Frisky Dingo

adult swim, for those who don't know is where they show adult orientated cartoons on Cartoon Network. They had a string of hits, but lately it's been kind of hit & miss. Until Frisky Dingo that is. Frisky Dingo was created by the guys who made SeaLab 2021 and has that shows twisted humor, with a bit more of a linear story. The story follows a billionaire named Xander Crews, who also happens to be a superhero named Awesome X and his arch villain Killface. I honestly can not do the hilariousness justice by describing it to you, so I have posted the preview they showed on adult swim.



It really is great and it's only 15 mins long so it's not really a huge investment. With this show in it's second season, The Boondocks and Metalpocalypse coming back adult swim is as good as it's been in a while.

Shoot 'Em Up

While there are many categories and sub-categories when it comes to porn, the majority can be broken down in to two areas. Porn with a story, which involves a reason why the action is taking place(usually something having to do with not having enough money to pay for pizza), and gonzo, which is no story, just random scenes and no explanation as to how that donkey got into the penthouse apartment(you have your stimuli, I have mine)

Now you might be asking what in the world does this have to do with a Clive Owen movie? Well Shoot 'Em Up is another in a burgeoning line of action movies, like Crank before it, where there is a minimum of story and a maximum of action. Not that this is a bad thing. As far as my movie tastes go this is good rental material, not something I wanna pay for. Needless to say this movie left me unfulfilled.

I think the oddest things about this movie is the cast. In most gonzo action flicks the cast is a name actor who for lack of a better word is "an action guy", the hot girl and then a "that guy" as the villain. This movie on the other hand has Clive Owen, a damn good actor, and Paul Giamatti as the villain. I'll repeat that, Paul Giamatti. Oh and as the hot chick the immensely hot Monica Belluci

I guess I expected more from this movie, which is truthfully my fault because as a definition a gonzo movie isn't something you should expect much from...much like porn.
