The Clone Wars
I went to see a sneak preview of Star Wars: The Clone Wars today.
I'll admit that I'm apart of a generation that loved the original Star Wars trilogy and could only be disappointed by the Episodes 1-3.
But this, while not recapturing the feel of the original Star Wars films for me, was a whole lot of fun. I enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed by it -- which is really the first time a Star Wars experience has done that for me since the first Phantom Menace trailer. And to be fair, it would be very, very hard to truly recapture that feel, and that's not really a fair standard.
This was recognizably something in the Star Wars universe, but something good for today as well. It's certainly something with a kids audience in mind -- but it's solid fun and definitely worth seeing if you were a Star Wars fan -- even if you have found yourself less of one after the prequels.

Weird Al Cartoons
I haven't gotten my copy of Straight Outta Lynwood yet, but apparently it has additional videos, including one by Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi. [from boing boing]
What a way to be White and Nerdy.
