    Dear Hollywood,


    Stop teasing me! I know you're trying to build hype, but making me wait forever to see this thing is just annoying. It certainly won't make me want to see this movie any more than I would have wanted to if you told me two months before the release date.


    Sincerely,


    Anekanta

    This is that show where five teenage hooligans in bird-fetish dirt bike outfits keep on ruining the world domination plans of a kindly purple transexual coyote? All Berg Katse wanted is to subjugate the human race with giant robot turtles, camels, and penguins, was that so wrong?

    I hated those kids.

    @Samson Li:


    Its kind of like saying Pinocchio is a rip off from A.I.


    Yes you sound that ridiculous.


    Please slink away and read up on some pop culture history before you use that tiny molecule of your cerebral cortical stack to try to type something on the keyboard which of course the typewriter is obviously an uninspired rehash of.


    or you know stick some firecrackers in your mouth, which incidentally in your world are pooor poor imitations of Saturn V rockets.


    This is such a case for permanent condoms, which incidentally goat skin contraceptives were inspired by the latex versions, for people like Samson's parents.

    @BullfightsOnAcid: I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers Johnny and His Flying Robot. I loved that show and there's an "official" website where you can watch almost all teh episodes legally and for free. I watched the first episode and was thrilled and ashamed that I thought that show was so good, heh.

    @rainsfather:

    I thought they looked just like the Gigantor, complete with the bad guy's pointy hair, nose, and beard.


    And the kid looked more like Ben 10 then his manga version, which is fine with me because in the manga he looked 4 years old, and mentally retarded.
