Today my Slashdot karma went from good to bad. It's all because I didn't share a sense of humor with an "it's funny. laugh" article. I just think non-fiction should have more precidence than fiction on slashdot, that's all. If the editors disagree with that, they can go to hell!

SPIRITED AWAY was never released to theatres in my city (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan). We've got about 25 big film screens in this city, and NONE of them showed the movie which won the Oscar for BEST ANIMATED PICTURE!!!

Some might call it a bad habit to post comments to slashdot articles which are just a blatant excuse to mention your own site; however, I call it ... the only marketting ploy which has ever worked for my site. Linking to my site in comments regarding slashdot articles has brought more visitors to my site than any other tactic which I've tried. It's morally wrong, but I try to at least include one sentence regarding my opinion on the subject of discussion. Am I evil?

Today I wrote a comment which went something like this: "The grandeur of Mayazaki's epic motion-paintings is insulted on the small-screen whereas the landscape of the world's largest movie projection would almost do him justice." I think I should become a movie-reviewer or something :)

BANANA CHAN is a series of teleplays that I post to the net as a "virtual" series, and ten episodes are currently posted to its web-site. This journal will chronical some BANANA CHAN related events until the series is produced for TV.
