I went to the first night of the Genndy Tartakovsky retrospective at the Egyptian Theatre which was quite cool. I had never seen the Emmy-winning one-hour “Birth of Evil” episode of Samurai Jack.<\/i> It is much better than most animated features in the Theater. Genndy pretty much verified my concerns about Cartoon Network without directly saying it–they are<\/b> becoming a corporate manufacturer of the same crap as everyone else. They seem to be heading in the direction of becoming Nick 2. Let’s hope that changes. He said Astroboy<\/i> is basically in limbo, so it may be a long time (if ever) before it gets made. I also saw Steamboy<\/i><\/b> this weekend which I liked VERY much, much like I knew I would. Otomo does not let me down. I hope to see more Steamboy stuff, be it animated or in comic format. Three puppet shows and a trip to the beach. It was a busy weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
