When I found out George Bush was playing Chim Chim I thought it would be too realistic and not as enjoyable as the original cartoon.

:lol:

so that's why the chimp looks familiar. "isn't the chimp from that football/hockey movie?? nah, it looks more like that president dude"

That was mad weird, man.

Because Netflix had a shipping delay (and also, because my brother jokingly threatened to charge me a rental fee for having it so long :hehe:), I finally got a chance to watch The Count of Monte Cristo, which I had borrowed from my brother since last Christmas. :sweat: I don't know why I didn't watch it earlier because it was a really satisfying revenge movie. I'm contemplating on getting the unabridged book because I heard that it was a lot better than the movie.

Book was written by Alexander Dumas...one of the most famous literary works in history. They even made a great anime based on The Count of Monte Cristo...it's called Gankutsuou...it was phenomenal as a visual work and won all kinds of awards.

I already have the book in my Amazon.com shopping cart. :) And there was an anime based on it? Wow, now that you mention it, it does sound like it would be a good anime story.

Nice. :) Yeah it's not a literal translation in the sense that it takes place during the same time period...Gankutsuou is a modern adaptation of Count of Monte Cristo with the same principal plot that takes place in the future...it was seriously fuggin' good. Like way good...the animation style is far out and some of the costume design was actually created by famed fashioner designer Anna Sui.

Oh no. Are you trying to get me started on anime now after I have these 200+ Jdramas to watch? :hehe: How long was that series, btw? (oops, another off-topic started by me).

On topic: I got my Netflix envelope in the mail today! I haven't opened it up yet, so I have no idea what it is. :beaten:

That'd be awesome, but it really would be watched in another lifetime since it'll probably take me my whole life to try to get through all these dramas I already have. :sweat: :beaten:
