Soooo sleeeeepy. Only just barely awake enough to put up a cartoon. And to dedicate it to my friend Ami.
Good night, everyone, good night.

This is becoming habit with me. Maybe I should start posting these things on Thursday? Heh. Enjoy “Other Languages Are Funny” in stunning digital color.
Vincent Macropod in “Anatomy of a Kangaroo”

Regarding this week’s cartoon: Lazy? Sure. I had something more elaborate planned, I swear, but circumstances conspired against me. Circumstances, and that laziness I just mentioned. Mostly circumstances, though, I swear! I tried to slip in a few extra jokes to make up for the paucity of art, though.
Things are calming down for me, here. I’ve taken Thursday and Friday off, and plan to make use of that time by sitting around the house watching DVDs. Rather looking forward to it, really. Wish me luck!
Have some text, or VM in Color

Listen to the Macropod. And click for “Lines of Communication” in color. I’m not so good with text. Or remembering the day of the week, apparently. Enjoy!
The Godzilla Project: A Few Thoughts on the Matter of Cloverfield
January 31st, 2008 by Reverend Matt
Tired of the jokes, the French take the Statue of Liberty back, slowwwwly
Cloverfield is an excellent horror movie.
It really works on a number of levels. The acting and dialogue are intelligent and believable; the pacing is gripping and speedy, without overdoing it; the camerawork, with its Blair Witch-like conceit, is very nicely done. Moreover, it is scary, and uses a wide variety of methods to achieve this scariness; indeed, virtually every method in the book, apart, thank Christ, from the something-jumps-out-suddenly method. There’s a scene in the darkness that is viscerally frightening, that hits you in the reptile brain. Then there’s the much-vaunted Statue of Liberty head, which really is marvelously effective, absolutely horrifying in a broad, conceptual sort of way. It is a very enjoyable movie, which succeeds in virtually everything it hopes to accomplish, and it is highly recommended.
What it is not is an especially good giant-monster movie.
