Tales of the Obvious: Toe Tags
In the top secret government research bunker where I work there was a problem. Documentation from the big brains on floor 101 was slow in making it’s way down to the organ banks from sector 7-G, this bottle neck was having a catastrophic effect on the work flow and all sorts of Management Consultancy types applied their big brains to the problem, to little or no effect.
Then one fateful day while I was walking past the mortuary beside the canteen I noticed something that set in motion a chain of events so fabulous and extraordinary that words cannot express. (If they could, I would surely have used them.) Toe tags, simple little brown notes tied to the toe of a body mark the first and most important part of documenting bodies through the mortuary — these deadly tags of joy would be the salvation of us all! Soon we had developed a robot to take the toe tags from the big brains on floor 101 and build the neccessary Subversion, Trac and development hosts for our projects, soon we were dancing in our clogs, soon we were as happy as little clog wearing government sponsored top secret web designers could be.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
