GODDDAMN YOU FIREFOX AND YOUR CONVENIENT WEB BROWSING FEATURES!!!!!!!!! those extra exclamation points are for Yoda.

Whoa! That article was not very inclusive. This just in: DeNiro actually plays Thor!

Yes, but it didn't feel like a Die Hard movie because of it's rating. well put. It felt, to me, like the version you see on television: "Yippee Ki-Ay bad guy" Happy birthday, by the way.

Like I don't have enough to do! :laugh: I will use that first topic. I think I'll even do the recommended viewing thing again this year as last year it kind of changed on me halfway through.

Not being able to work professionally. Essentially, you have to qualify. Apparently animation and web content don't count. You need a body of work to be considered and a pilot isn't good enough. Funnily enough, I heard an interview with Patton Oswalt who was talking about writing comedy for one of the MTV Awards and he was hired as a Co-Producer not a writer so he wouldn't have to be paid the high WGA wages.

Wow! Good guess Tim! How did you ever come up with that?! note sarcasm...

Heh! I do my best podcasting amidst the weeping of children...Muah-hahahahahahahahaha! I'm the father of two kids under two so there will be the occasionally crying in the background...

Because they're fucking arseholes. Even though I belong to one, I hate unions because they've gone so far beyond protecting the worker into using workers for their own monetary gain. My union went on illegal strike two years ago (before I was a member, thus barring me from strike pay) for a month. The contract we got after a month? Slightly worse than the one offered two weeks earlier. Interesting tidbit from Warren Ellis: Sounds like a great union doesn't it? Gives a whole new meaning to "they have the money but we have the power"

I imagine, since it lead to an arrest, either DNA, chemical fluid expulsion from fabrics (ie: finding old cleaned up blood) or digital fingerprinting. These are the only real substantial technological advances that lead to direct arrests on people they didn't have enough evidence for in the first place. As far as I know.

The new film by Wrong Turn and Masters of Horror season 2 offering "Right to Die" Rob Schmidt, has reinvigorated police in Rochester NY to use new forensic methods to solve an old case. This lead to an arrest of a person of interest in the crimes which officially stopped in 1976. The Alphabet Killer slayed women and dumped their bodies in towns whose name matched the name of the victim as far as the first letter is concerned (Susan = Stratford) but has gone unsolved for more than thirty years. The film, The Alphabet Killer, is being submitted to Sundance and is expected to cause quite a bidding war between studios. Not much more info at the link here.

Ditto on that.

Director, Xavier Gens, pulled from film after his cut was too violent. Nicholas de Toth, sawbones in charge of making Live Free or Die Hard bloodless, has been called in to chop the film from what would have been a hard R. Look for a bloodless Hitman!

Nice one, drq! I'll have to check it out.

My guess: rolling out Secret Civil Invasion War II

It says, biggest and only. It could be that they're switching inkers on Penance: Relentless.

Yeah one comic book I can skip for two reasons! And four creative teams on a three times monthly book? Is an extra week going to keep it from being Countdown bad? Probably not.

By the way, Des, next week we're reviewing: - New Excalibur #24 - Ultimate X-Men #87 - Wolverine: Origins #18 - X-Men: Die by the Sword #1 - X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #2 :youlose: No Spider-man? No JMS? No Slott? You ain't got nuthin!

Bravo to the best and most honest comic book review team on them there intarwub! Tim, gotta agree on that Loeb run of Wolvie. It stunk. Not sure I'm so in the boat with you on Punisher, though. far more interesting things are being done in War Journal but still great reviews nonetheless. Now, if you can only get rid of that Yoda guy...

That's why the company's keeping tabs on the resistance through Mohinder.

I don't know if the writing team has been changed or something because not only is the plot development underwhelming, the dialogue is pedestrian. Nothing like last year. Thing to remember when illegally in a country and about to pass into another: don't tell a police officer your plans... Not to mention the cop: Thees is not a flea market, mang. I won't be bribed for less than 2500 pesos!

Am I the only one sooooo not interested anymore? I'd stop watching to free up an hour but then I'm sure the old lady would have me fill it with Dancing with the Stars or some such nonsense...

Maybe it was a slow and painful death... What happened in the last 15 minutes? I fell asleep. Maybe that shows how interested I am in this season so far...

Meet the Neocons!

I'll have to go back and listen.

Thanks. Will try and stop doing that. The audio for the interview was already boosted. It's the problem with calling out to landlines with Skype. My controls were fucking with me during the interview so I decided to say screw it and fix in post.
