Did you by any chance mean Tom Cruises daughter?

The problem he wants to solve is how to make someone who's trying to bring up a quick mapquest page be able to do so without sitting there waiting and waiting, and eventually wondering whether there're five people on his subnet downloading the latest 18G celebrity midget porn video. If he solves that problem, then Comcast won't care about using more stupid methods of throttling our celebrity midget porn.

I realize that people in Japan are shorter (and thus, closer to the parts on the factory line), so that metric may work there, but here, we're taller and there are plenty of counter examples where a 33.5" waist is impossible or unhealthy.

Should it come to pass here, though, I imagine it won't be too hard to fit in w/ those guys who are in denial about their large waists and still buy small pants and wear 'em low (aka Dunlop's Disease). Of course, those guys are typically retired and don't have employers to appease, so they may launch a counter-revolution by buying large pants b/c they can.

"15 new stamps featuring Star Wars characters at Grauman's Chinese theater" - you mean this Chewbacca at Grauman's Chinese theater? he gets a stamp?

Did you rape a baby?!

or even worse... getting Dashboard Confessional from some emo kid.

Is that what they're calling it? So that's what happened to Katie Holmes' face.

In that case, you're right. I don't want to be getting dashboard confessional from some emo kid either.

Or you could just find out from Jennifer's blog...

For those curious, here's a picture of one of the the Master Chief messengers

Now where's my informative mod? ; )

Requiem... Yeah, that was a good movie if you wanted to put a gun in your mouth the next day....)

Programming:
Someone picked up a pile of these for $1 at a garage sale.

As he perused through them, he took notes.

From it we got

• The Fugitive
  Good movie, but loses points for standing on the shoulders of an ok tv show
• Addams Family
• Flintstones
• Beverly Hillbillies
  Good Lord, why
• Rocky & Bullwinkle
  ibid
• Mod Squad
  Still, the same
• Incredible Hulk
  It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a tanking movie!
• Spiderman
  Ok, really a comic. With all the character development sam raimi's ever done
• Charlie's Angels
  We're started to drag belly on the ground here
• George Of the Jungle
  ok, I'm a sucker 'cause I loved this show. When I was 3
• I Spy
• Lost in Space
• Mission Impossible
  Well, mission improbable. She's 25, uber-babe, has 4 PhDs and can barely pronounce the technical terms she's been given.

This is PATHETIC!!
We have some interesting and creative people coming up with screen plays and ideas who are utterly being quashed by these lame-ass studio execs who wouldn't know a good idea if it kicked 'em in the nuts.

A separate but related thread is people remaking moves that, really, we done right the first time. Remake the movies that were good ideas but SUCKED! Like perhaps most of the ones in the last 20 years.

Jack: People aren't avoiding movies because we're pirating them, we're avoiding movies BECAUSE THEY SUCK!

see also this about "piracy ads" because it's a great idea.

Curves? You must be talking about a different actress.

Seriously, I doubt a Keira Knightley projection will have problems making any woman appear to have the body of a teenage boy.
