Not sure if anybody has seen Disenchanted (there was another topic about it), but it was reasonably funny once it got going. It's been somewhat reminiscent of Futurama (possibly because it *might* be using some of the same voice talent; been too lazy to check). Can't wait for the second half.

Also been re-watching Naruto and it's been kind of a reminder how much anachronistic details bother the fuck out of me in high fantasy settings. In this case, they're still using various ninja tools in a world that has things like tv monitors. And, while the setting clearly makes use of things like gunpowder (and whatever makes those tags explode on kunai), nobody is using guns. And, when traveling, they never seem to use things like horses, instead they just jump through tree tops (which seems less reliable than just running on the ground, since branches can break). While sure, in a fantasy world you create you can kinda do whatever, but it seems like there's a logical chain of technological progression *especially* in a world plagued by war.

I am very happy that the Universal championship is off Brock Lesnar. Granted it's now on Roman Reigns, but it is a definite improvement over the creep that is Lesnar. Now that steroided out hurt machime can freely go back to UFC and injure as many people as Dana White is willing to let him.


My only problem with Lesnar was that he was the part-iest of part-timers. He defended what, like three or four times a year? I remember the last time he had the belt when four or five PPVs went by without a title defense. At that point he doesn't look like he's the champ because he's the strongest, he looks like he's the champ because he never defends.

A mini Shield reunion happened on Raw too, and it was the only logical way to get Reigns over and not jeered as the champion. Because the crowd and all wrestling fans do not like true bore that is Roman Reigns.


He'd probably have a good heel run if they let him. He gets enough natural heat that if he was being pushed as a heel, he could make stadiums explode. (And it's ironic because all the time they were pushing Seth as the face of the Authority, fans disliked Roman because they knew that Triple H, Steph, and Vince wanted Roman as the face of the company.)

However, if they changed the guy a bit, I imagine he could probably get over on his own. They're so dead-set on getting him over their way that they've hurt him among fans. That said, he's *clearly* never going to be a huge deal.

What I did grab instead was a new copy of Barberalla: Queen of the Galaxy for $2 (which I had meant to watch for some number of years now).


Barbarella is ... a unique movie experience. Watch that and Flash Gordon back to back for the full effect (because they are made by many of the same people and look very similar despite being over a decade apart).


Watching Flash Gordon once is enough. (Well, the movie anyway. The tv show reboot I could see myself watching again, other than the fact it only got one season which was majorly depressing.)
