[Cap'n Boo from Timbuktu]

Godzilla's an innocent victim of circumstance. Sure, he's been known to flip out and destroy the odd major metropolitan area, but I know I'd probably be the same way if some nuclear accident turned me into a giant fire-breathing parody of nature. And anyhow, just look at all those times the G-Man has saved Earth from destruction--anyone who thinks Godzilla is evil should check out 'Godzilla vs. Destoroyah', wherein the big guy actually sacrifices his own life to save mankind. Sheesh.

'Astro Boy--The New Series'? Good. 'Astro Boy--The Live-Action Movie'? Not so good. Don't get me wrong, now, I dig 'Astro Boy' as much as the next man--I'm just not sure I'm excited at the prospect of seeing a little boy wearing tiny pants flying around a giant megaplex screen.
