As for movies, it's a tie between Harold and Kumar and Much Ado About Nothing- which has Denzel Washington playing some white guy's brother, and Keanu Reeves raping Shakespeare harder that anyone ever thought possible.

Oh my gosh yes, I love this movie but Keanu Reeves is the worst Shakespeare villain ever. Did you HEAR his evil laugh? Like Doctor Horrible would say-- "that's about standards". Keanu is unable to show any emotion besides confused. It worked for the matrix (part 1 anyway) because he's playing a guy who was just thrown into a world full of stuff to be confused about. Unfortunately, Mr. Reeves, to be an actor you need an emotion count far beyond 1.

I do think by far the best display of Reeves' acting abilities is in the monologue he has in that movie. You know the, "I will drink..[insert DUN DUN DUN] when I am thirsty! AND LAUGH AT NO MAN'S LEH-SURE!"
I do have to say that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is fabulous though. I just think it's so ironic that instead of being typecasted as a moron, Keanu simply ... is! Brings a whole new meaning to method acting.
As for Total Drama Island- I had high hopes but alas I don't think it rocks that hard. Chowder however is a delightful new addition to the 'We're making cartoons during daytime hours for kids that isn't quite really for kids' cartoon thing that the network is doing recently. Props.
Cartilage Head:
The only new cartoon that has been made within the past year or so is Flapjack, mostly because it is extremely bizarre and sometimes lightheartedly disquieting.
jessco:
The most disquieting thing about Flapjack is that freakish 'Candy Wife' they show every now and then. That thing reminds me of something some serial killer would make out of skin. And then the man who had a boat powered by the anger of adolescent children?
It kind of makes you wonder how much further they're going to go on the creep-o-meter without pushing the limits of day time television. I mean, what exactly is their target audience for these shows? Considering the time they air the age requirements to fully understand all of the subtleties don't seem to match up.
Soon there'll be a "Silence of the Lambs" cartoon where Young Clarisse tries to jokingly make Young Hannibal stop eating people. And you know, with a theme song and some super hero suits, it might be pretty cool. Candy Wife could guest star with Young Jame Gumb as they put some lotion on the skin.

--- End quote ---
Excellent quote, one of my all time favourites. I'm pretty sure the quote is "lamentation of their women."
jessco:
Well you gotta give me a break here, I mean, Arnold says THE and THEIR much the same.
In Arnold talk it sounds like he says the lamentation of "THEY" women.
So I took my best guess.
