i watched this disney movie tonight. it was called Dinosaur. ok wait, before that, i watched a tv show called "The Practice", which i should mention. my dad's a lawyer and he doesn't like me watching law shows because he says they're full of shit (and he's right). and i don't watch these shows, usually, or tv at all. so there's that. and then there's the fact that this show is particularly bad for canned drama. ie tonight's episode was not only an EPIC crossover with "Boston Public" (presumably another asinine hour-long drama), but it also had one of the main characters go into labour and deliver a baby in the courtroom. this happened, on my clock, between 10:47 PM and 10:53 PM. yes, it was like a 6 minute labour and delivery ALL INCLUSIVE, and there was even another unrelated scene in the middle.

this just brings me to the point that tv is generally created for the purpose of making more tv. and of course it ties in with comics, which are made for the reason of selling more comics. like, ooh, cliffhanger! you'll have to watch Boston Public to see what happens to your BELOVED character from The Practice. or fucking Wolverine is kissing Jean Grey at the end of this issue or on the cover of the next one, so OOOOH, you better pick it up.

so my original point was about the movie Dinosaur. me and my friends said the word "twat" entirely too many times while watching it. and i think the 6 minute non-scientific labour in The Practice foreshadowed this entire movie's substitution of Family Fun for science and anthropology and whatnot. nice movie, Disney. too bad it sucks ass.

this is probably too much of a departure from what jacob has been talking about. oh yeah, jacob invited me to contribute to this. now we're playing for the same team. i don't have much interesting to say, ever, except cranky bitter ranting, but maybe that will change eventually.
