I don't have cable right now so I'm rewatching old shows and movies. A lot of them are animated. Such is my way. I'd like to have a nobler reason for rewatching them--something like when James 
Let's say you're the newly-sentient internet. How would you decipher
the meaning of all the bits and bytes whizzing past you? And what about

RIP, Kihachiro Kawamoto
It's a sad week for animation with the passing of Satoshi Kon and now Kihachiro Kawamoto. A student of Jiri Trnka, Kawamoto created beautiful stop motion puppet animation grounded in Japanese bunraku and Noh theater. Here's his short, "Oni / The Demon."
From Arthur To Orin
LBFA Presents: The History of Aquaman Explained!
Shaft vs. Scarface
Shaft vs. Scarface, and other comics based on (mostly 80s) movies that should be.
Frankenstein Roams the Fairgrounds
The ever-excellent Frankensteinia looks at a time when Frankenstein's creation roamed the fairgrounds.
The Pond
Before the CIA there was The Pond, and it seems like something Warren Ellis made up: "The head of the Pond was Col. John V. Grombach, a radio producer,
businessman and ex-Olympic boxer who kept a small black poodle under his
desk."
Comically Vintage
"Meanwhile... a hideous group of subversive paleocomicologists plotted plotted schemes in the dark!!" Those schemes come to fruition in panels scanned at Comically Vintage!!!
NES Groove
Do you enjoy the music of NES games? Well, there's a show just for you. This time, the music of "Fester's Quest."
A Little Busier Thinking about Comics
In fact, how about another piece by Colin. This one suggests that Warren Ellis' The Authority has a lot in common with SuperFriends., writing that it is "the last true heir of the Silver Age." That boom you hear is Warren Ellis' head.
Another Interview with Ray Harryhausen
The BBC has a nice interview with Ray Harryhausen, Stop-Motion and SFX Overlord!
Bruce Lee's Kato
Kato was the star of the old Green Hornet. Cinematical has Bruce Lee's screen test for the role in the original 1960s tv series. And you can enjoy Batman and Robin vs. Kato and the Green Hornet in the Batman live action series. (via Shelf Life Clothing Company).
Quien es La Pantera Negra?
La Pantera Negra is on the prowl in this trailer for Iyari Werrta's stylish tribute to 1950s and 1960s Mexican films. Catsuits! Fedoras! Flying saucers! Suspenso! (via SF Signal).
RIP, Al Williamson

RIP, Kazuo Ohno
Kazuo Ohno has died at 103. He was a great performer of Butoh, a Japanese dance drama form, and even if dance is not your thing, Japanese horror movies and possibly contemporary supernatural horror wouldn't be the same without him.
Stranded in the Jungle
Die, Danger, Die, Die, Kill! was stranded in the jungle for the month of May. Enjoy Todd's reviews of jungle adventure movies, including a lot of South Asian films and guys dressed up as gorillas.
NYAFF 2010
The New York Asian Film Festival is coming up and actors Sammo Hung and Simon Yam will be in attending their films Kung Fu Chefs, Bodyguards and Assassins, Echoes of the Rainbow and Eastern Condors. But even if you can't make it, it's worth checking out the films and trailers for the Hong Kong/China and Korea/Thailand/Indonesia line-ups. Yes, Merantau will be playing. Plus, giant killer pig!
Batman XXX Trailers
Two Batman XXX trailers. Looks like the movie will have all the style and flair of the 1960s tv show, with nice production values, dutch angling, plus porn. Strangely, [SFW].
RIP Frank Frazetta
Fantasy and comic artist Frank Frazetta has died. The world of fantasy art with ladies in metal bikinis and gentleman in fur speedos will be much the poorer. We say that with great affection. (via SFSignal)
"Tresspassing on Sacred Ground"
As part of TCM's Race & Hollyood: Native American Images on Film" festival, Movie Morlocks has posted part 1 of an essay on Native Americans in horror movies from The Werewolf a 1913 Canadian silent to J.T. Petty's The Burrowers and Twilight: New Moon: "The inclusion of Native Americans into
actual horror movies boils down to a scattering of reliable formulas: Whites Trespassing on Sacred Grounds, Vengeful Redskins, Ecology and Racism." (via GCDB)

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Science Fiction Again
It's been years since I've read any straight-up science-fiction. You know, the classic stuff by authors like Arthur C. Clarke or Robert Heinlein or Isaac Asimov. But I got
back into it recently through A.E. Van Vogt, having picked-up a used copy of Empire of the Atom.

Terry Pratchett Talks About Doctor Who
Terry Pratchett talks a little trash about Doctor Who: "The unexpected, unadvertised solution which kisses it all better is known as a deus ex machina - literally, a god from the machine. And a god from the machine is what the Doctor now is... And yet, I will watch again next week because it is pure professionally-written entertainment[.]" (via SFSignal)
