Warren Jeffs: Now He'll Be The Pie

^ Er, yeah, what he said. ^

Maybe there is stuff about the benefits of polygamy in Mormon scripture, but the Bible as far as I know never expressly condemns or promotes it. Solomon did it and it tore him seven (hundred) ways from Sunday, and in Romans (I think, but don't quote me on that), Paul says that pastors should be 'husbands of one wife'... implying that polygamy is an inconvenience at best.

IMPORTANT! ATTENTION FANS OF DISNEY'S GARGOYLES AND ANIMATION
Time
It sounds to me like simple avarice. If producing the first season on DVD isn't going to make you enough profit to justify releases of the subsequent seasons either WAIT for the demand to go up or RELEASE FEWER COPIES. It's not that difficult, Disney. You DON'T just refuse to release the second season because they didn't sale enough copies of the first.

Also, the fact that Gargoyles still airs on the family channel might have something to do with it. If you really want to sell the DVDs, take the show off the air for a while.

SUPERMAN RETURNS REVIEW
Time
Exaclty. The Fliesher cartoons are so impressive in animation just because of the era they were made in. When most cartoons were super-simplified anthro-animals, these cartoons had human beings that moved like real people. The stories were nothing to write home about, but the animation is good enough that it doesn't matter.

The Bruce Timm cartoons are from a different era. The animation is not bad, but it was a step down from B:TAS, which set the standard so ridiculously high. Superman's design was pretty good, but the lack of a Gold Emblem on the cape and the dots for eyes hurt it. Still, it looks enough like the Fliescher cartoons that you could concievably see them as hapening in the same general section of the Multiverse.

Technically, I think of the Fliescher cartoons Superman as Kal-L, the Filmation/Superfriends cartoons as Kal-El, and the Superman of S:TAS as Post-Crisis animated Superman. (After all, Superfriends ended in 1985, same year Crisis happened)

9/11 5 years later

I was in the eight grade. My school decided not to tell any of the students, that it would be best if they learned it from their parents, so I didn't know anything about the attacks until 3:00 PM. At first I didn't believe it, and all throughout the ride home I was trying to downplay the significance in my mind...

Then I turned on the TV and saw that the towers were gone... I realized that there would be a war that instant. It was Pearl Harbor all over again.
