If she likes Twilight, then I think you have to stalk her to show her you are interested.

You do realize that most likely she is an alien or some other sort of life sucking monster?
or Illuminati.
What you described only seems to happen in the movies. -
From the sound of it, it will be another soundtrack to add to my collection. I seem to hear some Lords of Acid in there.

At least one of them will in death's ever revolving door policy most likely.
Quote:PHILADELPHIA The Fantastic Four superheroes whose creation nearly 50 years ago helped usher in the Silver Age of comics for Marvel is about to become a trio.
Marvel Comics said Wednesday that a member of the foursome Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing will die in issue No. 587 next month, a change that the company said will ripple across the Marvel Universe like never before.
But who will die? That's a secret protected with more might than the Incredible Hulk and Sentry possess, but executive editor Tom Brevoort, who oversees the comic book, says plenty of clues have been offered during the course of writer Jonathan Hickman's run, including the current "Three" story line.
"I think we've given plenty of hints as to who may die perhaps too many, in that every one of our lead characters is left in a dire, life-threatening situation the month before," Brevoort told The Associated Press. "So, hopefully, that will help to heighten the suspense, while preserving the surprise as to which member doesn't make it out alive."
Marvel is taking no chances in trying to contain that secret like it were the wish-granting Cosmic Cube itself.
Readers will find out for themselves when "Fantastic Four" No. 587 is released in January, though it'll be wrapped in a black polybag designed to keep snoops from finding out and spilling the news.
It won't appear on newsstands, either.
"The surprises in this issues and what comes next constitute one of the biggest events in Marvel history," said David Gabriel, senior vice president for sales and circulation at Marvel.
But is death really the end and, more so, will it be permanent? After all, death has visited the Fantastic Four, which was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in 1961, before.
Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, supposedly died, but that was just a ruse. Similarly, her husband, Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, was thought dead after being caught in a blast with his archenemy, Dr. Doom. Instead of death, however, Richards and his nemesis were snatched away to another dimension.
This time, however, Marvel is adamant, noting that once the current story ends in No. 588, the Fantastic Four will cease to exist.
"We've been building to this story and this moment since Jonathan began writing the series around a year and a half ago," Brevoort said. "It's a story that will have a transformative effect on these characters virtually nothing will be the same after the events of this story. And that was the reason to go this route to bring about these seismic changes to the characters and to the series."
Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada said the story is part of a wider effort to not only keep readers entertained, but engaged.
"The beauty of the Marvel Universe is that it is in constant change. Things are always happening, very much like life itself," he told AP. "For us, being stagnant just means that we're not doing our job. At the end of the day, its about characters, soap opera, dramatic events and things that keep our readers coming back for that next installment." -
I prefer Sgt Pepper's Paradise City. There are some other gems I found too.

I do hope this means you got a job at Bioware or some other place cool making the next great MMO.

The new release of Avatar is good. Lots of extras and new scenes.

The fact it is on the CW tells what it will be. She'll be a teenager (like every other show on the station), won't be set in Azarath (unless Azarath is set in some pseudo-metropolitan area where teen drama can be drawn from), and the sorcery will be a second thought to the drama. -
I never could decide if it all happened or it was all in his mind as a way of dealing with his diseased body. The first time he went there was after a head injury.

This is Joss' response:
Warning: If you're a Buffy fan, this will make you love Joss Whedon all the more. And will make the sting of today's news, even well, stingier.
After Warner Bros. announced today that they are moving forward with a Buffy the Vampire Slayer "reboot" without the involvement of the iconic mastermind behind the TV series, Joss WhedonI checked in with Joss for his reaction, and here's what he just shared with me via email:
Kristin, I'm glad you asked for my thoughts on the announcement of Buffy the cinema film. This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youthsjust because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you.
Leave me to my pain! Sincerely, Joss Whedon. -

A few months ago, I picked up Tek Grrl at Big Lots for 2 bucks. A quick perusal of the cover showed it was about superheroes, the title character used super-technology that she apparently made (which is a hero/villain type I like that can only be somewhat realized in CoX), and it was the second book by that author. Also, the two books were related, sharing the same universe. A great deal, says I!
Got it home, and a deeper look soon showed, to my horror, that it was a superhero romance novel. I didn't know they existed!
Wife laughed her @$$ off, and the book is now sitting in her pile o' books to read. -

It does make me think about them supposed to be doing World of Darkness MMO. I hope they will be using this for it.
"I hear you have been playing the WoD MMO."
"Yeah, about three months now."
"What level are you?"
"Um, I haven't made it out of character creation yet. I almost have my character the way I want it to look!" -
With all the purple, it looks more like a Joker version of the Batmobile.

Quote:Unless they changed it, Wonder Woman will never grown old, but I could see her stepping aside when all her friends and allies start dying off and retiring and become a teacher ala Kingdom Come ending.Originally Posted by McNum
An idea that could be interesting is to have most heroes pass on the mantle, but not all. I don't see Wonder Woman quitting any time soon. She's got a lot of years of amazon warrior left in her still. What could happen, however, is that she'd end up as the veteran/mentor role, perhaps not to her liking. If she's been in the business for 50 years and there's a batch of rookie heroes, she's going to have her hands full either way. Can you imagine what training sessions led by Wonder Woman would be like? I get the feeling she'd be one tough drill-master. Plus with the amount of world-threating crossovers and magic she's encountered during her career, shed be a perfect level-headed leader type among the rookies. I mean, what could seriously surprise any of the Big Three in DC anymore? They have practically seen everything, and even things that aren't.

Well, Christie Brinkley is coming to the end of her contract with Ol' Scratch, so he needed fresh blood.
At the grocery store I overheard one of the stupidest conversations ever not long ago:
Woman looking at Brinkley on a magazine: "It says she's 55! How does she look so good at 55?!"
Second woman: "And how do I get to look like her?"
Ladies, she looks so good at 55 for the same reason she looked good at 45, 35, 25, 15 and 5: good freakin' genes. -

Think demographics. Red gets the usual action movie demographic, but it also gets older viewers who want to see 60somethings kicking butt.

I didn't think the last one was that bad. I didn't see it in 3d, but I have watched it several times on tv.
I will watch the new one when it hits tv.

Quote:And our crime rate compared to other civilized countries of the world?Originally Posted by sleestack
Ok, all you people who are blathering on about how "soft" we are on crime...exactly what color is the sky in the world where you live? Because in the United States, the rate of violent crime has decreased over the last 20 years and now stands about where it was in the early 1970s, and the decline is continuing. The same holds true for non-violent crimes.
If we're soooo damned soft on crime, why does the US have the highest incarceration rate in the world? According to the linked article, the US has only 5% of the world's population, but almost 25% of the world's prisoners. Yeah, that's REAL soft on crime.
* * * * *
There are some parts of the world where drinking alcohol is a crime. I enjoy a beer or 2 every now and then. What do I do when the "superhero" from a "dry" country shows up and demands I stop drinking...or else? Hell, there are places where **** victims are stoned to death, for being "adulterers" for "letting" themselves get *****. Thank $deity that a Somalian "superhero" can now kill...er, I mean "bring justice to"...**** victims...er, I mean "adulterous criminals"...around the world.
Hooray for juvenile revenge fantasies masquerading as strong moral convictions and being "tough on crime".
Sounds more like we have more criminals per capita than other countries.Quote:According to the linked article, the US has only 5% of the world's population, but almost 25% of the world's prisoners. Yeah, that's REAL soft on crime. -
