While hearing that Kyell Gold has been nominated for an award may seem old news by this point, hearing that he was nominated for an award by decades old, non-furry science fiction club adds a new level of legitimacy to the fandom.

How Many Furries Does it Take to Review a Kid Film?
It was shockingly easy for Lovejoy to convince his entire staff to go see the new Cats & Dogs film. Convincing them all to do a full review for the film proved to be much harder. However, he did manage to squeeze a single sentence out of each of them. Think of this as your furry version of Rotten Tomatoes.
Marvel vs Capcom 3 Gets Way More Furry
Posted by Lovejoy on July 22nd, 2010 on July 22nd, 2010
During Comic-Con International 2010, Capcom has been announcing new characters for its upcoming fighting game, Marvel vs Capcom 3. So far the roster has been pretty standard, with one major exception: there’s a big white wolf god on the list.
More Dragons and Hot Girls for Jay Baruchel
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice stars Nicolas Cage, so it’s going to be a crap shoot in terms of quality. Lovejoy and Corvi have two different takes on the Summer magic flick.
Twilight Saga isn’t Creepy-Awesome Yet, Still Just Dumb
It’s hard to believe that a movie about a teenage girl trying to bone half the cast of Universal Studios’ Monsters could be pretentious, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t try! From the first lines of Bella reading Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” to the numerous statements on morality, Eclipse manages to be preachy about a subject that is not an issue for 100% of the universe: fucking vampires.
Putting Away the Toys
Toy Story 3 tries to do something pretty brave: it attempts to age in real time, with as much time passing in-universe since the previous film as has passed in real life. Something similar was tried with the Harry Potter books, but while that mostly resulted in the books getting overlong and less well edited, with Toy Story 3, it actually succeeds.
These are the Fables

One of the things I like about New Fables as a series is that the stories within are not strictly “furry”, nor are they explicit. Many of them touch on some very adult themes, but it’s the kind of book you could give to a family member or friend to ease them into “that weird animal thing that you’re into”. The Summer 2010 collection keeps up the tradition, and has the added bonus of featuring some of my all-time favorite stories ever printed in these books.
Movie Poster Reviews – We’re Too Old For This Shit
Posted in: Article, Features, Reviews Tags: Furry Vengeance, Marmaduke, Shrek Forever After, The Karate Kid
Look we’re all adults here. And as much as we’d like to review every talking animal flick that comes along, the truth is that we don’t have the time, or the alcohol budget, to make that feasible. What we do have time for is to glance at the posters lining the hallway of our local cinemas, and make judgments about the films from a quick glance. And that’s exactly what we did.
Hot Gay Cougar Made Me Buy Orangina Stock
Posted by Lovejoy on June 22nd, 2010 on June 22nd, 2010
Did you see this new Orangina ad?! Now there is marketing to a demographic, and then there is “Hey furries, when you get a boner, think of Orangina!”
The E3 Three-Way
Lovejoy here, along with new writers Duroc and Corvi. We’re chatting about E3 2010 and whether or not 3D and motion controlled gaming is cool or total bullshit. Here’s a hint: if it forces you to dance, or buy $200 glasses, it’s retarded.
