more comfortable in the DC universe with each issue.

Wolverine: Manifest Destiny #1

I think this issue might have been better had I been reading Wolverine since he got his memory back. Or maybe not. Maybe all I need to know is that he got his memory back and remembered something that happened in San Francisco’s Chinatown. So if that’s all I need to know, then the comic does a great job of conveying that in only a few pages. The art looks like a blatant ripoff of Leinel Francis Yu. I had to check the credits to make sure it WASN’T him.

Xena/Army of Darkness: What, Again? #1

This series picks up right after the previous mini, and it’s pure campy fun. Any fan of the Evil Dead movies or the Xena TV show should like these. Brandon Jerwa and Elliott Serrano do a great job of really getting the feel and voices for these characters. And Miguel Montenegro draws a very good Bruce Campbell. Xena and Gabrielle could be stock character faces, but you can definitely tell Ash and Autolycus are Bruce Campbell. If you’re looking for a high-brow story, though, pick up something else. This is just pure fun.

Compost

Guardians of the Galaxy #6

What a letdown from something I had such high hopes for. When I got to the end, I thought I had skipped some pages. That all happened that quickly? Where did Major Astro end up after everyone was revived? We only saw him in two panels when Aleeta was knocked out by Quill (really? Isn’t he/she pretty powerful?). What was really cheap, though, was the same schtick being used four times! Did we have to go through EVERYONE barging in and attacking everyone with the Skrull defectors? I’m hoping the next issue will pick it back up. I want to see what Vance and Starhawk are doing here.

Thor: The Truth of History #1

This was a decent enough story, but the underlying premise made it crap to me. Which is too bad, because Alan Davis is surely doing his best work ever, at least in regards to his pencil work. But seriously, Laurel and Hardy arguing over the age of the Great Sphinx? Thor immortalized in hieroglyphics on it? No, no thanks, sir.

Thunderbolts #125

It almost seems like Gage was coasting on this one. Hell, the last half of the book was cribbed word-for-word from scenes from Secret Invasion #7. It’s almost like he was doing as little as possible since someone else is taking over next month. And Fernando Blanco wasn’t much better. Frankly, his characters were somewhat ugly. Backgrounds were almost non-existent. Was this work by a lame-duck creative team?
