I followed the thread from today's Penny Arcade strip, and look where I ended up.  I'm really really hoping that this isn't real.  Guys, do we need to taint a beloved classic?  Girls?

(With apologies; I need a new site other than IMDB.  It seems they've taken up the hobby of filling up 1/2 their screen with a Microshaft Windows Live Messenger ad.)

Up Now:
Pan's Labyrinth on screen 2.

These are some good stories and good movies, so please have a sense of humor when reading. Thanks.

Warner Brothers is helping to save the Tasmanian Devil, one of my favorite animals, from extinction due to cancer. Proceeds from the sale of their DVDs will benefit this cause. When asked how he felt about it, WB's ( Read more... )

The Weak Ender

You'll notice that the title is not the Weekender, but the Weak Ender.  This is, in part, due to the fact that POTC:AWE (it's "cur-IB-ee-in") came out this weekend, but it's also because it's Memorial Day weekend, which honors those Heroes, whose ends are, on other days, understated.

So, to all those that have died in the military and ( Read more... )

I didn't watch American Idol last night.  I've watched maybe two episodes this season.  I just really really don't like reality contest shows, especially singing ones.  Especially ones where someone like Hung Lo (read: William Hung) can become a celebrity by singing horribly.  Unfortunately, I have to hear about it because AZ is so excited that ( Read more... )

I just finished watching Gamebox 1.0, and I have to say that it's a good level of cheese with enough story background to be good. I wouldn't put it as great, but it's comparable to, say, Arcade. I didn't like it as much as Stay Alive, though. Stay Alive falls into the Horror category with Brainscan, while I'd pace Gamebox 1.0 as an Action film ( Read more... )

Lately, I've been getting hit by small bouts of depression and I don't know why. It's like an overwhelming feeling. This time it was when I had way too much to do. I just didn't want to do anything. I had about 5 loads of laundry to fold and put away and I just looked at it and almost cried. I go to work, come home and do more work. Then my ( Read more... )

It seems like someone is using my name and/or my account. I've looked into the recent connections and didn't find anything other than my two places of connection. I suspect it's either embedded HTML in some of the Yahoo spam that I've received or someone has targeted a good friend in a buffer overflow attack. I'm also upset at Yahoo for removing ( Read more... )

Testicle Festival! Fun to stay! Fun to say!
Funny his name should be Bubba.
I'm getting annoyed at many of the comics coming to the "big screen." There are too many purists and not enough radicals, and the production companies cater to the purists while recruiting new fans by recreating the hero's back-story. Anytime a[n older] ( Read more... )

I've lost faith in Sega, after they dropped the ball on the Genesis, and the Dreamcast... and just about everything else that they put out.  It's always seemed like they were in the "Take the money and run" business.  So, when Condemned: Criminal Origins came out, I decided not to purchase it.  From the looks of the shelves (PC) at Fry's ( Read more... )
