I generally go with really godawful movies over Large Farvas. I think they lend themselves to more viewer participation and yelling. Did someone in years past say there was a good Thai restaurant? Thai is my absolute favorite kind of food, so naturally I'm curious.

What's the CTA again? And where is it in relation to O'Haire?

--My plane arrives at O'Haire at 12:40pm on Wednesday. I was just going to hail a cab to the hotel, unless some of you veterans have any better suggestions? --I'm flying out at 8:31pm Sunday night, so I'll need to be at the airport by 6:30pm. --I'm getting a Sunday one-day pass and that's almost certainly the only day I'm attending the con. I want to hit up the dealer's room to see if there are decent deals on books and whatnot. --Yes, I'm bringing Damien's CAH set, which has all four expansions. --I think we decided to just buy tickets at the Wrigley Field gate for the Thursday afternoon game, right? As bad as the Cubs are, I doubt we'll have any problem getting tickets for a Diamondbacks/Cubs game. --I am down for most any kind of cuisine for lunch and dinner plans. Anything Asian, Italian, pizza, whatever. I'm very flexible in the food department.

What it means is I have to stop ignoring our Twitter feed. All I focus on is the Wiki and Facebook. Our Twitter feed is pretty much nonexistent. Edit: And I remember liking Spawn...

Michael Jai White is following us on Twitter. In spite of the fact that he follows over 95,000 feeds, I'm gonna say that's pretty cool.

I think the only Marvel movie that even holds a candle to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is Captain America. Winter Soldier certainly looks like it could be fantastic, though.

The Braves pitching staff got annihilated by elbow injuries. I, too, am tempering my expectations.

Don't forget the $2,500 shipping charge.

Congrats, Ian!

Awesome main villain who is built up the whole movie and kicks the heroes' collective ass until they get saved? Check. Likeable main characters who all have definitive characteristics? Check. Realistic conflict between siblings? Check. The closest thing we've ever seen to the comics in a TMNT movie? Check. Casey Jones? Check. Like Chris, I have no clue what you want out of a live-action TMNT movie if the original didn't do anything for you.

Our next episode, even though we haven't recorded it yet, will probably dwarf this one by an hour.

I Know Who Killed Me has even bigger and more egregious plot holes........................than Alone in the Dark. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

I was hoping you'd comment on that.

It actually looked decent, but I'm sorry--Michael Bay has NOT earned the benefit of the doubt. I will dread this until I see it and am proven wrong.

Ghost Stories is fucking hysterical. Just raunchy humor out the ass.

I watched the Babymetal video that was making its rounds on the Internet about ten days ago, I think. I honestly had no clue what to say. It was a bit of "What did I just watch?" combined with "The instrumentation was pretty fucking awesome."

I think I'm just going to get a 1-day pass. Is there a particular day you all think I should pick?

I'm with Hannah. I'll get a PS4 at some point, but only when KH3 has a firm release date. And even then, it'll probably still be a while before I pony up that kind of money.

The Bloodrayne episode will be out pretty soon. We're going to tackle IKWKM relatively quickly, too, just so we can get back on schedule.

I'd really have preferred to have a continuation from where they left off at the end of the original series. Sailor Saturn was criminally underused in that show.

I disliked the first Resident Evil because it was so goddamned boring. I never bothered with any of the sequels.

Would the Umbrella Corporation and Umbrella Health (from Saw VI) be the same company?

Thursday is the Cubs game, which I would imagine would end around 4:00pm.
