    That picture is streets ahead!

  2. Peter's love interest will be a mystery woman instead

    I blame Joey Q! He doesn't even want MJ and Pete to be together on the big screen!

    Actually this makes sorta sense if they want to stick more to the comics' continuity and have Pete date someone before meeting MJ.

    Considering they actually filmed the engineering scenes at the Budweiser plant, distillery is an apt description
  4. Doof-n-Puss, definitely.

    It has everything I want in a show: mad scientist, a platypus, and my dream that I thought I would never see: a computerized ricshaw.

Oh wait...
    Isn't that what the M. Night produced movie Devil is about?

    Marcian is an androygnous llama. I thought we established this!
  7. Awww, I thought this was going to be about the number 255!
  8. The only thing that one may use to defend "Places" being enabled as default is that you have to check in to a place to have it show up at all. So you need to actively use it for it to matter.

    On the flipside, "you" can be your friends checking in for you. So then you have no control.

    The Expendables

    One of the best parts of the movie are the ridiculous names: Christmas, Gunner, Tool, Ying Yang.
  10. I like Foursquare because it has badges.

    If you slap badges on something for doing something arbitrary, I will do those arbitrary tasks and love it.

    Of course, I am sure you guys have no idea what I am talking about
  11. Cannot wait for the DVDs.

    Especially "The New Man in Charge." I have been avoiding spoilers.

    Ah, it is just like old times.

    Any time there is a nervous breakdown plus a new character introduced, Tyler Durden makes a new bar of soap.

    I'm perfectly normal, unless the conversation lasts over 5 minutes.
  14. I got into The Beatles via someone telling me about the "Paul is Dead" rumor, so I still heard some lyrics like...

    "Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Paul" (from A Day in the Life)

    "Silly Beatle, run around" (from Fixing a Hole)

    "Paul, untimely death" (from I Am The Walrus, but really from King Lear)

    "Paul, miss him, miss him, miss him" (from I'm Only Sleeping)

    "Paul, Paul, Paul" (from While My Guitar Gently Weeps)

    I don't think those three watermark words in the bottom right corner usually go together.

  17. 1. It was foreshadowing.

    Especially his early line "I could never defeat it," which coupled with the revelation as to who Scott really should be fighting for, flips the movie around as more of a character study of Scott alone than Scott and Ramona.

    2. No idea.
  18. On a lighter note, I broke down and bought the first two volumes of the comic today.

    Look forward to reading them, when I get the chance (which is to say, I have the chance NOW, but I don't know if I want to devour them that quickly).
  19. Yeah, these photos have no shine to them, which I suspect in the actual movie, they will be more clean and clear.
