I'm glad you put this up here since I was going to be looking for the story. CNN ran a long segment about it while I was at the gym but there was no sound and reading the captions is more effort than it is worth. [bull]"It's clear the intent was to get attention by causing fear and unrest that there was a bomb in that location," Assistant Attorney General John Grossman said at their arraignment.[/shit] especially since it worked in other places, I am with turner on this one. I don't have a problem with officials being upset and pointing fingers but if they try to drag this out and get stuff out of it they are going to look like grade-A asses in the end.

I guess this would be right about that expected time. And since you shouldn't be on the boards right now, I'll send my well-wishes out into the spaces of the universe.

among the things that make Heroes so great: best use of sub-titles -- GULP! still sick of looney bin story

I like the new blue beetle book. I agree with the god-machine bit you got there, though. Hey, now! Let's be fair. The didn't dig up the corpses of Beetle and Lord, then take them to the Statue of Liberty. They dug up the corpses of Beetle and Lord, brought them near the Statue, and then brought the top half of the Statue to their corpses. Much... less... creepy and perverted.

I can't get into the office but muppets make everything better. Did anyone catch that hilarious muppet based improv special on the TV a little while back?

Yep, you're nuts. That device must be important. Everything in that picture has purpose. Is it Orion's weapon or something New God-ish? I seem to recall that...and Mr. Miracle seems to be interested in it. I think Miracle is just look and Supes and WW. His face has a very sad expression so I don't think he's looking at the mystery tech weapon.

Well, just like everyone calling Mr. Bennet Horned-Rim-Glasses, I've got no problems refering to The Doctor. Though it does help that with the hair and everything I didn't even recognize him in the feverish dream.

You're making me feel like a doof, I can't find the Spectre. Near as I can tell, the thing on the Statue platform is Miss Liberty's legs and toga.

I don't like that batman design. other things I noted: Kyle Rayner is the GL, rocking the Red Robin costume, Mary Marvel over the other Marvels, Q down with all the dead peeps. it is an interesting enough pic to get me to at the least check it out.

that good, eh?

if you don't know what second life is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life I found out about this entertaining satire for the first time a couple days ago through a podcast... http://www.getafirstlife.com/ I stumbled across this in my aimless wandering: http://www.physorg.com/news88880109.html It made me smile. The good kind of smile, as opposed to the "why do people suck" kind of smile I normally have in these types of situations

about half the people I know with Wiis, it is their first console (or at the least the first one since like intellivision). people are totally buying into nintendos marketing plan, maybe not gamers but people definately are.

Yeah, TW is a jerk.

I like the idea

now, I've read conflicting reports. Is this an RPG, like the first two were, or is this a platformer (like say, kirby for 64 was. fun game by the way, but nothing really to it)? I seem to recall when they were plugging it for Cube it wasn't going to be an RPG. Now most things mention the RPG factor making me think the ones that aren't are simply neglecting that aspect.

That bothered me at first, but then I realized he wasn't powerful enough to freeze an entire lake. Not yet, anyway. I don't think he has to freeze the whole lake, just at the cracks in the wall. it would easily have held long enough to take off. The big wall he made when the soldiers attacked showed he could do big and thick, he just had to aim it.

eh, I enjoyed the movie. didn't think it was good, but it was fun. but yeah, hated that last scene

I love how they continue to connect the characters. the whole first scene in the apt was amazing. i'm still sick of nikki's story. yay for the doctor

last I heard this was for the Cube. I almost hope it is for Wii, and not at all for cube, so I'm not tempted to buy it. I'm so broke right now and the paper mario games rank right up there with the most fun I've ever had with a console.

No need to apologize. That's not ruining a movie, that's enhancing it. at the very end of X3, I ended up yelling "Don't applaud that" when the crowd responded to the final scene.

I hate trailers on dvds before the main menu. just thought I'd share, all angry-like.

Along with the swords and shields, I'd really like to see Hulk come back with some of the supporting cast from Planet Hulk. I am absolutely loving the whole huge arc.

interesting selection of characters in that pile I like the world-gripping one much more, though

when I've seen people try to make simpsons their own in the past the hair always ends up looking stupid. Lisa's is still a little sketch but Marge and her sisters' hair (usually the most obvious problem) look amazing. very good translation

best reoccurring plot device that causes our hero to enter battle.
