Some of you may remember my posting this news a few weeks ago, but they announced today that http://www.entertaindom.com will launch next Monday with programming that "will include an animated talk show, "The God and Devil Show;" "Cartoon Cinema," with Looney Tunes cartoons; [and] a three-dimensional "Superman" show".

Click here for further details.

The "Superman show" mentioned is that "Multipath Adventures of Superman - The Menace of Metallo" thing I mentioned. I finally loaded my copy of this last week and it turned out to be pretty good after all. The CGI animation is fair even if character movement and facial expressions are a little stiff, but the voice performances are pretty good and the story isn't bad either. And the sound quality is great - I'll give it credit for that. My complaint is that I paid $12 for only one freakin episode - the disc doesn't contain the whole story. Sure, there are several different paths you can take in the interactive adventure, even one that results in the complete destruction of the earth (which is closure, I suppose, if you want to look at it that way), but if you choose the right path to the end, it's simply a story that's "to be continued" in the next episode.

It certainly isn't worth $12 - not when you can view them for free on the web next week. They got me interested enough that I'll at least download the webisode to see how the story ends. I hate not knowing, even if I could easily make up one myself.

--veeery curious to see if this is going to be new Looney Tunes material they've developed exclusively for the web. But more than likely, it's probably gonna be the same kinda stuff you'll find at hipclips.com.

Pokemon Movie News
Mon Nov 22 19:38:01 1999

Saw this little tidbit about the movie at Yahoo!

Last weekend's champ, ``Pokemon: The First Movie,'' based on the Nintendo video game characters, lost 57 percent of its audience as it fell to No. 3 with $13.3 million in its second round. However Warner Bros., which released the film, had expected the percentage drop to be higher. After 10 days in release, the film has grossed $68.2 million, and should be at the $90 million mark after Thanksgiving, said studio distribution president Dan Fellman.
