  1. how can a team be that goo.they almost lost to phili but thats it and los boys they played horrible they have a great ofence and good d but back to the pats how can they be that good but win really close to the sorry teams.an miami won one :devil:

    New England's ALWAYS played like that. Back when they were on their 21-win streak, they would demolish the really tough teams that were the cream of the NFL, and barely squeak by the Terre Haute Community College Fighting Insurance Salesmen. It's maddening. People say that they tend to play at the level of their opponents. I admit that it was less interesting when they were blowing everyone out 45-14, but it was also a LOT less stressful. :laugh:

  2. And, as a special "treat," here's that horrible, horrible Batman "fan" film I ranted about during the intro. As I told James when I sent him the link, watch this only if you want to waste 28:27 of your life that you will never, ever get back. This is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen; the filmmaker clearly doesn't get a damn thing about the character. So, yeah, watch at your own risk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUAXIMoZuBM. (Oh, I made a mistake during the show when I said Batman was tied to a chair; he's actually chained from the ceiling.

    Oh.

    Oh, my.

    I can still see it when I close my eyes.

  3. Assuming you mean Doctor Who episodes, no. We didn't get to see any more from the same season / series as "Blink". However, as soon as I have the cash, I'll buy said season / series.

    Understandable; British TV on DVD tends to be prohibitively expensive. IMHO, totally worth it, although I'm biased as a Whovian fanboy from way back. And Blink in particular was a highlight, despite being this year's Doctor-lite episode (although the writer, Steven Moffatt [Coupling, Jekyll, scads of other really good TV] actually turned that into a strength of the episode).

  4. JUST listened to this episode (my podcasting has been lacking of late, because breaking iPods is apparently my new mutant superpower). This was AWESOME. I haven't watched or really even thought about TNG in years. This was three solid hours of me going "Hey, yeah, I remember that one!" and then having to apologize to coworkers for the outburst. I'm definitely going to have to track down the show.

  5. Have you read the collected Spider-Man/Human Torch "I'm With Stupid"? It's absolutely hysterical, and both my wife and my ten-year-old son loved it.

    Nope. When is it set: now or in the past?

    And welcome to the forums!

    Thanks! I only recently discovered the podcast, and I'm really enjoying it.

    It's a five-issue series that takes places over their whole careers: Issue one in set in Spidey's Ditko era, issue two is during the John Romita Sr. years, issue 3 is during the 70's, issue 4 is in the black costume period, and the last issue is more or less now. All that said, while a knowledge of Marvel history doesn't hurt, it's equally enjoyable to someone totally unfamiliar with the characters. I've always loved the semi-combative, incredibly competitive, almost brother-like relationship between the Torch and Spidey, and Dan Slott (She-Hulk, The Thing) captures it PERFECTLY. On top of which, Ty Templeton's artwork is beautiful.

    Plus, it's seven bucks. I've spent more than that on books I didn't care for just to complete a run.

  6. I love Marvel's digests! So far I've read:

    - Livewires

    - Machine Teen

    - Runaways, vol. 1: Pride & Joy

    - Scorpion: Poison Tomorrow

    I'm also working my way through:

    - Arana (two issues in)

    - Gravity (three issues in)

    When I first purchased Arana I actually bought it for Jenny, so hopefully she'll get to that one soon.

    And I'm glad to know that sponsorship paid off.

    My first post... be gentle.
