the upcoming season of six feet under will be its last. too bad. although it is still excellent, later seasons really haven’t matched the power of its first season. also, the sopranos next (and last) season won’t debut until 2006. yikes!

it is becoming clear that the defining characteristic of a pixar film is not being disappointed, even when you go in with high expectations. the incredibles is brilliant. brad bird (writer and director) is a supergenius, using his powers for tremendous good. i can’t think of anything not to like about the film. the story, the characters, the animation, the backgrounds, the camera work, it’s all masterfully executed. the cast is great — who knew that craig t. nelson could turn in such a great performance?
