One Man's Sushi....



You've gotta be crazy or on drugs to like Sushi. Rice, seaweed, avocado and RAW FISH? No thank you. Sure it looks exotic and it makes you feel sophisticated to say you eat it, but unless you're drowning it in hot sauce or dip of your choice, it still tastes like you drank Nemo's tank water.

I understand that sushi (or sashimi) is mostly a social dish here in North America, something that makes you look cool ordering in front of your friends, but come on! RAW FISH! I'm sure your friends would appreciate you just as much if you ordered a nice juicy hamburger. What the HELL, go for the smoked salmon if you fancy the fish.

All I'm saying is that I've tried it and did not like it. But if you like it, THAT'S YOUR PERSONAL OPINION AND I WONT PENALIZE YOU FOR IT. So go ahead and enjoy your raw fish, you look cool eating it, but sense of taste you have zero.

Oh by the way, Hellboy's at a consistent 88% on rottentomatoes.com. Now that's fresh!

**** TO CLARIFY: I made this post to illustrate how absurd it is to insult someone based on their personal opinion. Just because you don't share the same opinion on a particular Japanese dish or a 'Hell of a good movie' as that other person, doesn't mean it's a bad opinion......just different. I apologize to all of those raw fish out there--not the eaters of raw fish, just the fish themselves.******

The opinions expressed here (especially in this particular post) is that of the author and not necessarily that of the studio (particularly when it concerns large and powerfully clients that we wish to continue to do business with).

Hey check it out!
I am posting this pic that Terri Sajecki did for an Avatar the Last Airbender contest.
Terri is one of the great interns that we have here at House of Cool, helping us out on storyboards for the Bob and Doug show.
I believe this pic was done in two days (on top of the work she does for us here) and she was up until 6am this morning to complete it!!!!!!
Great stuff Terri, keep it up!!!!!

Hell of a good movie


Now that's good movie making. I love leaving a movie theater feeling satisfied in every which way. No "if only they had done this", or "it would have been better if they had done that". The Golden Army hit all the right beats. It was thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Action, Comedy, a splash of Romance. money and time well spent.
