no, they had anime on Telemundo (ch 41 and 47) and also WWF wrestling. they had a shitload of american programming on there, the commercials were in spanish and they had spanish subtitles, but they even had alternative WWF matches just for Telemundo. but it was all in english. G Force and Shogun Warriors was my jam for anime.
Voltron before Voltron.

White version Asian is actually often fairly difficult in art. skin tones are the same. largest feature variance gets blown apart by cartooning. Eyes, etc. you have to go SUPER RACIST to make it noticable. the brown-black hair thing, of course is not super visually interesting either. so, anime just gives everyone more interesting hair colors.

damn, dude, you missed a lot of good 80s programming. there was channel 31 which had other PBS stuff they didnt show on 13. thats where i watched Zoom. there was channel 50 which had the Uncle Floyd Show. then there was WHT which was a weird kind of broadcast cable channel, which showed normal movies in the daytime and softcore porn at night, it was scrambled if you didnt have the cable box, but you could see stuff on it when the screen would unscramble. in the mid 80s WHT went away and it became U68. a music video channel. at night it had Metal Mania which had all the metal videos that never made it to MTV.

yeah i mean if anime wanted to be realistic it'd be 100% 5 foot nothing women with small tits, black/brown hair, and brown eyes. such diversity, much wow.

I watched this for a second time and felt noticeably more positive about it the second time. I was all in on the overhype train the first time, mostly my own fault. I enjoyed the back half much more than the first time through. The first half I find almost impossible to dislike.

In my corner of Texas in the 70's there was no UHF channels, either. We had the big 3 ABC/NBC/CBS and occasionally we would get PBS from Houston (and Lake Charles NBC/CBS/ABC but that was the *exact* same thing as Beaumont/Port Arthur). They did air Battle of the Planets, though at 5:30AM/6:00AM at one point so I trundled my ass up to watch it, pre-VCR, for 12 or so episodes. So amazing for the time. Nothing else like it, Barring Johnny Quest/Space Ghost, which also aired at weird times occasionlly, IIRC. SuperFriends was a Saturday morning staple but nothing seemed to have that long of a shelf life. If it lasted two or three years, it was forever in TV time back then. Now everything makes money and even the bad shows have 3 seasons. Unless you are on Netflix. <gank>

It wasn't until we got Showtime/The Movie Channel/HBO/Cinemax that we really got to see many anime movies, ala Shogun Warriors, at all; and that was just features in the 80s. Series weren't a thing until the mid-90s, again IIRC. Neon Genesis Evangelion was the first one I remember seeming to break through but that was long after JQ, Gatchaman, Speed Racer, etc.

Ive kept it on as backround entertainment it a stupid fun movie. Expecting GOTG 1 was not a good plan.

Sucks that a few minor tweeks to the movie could have made it 10x better

I liked it but didn't love it, was better than Blackwidow. Had the women save the day ending, but at least still had competent males in it.

Harley was best part of the movie and they really progressed her character. She has had series of phases she has gone though over the years. First as the Jokers sidekick, then as his ex girlfriend with everyone trying to save her from the Joker. With the idea that that would somehow fix her. Now she has moved past that and she is shown to be just messed up as Joker is only with a more chaotic bent as opposed to chaotic evil of Joker.

Was nice to see them make a coherent choice of making her crazy because keeping her in the ex girlfriend role really limited her development wise. They have managed to successfully transitioned her into Deadpool just in time for Margo Robbie to quit.

The fact that they came out with the same movie two times in like the last 4 years has me never wanting to see this... but then, all the good reviewers are saying its great. This is a dilemma.

its ok, its nothing amazing but its not awful. some fun, stupid stuff and some stupid, weird stuff. Its probably one of the most comic book ass comic book movies so if you like comic books its kinda interesting to see it with that angle.

its not going to be on anyones top 10 anything lists.

God DC has such shit characters compared to MArvel. Look at that picture of 50 of their biggest names and maybe 3 are good sometimes. Marvel has 50 characters just in the Xmen branch better.
Pretty much. But DC has Batman. And he will always be king.

its better in some regards than the first version of SS, this movie is the Harley show. if you like watching her in less sexy clothes than the last movie and now she's an immortal for some reason for 2hours, check it out
