Things on a screen  
There's a new Lunargyros page up, you can read it here.

I was gonna talk about the Oscars, wasn't I? Well, long and short of it, went "okay cool" at some of it and was disappointed at a bunch of it. Tron, Tangled and HTTYD all got shafted. :| Tron should've gotten a score nomination anyway, or a VFX award. HTTYD definitely deserved score, and I wished it'd gotten Best Animated (with TS3 taking Best Picture, ahahaa like that'd ever happen.) Tangled definitely deserved best original song. I wasn't surprised that The King's Speech took Best Picture and a bunch of the other awards, 'cause it was really good. But let's be honest...10 years from now, people will remember Toy Story 3, not The King's Speech.

Also, not that impressed with the hosts. That kids' chorus at the end was way more impressive. Bring back Hugh Jackman, he was entertaining!

Yesterday was all day at the Gnomon preview day, which went pretty well! Finally got to talk in person with the recruiter from Nickelodeon, since I've just been emailing her previously. Also said hi to the people from Thinkwell, they totally remembered the silly movie I'd worked on there. XD The cool people from Wet Design were there, as was that slightly unsettling guy. We'll see if I get any actual bites from yesterday. Speaking of, I should write Alison again...

So I gave in and watched the first few episodes of the new My Little Pony. And...yeah, I can see why people won't stop gushing about that show now. It's somehow both teeth-rotting cute and REALLY ADDICTING. HELP I CAN'T STOP. Expect ponies art from me later...

I also may need to watch (or at the very least do some studies) for a more action-oriented show...I hear Young Justice has been quite good? Anyone know if that's an action series worth seeing?

Drawing: Sooo much LG, but also fanarts...

DID SOMEONE SAY ACTION? *slams door open*

(also, pfft, Oscars, whatevs)

*rubs hands together*

YOU SHOULD WATCH:
Avatar the Last Airbender
Batman: The Animated Series
Superman: The Animated Series
Batman Beyond
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
Samurai Jack
Powerpuff Girls (no, really)
Adventure Time (no, really)
The DC Animated movies or at least Wonder Woman, Justice League: Crisis on 2 Earths and Batman: The Red Hood had the best fight scenes
Spectacular Spider-Man
Young Justice (esp episodes directed by Brandon Vietti, Greg Weissman and Jay Oliva)

YJ is great in terms of art, design and action, but they need work on their writing. As good as the actors are, some of the lines are so 'what adults think teenagers say' that it's dry and stiff. I've been forgiving them a lot since it's still the beginning but it still gets on my nerves sometime. Btw, you are very welcome to borrow my dvds :D

I WONDERED IF YOU'D SHOW UP XDDD

- Seen first season of Avatar; I should see others, or at least go back and study first season, because that was an excellent show.
- I remember little bits of Batman Beyond from when I was a kid...
- OMG I looooved Samurai Jack. PPG too, but Samurai Jack so impressed me even when I was little.
- Oh hey, Greg Weisman did some YJ eps?

Okay, good stuff to know! Maybe sometime I can borrow DVDs. XD

Wild horses wouldn't be able to keep me away from this post! Batman Beyond is just a fun show to watch because they really pushed themselves with the design and the dialogue. Samurai Jack is AWESOME, but stupid me, I forgot to put down Gennedy Tartakovsky's latest series 'Symbionic Titan' which is also awesome :D

Greg Weisman is one of the co-creators/executive producers on the show :D He and Brandon Vietti teamed up to create YJ. They be awesome <3

I need to go back and rewatch then; see how the design is. I know the design of Batman: TAS is pretty epic...

I haven't even heard of that new show from Tartakovsky, woah. :O

Yaaaay glad Greg is doing more stuff! :D
