Dexter isn't a movie.
First one felt like a twelve hour movie. And that's a good thing.

Great series. I also see you got Howl's Moving Castle on queue. Good movie.  Big Grin

Long wait. Sad It'll probably come in poor condition too.

That's a shame, a Miyazaki work needs to be viewed in high quality to appreciate the little things.

Watched The Dark Crystal today. For the most part, I was a little underwhelmed by it. It was really awesome to see all these synthetic effects as well as plenty of costumes, but the Jen really bothered me. His voice acting was beyond forgettable and his mask didn't exactly have a good animatrontics (or whatever they used to move his mouth). All the costumes and sets looked fantastic, and the music was awesome.

Eh, 3 stars.

He was a puppet. They were all puppets.

I know, excellently made as well. Shame that the Jim Henson's voice acting was a bit sub-par. Bugged me through the entire film.

You mean real effects? We're talking about the same movie, right?

Derp. I assumed synthetic was the the same thing. Probably a different word.

Season 3 is just as good as the 1st, if not better. Season 5 is godlike, from what I've heard. Haven't had a chance to see it meself.
