Batman: Year One
When it comes to reading comic books, I mostly read Marvel and Image growing up but also picked up some titles from Dark Horse, DC, and others (I collected Spider-Man, X-Men, Spawn, Deathblow, The Maxx, and Sin City). DC though, has usually done consistently well with their animation and movies. I especially enjoy their production and art style, particularly with Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Teen Titans, and Young Justice. Recently, DC has been doing something incredibly smart by releasing stories as individual movies; Superman: Doomsday (which I have yet to see but have read the comic), Batman: Gotham Knight, Superman/ Batman: Public Enemies, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, Superman/ Batman: Apocalypse, All-Star Superman, and Batman: Under the Red Hood. DC's next release is Batman: Year One and I am very excited to see this film when it's released. Check out the trailer below. And just when I thought I couldn't be more excited, I read that DC plans on doing an animated version of The Dark Knight Returns.
2009 October Movie List
October is here and I'm excited; leaves are turning color, scary/ horror movies and Halloween. My friends and I are planning something together. So far, the air soft handguns I ordered arrived, which is just the first part. I won't spoil what we're going as but it is related to one of our collective interests.
In the spirit of Halloween, I enjoy watching scary/ horror movies. This year, I decided to compile a small list of horror cinema that I plan to watch during the month.

Studying the Human Animal from a Zoological Perspective [NSFW] - Documentary - io9
By Lauren Davis, 11:20 AM on Mon Sep 21 2009, 15,952 views
In 1994, the BBC aired a documentary titled The Human Animal, which examines human beings in the way a nature documentary would look at any animal, using zoological language and techniques to study and describe human anatomy and behavior.
In 1967, Desmond Morris wrote The Naked Ape, a book that described human beings in terms of their similarities with and differences from other apes. In The Human Animal, Morris travels all over the world to examine human culture and behavior, and look for commonalities, or at least common roots across the species. Part one is below (male and female nudity ahead) and the entire documentary is available on Google Video.
I found this documentary very interesting. I often think to myself that human beings are merely animals. We are the most ruthless animal alive between making people destitute and waging war among ourselves.
