You know, I rewatched Tim Burton's Batman and The Dark Knight.
I think a big theme of these two are how Batman and the Joker are both isolated from society, and how the both of them are the only people who really understand how each other's minds work. Think of the "you made me" sequence at the climax of the Burton films' Batman, or the "you're just a freak, like me" part in TDK.
AMERICA is founded by Christian Forefathers.... they built the very foundation of a Nation that is free.... If Islam will gain in numbers in America it is the end of Freedom America is enjoying... they will demand and enforce sharia law.... Do you think a christian can have its religion in saudi??? in muslim nation christian minorities is always at risk... while muslim in christian nation are free...
It is remarkable that Bond can’t seem to think of more than two fully “secure” works of art and so, to pad out his trinity, selects “the theory of gravity,” a non-artistic work of scientific creativity by a man who, when not contemplating the motion of the heavens, doubled as a theologian.
Man, why do people like to forget that Isaac Newton was basically a hardcore fundamentalist
I need to stress that I'm just talking about aspects of badness; the above works all have their many admirable qualities which attract people in the first place (though in the case of Anime I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what they were).
Because all anime is like Speed Racer, am I right?
I doubt this is on Steam, let alone on sale, but I think you would enjoy Riven. The world-building is nifty and the puzzles are clever without being impossible.

Aliroz should play Myst before Riven.
Probably, but I played Riven first and I think I prefer it.
Luthor sees Superman as an invasive, non-native species outcompeting the earthlings. In Luthor's eyes, superman is the enemy of humanity and he (Luthor) is defending the native pride of Earth. Clark Kent is an everyman, a perfect example of the fallible, foolish, weak, all-important human being. More to the point, he's kind of a dork.
Also, it kind of seems unfair to Lex that Lois Lane is in love with superman and Clark Kent is RIGHT THERE and in love with her dang it and this Alien gets the girl and that just ain't right. Dang it, this alien immigrant is even getting all the choice babes.
Yeah, I said it. Lex Luthor is a Kent/Lane shipper.
Also Speed Racer is amazing shut your goddamn mouth
I'd never deny that Speed Racer is pretty amazing in its own way.
I'm just saying that image is what Stephen Bond thinks all anime is like, because apparently it never occurred to him that calcifying your tastes in a certain area when you're a child is contradictory to being the open-minded intellectual that he claims to be.
Stephen Bond is senior of counsel in the firm's London office, specializing in international commercial arbitration. He has served as an advocate or arbitrator in well over one hundred international arbitrations under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, the London Court of International Arbitration, the Stockholm Arbitration Institute, the Japanese Commercial Arbitration Association, the Vienna Centre, and UNCITRAL. Mr. Bond's experience includes disputes in the energy, international joint venture, construction, technology, sales and distribution fields.
I saw some episodes of Speed Racer relatively recently, and I was like "Oh, this is what old-ass white executives parody when they think they're parodying anime in general"
The Bronze Age of CN? What were the Golden Age and Silver Age?
I'm glad you asked.
The Golden Age was the era of Cartoons Cartoons. Everything was new and fresh and experimental. New cartoons were brought in by the bushel. Creators had power!
The Silver Age started around when Staples became CEO. The zaniness was toned down a bit, more new material was brought in from other channels. Samurai Jack and Juniper Lee brought continuity to the network for the first time (well, in Jack's case, to some extent). Adult Swim happened, allowing for the Golden Age experimentalism to continue on a smaller scale. All in all, a period of maturity .
Mentally, I always put the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy with the Bronze Age of CN, largely because I associate it with the grossout humor of Chowder and Flapjack, even though it premiered in the Silver Age and only lasted a year into the bronze age.

Didn't Grant Morrison write All-Star Superman?
I know some people aren't exactly in love with him but his work has yet to truly disappoint me.

don't forget, during the Golden Age they showed reruns of The Classics too, before the media "don't focus on anything more than a few years old" mentality set in
I wish we had another Samurai Jack. A show that just has a few main characters and just puts them into different situations. Like an animated Quantum Leap.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
there is to be honest a part of me that wishes that Cartoon Network Studios were still called Hanna-Barbera, but I've ranted about my feelings about the corporate fuckery that's hurt H-B before
"It doesn't matter who you vote for, just vote" is a weird sentiment.
If you want to vote for candidates I don't agree with, I am perfectly fine with you staying home.
I am not going to support laws keeping you from voting, but I'm not gonna make you vote if I don't want your candidate to win.
by the same token, the quotation "I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it" - whoever said that, I dunno - is weird too.

True. Boomerang was also part of the streamlining process that the Silver Age did.
Today John Green gave his kidney to a dying trans teenager who he then gave enough money to live away from her abusive surrounds, and to let her transition. He then saved a lesbian couple from a car crash, and successfully defended net neutrality in the senate.
Also, my version of the Bronze Age and the Dark Age are partially concurrent.
The Bronze Age focuses more on the general trend of original programming that occurred in the late 2000s, and the end of a lot of Silver Age programming (a lot of old shows got cut down in 2008). The Dark Age refers to CN Real and their increased importing of low-quality Flash-animated cartoons. The most notable of these was Johnny Test, but there was also 6Teen, Stoked, George of the Jungle and the Total Drama series (which, I'll admit, was the best out of the lot).
The modern age, of course, starts with Regular Show and continues with, well, all current CN original programming.

It reminded me a bit of Barton Fink, in showing the mental disintegration of a failed artist struggling with ambition and popular culture.
