with what Hollywood is releasing,
give independent films a try.
They are funny, scary, dramatic,
creative and usually very original.

JOE 90,
Growing up I watched a lot of animation including:
Filmation studios' The New Adventures of Flash Gordon,
Star Trek The Animated Series, Blackstar, Tarzan - Lone Ranger & Zorro Adventure Hour... Live action shows: Shazam!
Isis, Space Academy & Jason of Star Command Ark II, The Ghostbusters. Also: Johnny Quest, Spider-man (1967),
Superman & Batman the Animated Seires.
Anime is great fun to watch as well. Some of my farvorites include: Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman), Star Blazers, Zillion, Orguss, Orguss 02, Cashan Robot Hunter, Fight! Iczer-One, Angel Cop, Wicked City and more.
If it look like many of these shows are from a while back, you're right. I don't watch much new televison because overall televison today is mostly GARBAGE.

Being a little fed up with the Hollywood tripe over the past many years,
I have decided to take part in independent movie making.
It's fun and rewarding at the same time.
This is when I'm having
the most fun and I'll probably keep doing
it for the rest of my life.
Watch our film which aired on The Independent Film Channel (IFC) and Media Labs website.
My politics are conservative and I'm a huge admirer
of Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and supporter of the War on Terror.
I highly admire and respect our U.S. Veterans past and present. Whenever you meet a veteran, shake their hand and thank them.
They are the reason you enjoy your freedom in this great country!
I am also an avid comic book and autograph collector,
fan of science fiction and vintage televison. Listening to orchestral film scores is a passion as well.
Your full of great power today. You surround yourself with the conditions you wish to create and by doing so have everything you need to be successful and independent according to your values and purpose. You always consider the welfare of others and are a master in producing happiness and dreams come true for all those around you. You are empowered by, and it is your honor to be, generous in offering or reproducing security, stability, and protection by your virile and reliable example. Your assets are trust, respect and honor, that is well deserved.
You are Love You are Light You are Divine Reach For The Stars Gina

For both~ it’s the creation of pure hope, pure joy, pure love and a beautiful life Love-n-light
