I'd give that show a try. I remember reading good things before, but it never made my list for whatever reason. Have you continued watching Gunslinger Girl or have you given up on it?

Ok, so it's not tonight, but I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox last week with my family and we all loved it. Great story, great stop-motion animation, just all around fantastic (heh). Whenever someone in a regular Wes Anderson movie would be cussing, they substitute the swear work with "cuss", i.e. "Are you cussing with me?" and "What the cuss?"  So rent/buy and enjoy this masterpiece.

Peter, thanks for reminding me. I wanted to see that movie when it was in the theater, but didn't get a chance. I enjoy the works of both Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl.

I saw it in the theater over Christmas with my folks. The movie was good!
The theater was horrible, though! We got there early enough and sat in the middle. It was one of the main screens and everything seemed good. Well, the movie started and it sounded like everyone was talking in a tunnel. I had a very hard time understanding the dialogue all the way through. Turns out, so did my parents. On the way out, I put my hand up against the wall and felt concrete. I scanned all the walls and saw there was no cover or anything. No wonder the sound was horrible! It was bouncing around all over the place in there.
I'm eager to watch it again at home so I can understand some of the jokes and other dialogue.

Oh man, the pressure is on now!
The thing I liked best was the new take on Sherlock Holmes and kinda showing how his thought process works.

Oh, and it's definitely geared toward the action-oriented audiences, while still trying to make things a mystery. It was a fun movie.
