I believe that rRoS is on the Golden Jubilee 14 Karat (carrot??:)
collection of Bugs Bunny. (Blue cover) OR it may be on the Salute
to Chuck Jones tape.  I have both and I can't remember which one
it's on, but I know it's on one of them.

"Point of View."  Actually, Bullock wasn't corrupt, just
overenthusiastic (or his watch was fast).  Anyway, he blew the bust,
and lied when questioned about it.

He's just a hard-nose, willing to play fast with the rules.  In
today's episode, the questioning of the zoo guard was quasi-legal at

The Japanese word "anime" is short for animation.

Now the story that anime come from French, is stretching it a bit.
It is easy for some to think it is French, thinking the final e as
an accent agiu, but like most Japanese borrowed words, they are
contractions from the origianl English.

For example;
Personal computer becomes "paasucom" (perscom)
Word processor becomes "waapro" (wordpro)
The Nintendo Family Computer (the first NES) became "famicom"

Such is the case for animation- "anime", from a-ni-ma (may).


Please don't call it "Japanimation". There are racist overtones in
the stressing of the "Jap" (gomen) part of the word.

Not one to start a war, but:

Yes, TTA does pay homage to the classic WB toons at times (considering the 
fact that the original toons are their teachers), but more often than not
the storylines are quite fresh and enjoyable and are a welcome addition
to the WB family. If you are shocked, then you really need to watch more 
than one episode of TTA to understand what makes it different from the
classic LTs. 

Having grown up with Looney Tunes, and now TTA, I can enjoy the differences
in the two without being too critical when a LT reference or homage shows up
in TTA. Some routines never die, they just get funnier with age (and a new
group of characters).

I REALLY liked this one!  For one thing, I appreciated the characterization
of Catwoman, with whom I was becoming rather disappointed of late.  In her
last two episodes she was relegated to damsel-in-distress roles, and did very
little fighting -- here, while she did end up in danger to be rescued, at least
she did _something_ beforehand.

I also loved the scene where Batman reveals who he is -- that Batman voice is
so distinctive that I truly gasped when he started talking in his normal
voice -- he just said one word, I don't remember what the word was, but it
was great.  And when the light swung back and forth to reveal a Batman
silhouette, it was truly chilling.  Great episode!

Yeah, as a fellow reader of folklore I thought it was pretty funny how all
those local TV entertainment reporters (and not a few national ones) were
commending Disney left and right for "PC"ing Belle and making her a strong
female character, considering all the plot points they singled out for praise
came straight from the classic version of the story.

Yes, I'm perfectly serious--that IS how he got it.  To clear this up before
somebody makes the objection, tho, I'm not saying that he necessarily
grabbed it because he saw the sharp edge and somehow *knew* he was going to
be tied to something.  He grabbed it to use against Harvey's weakness, his
obsession with the coin.  The basic plan goes like this: I get the coin, 
Harvey puts me into some kind of insidious death thingie and moves to a safe
distance, I say, "Yoo hoo, Harv, look what I've got," and he has to disable the
machine and move within striking range to get the coin.  It's something
that's happened in the comics a few times.

As for proof: if Bats was really making a break for it, his first move would
have been to attack those twins, who were closer to him and more threatening
than Two-Face.  The fact that he lunged for Harvey, knowing the twins would
quickly grab him again, proves he was going for the coin.

P.O.V.  No corrupt cops that I can recall, but one very pushy Internal Affairs

In VENDETTA, there is a scene with Bullock and Gordon discussing the
graft-taking accusations made a few years back against Bullock.  Bullock
says he was set up, and Gordon believes him, but still...

Frankly, I find the whole Poison Ivy character to be weak. She runs around

can buy some of the technologically based inventions the bad guys think up
but incredible drugs to turn people into trees (and back) and killer
fighting plants is a little too cheesy for me.

Well there are 2 ways to look at the giant penny. First, the 2 guys it
landed on were a lot bigger than Batman, and putting them both together
gives you a lot more mass to absorb the impact of the penny. Therefore, they
could have survived something that would have killed Batman. Or, the
way I like to think of it, they were both killed! Of course, they can't
show blood and all that other nifty stuff in the afternoon, but I think
it can be left up in the air whether those guys died or not. They kind
of did the same thing to the twins that Two-face was using in his
revenge scheme episode. They weren't shown to be actually dead, but it
is a reasonable assumption. 

All in all, I thought this was a fantastic episode. I'm glad they are
showing the Penguin to be the super-genius that the comic book portrays
him as....notice that he was the one closest to figuring out where
Batman came from.
Also, are we to assume that Two-face is using the same coin all the time?
It's getting a little worn!

While I prefer "anime", I have to disagree with this.  I've seen many Japanese
manga that say "anime" on them.  Unless the term was coined in the US in the
late 70's or *very* early 80's, it must be of Japanese origin.

  Yep, the voice was Adam West's alright.  That's why so many people were

Who Censored Roger Rabbit? was by Gary K. Wolf.

Actually, the movie is very little like the book.  The book is based
on comicstrips, not animation: the cartoon characters pose for photo
sessions to create the strips, and they speak with dialog bubbles in
the real world.  And Roger is a much grayer character in the book.

Wolf has written a sequel: Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?  And this
book is a strange hybrid of the original book and the movie.

At least one more book should be forthcoming.
