First off, I didn't know Momus had a blog. Secondly, I've known about the Uncanny Valley (go click that link, lazy bones) for a while, and it's always been rather fascinating. It's coming up a lot now because of the terrifying uber-humans in "the Polar Express," whom I've been saying were terrifying since the first trailer appeared. Momus manages to link it back into all sorts of other things, including the totally canny valley of anthropomorphization in films like "A Bug's Life" and the 2004 Presidential campaign.

Thanks Momus! All of your CDs are imports that I can't afford! Also I haven't really looked since DC! hoorah!
