Is it possible to link the title to the entry in the encyclopedia? Yeah, I know I can search for it myself. It's more of a convience thing more than anything.

That doesnt just apply to this one, but any future ones you do? You don't have to it with the previous ones, as that would probably be too much work.

Now that's probably the most ridiculous plot device I've ever heard. If the military is doing nuclear testing I don't think they would give a s&*t as to what life was in the ocean old or new.
If a endangered speicies was found in the waters where they were doing the testing and it was made public, naturally they'd pressured not to go ahead with the testing. Geez, it's not that much of a stretch.

Having seen the film about a decade ago, I'm not sure why it's getting so much flak here. It's an OK film, but not the "so bad it's good" type film people are making it out to be. If you want stuff like that, Harmony Gold's dubs of "Sovereign Of The Damned" and "Run for Life" are prefect, both in awfulness of original material and English adaptation.

I find it interesting that you claim "No medium can do "cute" better than anime" and say "GIGANTIC ADOWABLE BAMBI EYES!?" two paragraphs over, that would probably be an inappropriate place to put a Disney reference. Razz

Well, it should be noted that the big eyes in anime are Disney inspired.

But as a pop-culture reference, even when it comes to anime fans, Bambi is pretty hard to beat.

I've seen this, and own a copy of it on VHS. Waaaaaay back when Cape Cod had an anime club, we watched it. My now-husband LOVED it. I've been unable to watch it without falling asleep. It's very . . . blue.
