The Great Gonzo's Catapult of Doom

If you're gonna fail, fail spectacularly. There's not much more I can say about my favorite wall in DCA, except Gonzo Rocks, Sam Eagle should do all of DCA's announcements and "Mah Na Mah Na" should become California's Official State Song.

Reviewing the Netflix Disney Films: Treasure Planet

Before I start nit-picking, I'd like to make one thing clear: Treasure Planet, Disney's sci-fi/fantasy retelling of Treasure Island, is a beautiful, entertaining film and well worth watching. It contains some of the best animated "acting" ever to appear on screen, and much of its imagery is unforgettable. It's the only family-friendly film one could reasonably file under "Steam-Punk," and it's got more imagination on display in any given five seconds of footage than most of todays sci-fi films have in their entire running length.

There are, however, good reasons the movie didn't connect with a wider audience in its theatrical run.
