  1. Afraid I'll have to catch Chuck tomorrow on Hulu but here are the opening 7 minutes of the Castle season premiere.
  2. I can think of games that I wouldn't mind seeing cut-scene movies from but like others I wouldn't be $20-$30 for them.
  3. Might consider Rashomon. It's an important and influential film but one lots of people haven't seen though at 88 minutes it's a little short of your time requirements.
  4. I'll suggest a great little film that came this year but hardly anyone has seen (widest release was 269 theaters), City Island. It's PG-13 and 104 minutes and it just came out on DVD.
  5. I liked Snyder's version of Watchmen. It's not perfect but it's probably as close as we could expect from Hollywood. The Watkins/Greengrass version sounds like just another bad Hollywood mangling of an Alan Moore story. Do we really need another movie on the order of LXG? I don't think so.
  6. Yeah, if they want to do a sequel to Nikita then they should have gotten Peta Wilson and as much of the rest of the cast back as they could. I'm not interested in this new version.

    Forget the hat. No one cares about the hat. The important part, especially for the fan boys, is what's under the coat/cape she's wearing. She could be wearing moose and squirrel on her head and no one would care as long as she was decked out in a tight corset with g-string.
  8. Neither Hulk movie did that terrible at the box office.
  9. In Willow I was much more interested in Madmartigan's story than Willow's. Madmartigan and the brownies are really the only reason why I watch that movie.
  10. Meh, they should have gone for a real mascot...Great Cthulhu...
  11. I used to know a woman named Gay, having been born well before the word became a pejorative. I wonder what she's supposed to do in situations like this.

    Capt America Pic

    I don't like the look of the helmet from the side. Something about the shape just bugs me.

    QFT. Delivered right it could have been a good line but Halle Barry was being pissy at the time because she felt playing a superhero was beneath her.
  15. Production companies make their money off of licensing the rights to their movies, not showing them in theaters. In 2007 production companies made about $4 billion from American theaters but $35 billion from things like DVDs, foreign distributors, and television.
  16. Croyd Crenson who's powers change every time he goes to sleep, more likely to draw a Joker than an Ace, and then there's the constant fear of one day pulling the Black Queen.

    The original short story that the novel was based on was better.

    I mean, I remember being unimpressed by the few episodes of "Green Acres" I have seen, but it isn't really considered a classic in the same sense the shows on that list are.
    But "Green Acres" was hugely popular when it was on as were the related "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Petticoat Junction." And unlike a lot of series it never got the chance to descend into the mediocrity that most popular series do before finally being canceled. Heck, I'd give it classic status just for tying the 60s Batman series into the Hooterville universe despite being on rival networks.
  19. I tend to use a mix of mouse and keyboard. It really depends on what I'm doing and what feels most appropriate.

    I use a 13+ year old Microsoft Natural keyboard. It's an ergonomic split keyboard. I remember when I first got it I thought it was kind weird but once I got used to it "normal" keyboards stopped being comfortable for me to use.

    For a mouse I use a Logitech G5 gaming laser mouse. It's a bit of a departure for me since prior to this I've always bought Microsoft mice as I find them very comfortable. I got it because the last time I needed to replace my mouse the only Microsoft mice I could find were wireless models. I bought one of those but once I saw how fast I was going through batteries I decided I needed to stick with a corded mouse so I bought the G5 and I've been happy with it.

    And this was to save the life of someone who, for all intents and purposes, has already lived a full life, and will more than likely be dying of NATURAL causes in what, 2, maybe 10 years tops?
    She was a herald of Galactus. She'll never die.
