The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

One of the very best things Homecoming did--and it did a whole hell of a lot-- was finally leaning into the joke that without buildings a Spider-Hero has to jog on the ground like a schmuck.

Half the scenes in that movie could have been accompanied by a horn going "bwah-bwah". It was pretty wonderful.

It would almost be better if he just refused to run and kept doggedly swinging along from one and two story buildings in little tiny arcs, basically pacing a modest jog.

I think that bit in the film may have been inspired by one of the classic Peter David stories, 'When Commeth The Commuter!', which is a great story to track down.

At least in Houston, you just have to walk a couple blocks to find another skyscraper since it has the city planning of someone who has never played SimCity before.

The Mighty Mouse spoof of the Chipmunks will forever live on in my heart. The 80s were overstuffed with Chipmunks, so as a little kid I was delighted that someone else hated them as much as I did.

John K. took ages to get an episode out so they basically handed production over to another animator who'd worked on the show. When the episode he finished were released on DVD, they got Kricfalusi in to record commentaries for them and he spent most of them slagging off the other guy's work and how he would've done it better.

At least that guy was able to finish the episodes, John K.

One time I did enjoy Kricfalusi was on his commentary track on the Looney Tunes Volume 1 Bluray. He did a commentary for a Bob Clampett Daffy Duck cartoon and he spent the whole time just completely geeking out in joy over every little thing that happened in the video. As I said I'm not a big fan but it was endearing how much love he had for this cartoon.

Yup, late '80s. The talent involved in that show would be unimaginable today. Besides Kricfalusi you had Tom Minton, Bruce Timm, Jim Reardon, Lynne Naylor, Andrew Stanton, and more. And of course running the whole show was Ralph Bakshi.
