    * Stupid apple doesn't port Quicktime to linux.

    * So do we support the MPAA today, or are we against them?

    * The Matrix Reloaded is going to be much cooler than this one.

    * How dare they call it The Two Towers after 9-11.

      I think Jackson is dragging it out on purpose just to make the geeks sweat it out and buy more McFarlane toys

      * The Matrix Reloaded is going to be much cooler than this one.

      Unfortunately for the Warchowski brothers, now that everyone and their brother-in-law's dogs cousin has stolen every directing trick they used in the first one, we (the audience) are a little jaded by 30 second bullet-time sequences. Let's hope they break new ground here.

      * How dare they call it The Two Towers after 9-11.

      I actually hope there is a special blurb in every movie and TV show that comes out from this moment on in time, that features the Trade Centers in all their glory, followed by a subliminal flashing of the phrase 'unclench' that etches itself permanently into the frontal lobes of all viewers in a 50 mile radius, then instructs them to construct hats of tinfoil and hide in their basements.

      I thought of a solution to this. Reformulate the movie with Dick van Dyke as a crimefighting doctor, and call it Diagnosis: Mordor.

      Thanks, I'll be here all week. You've been a great audience!

    Frodo: Samwise, what's that out in the distance?

    Sam: I'm not sure, Master Frodo. It looks like a mighty army.

    Frodo: Samwise, why are they all wearing pocket protectors and Palm Pilots?

    Sam: Good Lord, Master Frodo! It's the Slashdot Effect! Run, Master, Run!

    Frodo: No, not the dreaded 404 Errors of Death! Even Sauruman has no defenses against this horrible threat!

    Man I can't believe it. Not only did the trailers give away so much about the movie, but this guy actually wrote out the entire story a while back, way before the movie came out, and totally ruined it for me. What an ass hole. I pretty much knew exacly what was going to happen before I even saw it.

    But watching it on the sceen was so much better than actually having to use my imagination. The orcs in my mind had little jaggies, because I couldn't render all of them well in real time. It's so much easier just to borrow someone else's imagination and not think so much. Man my brain hurts from having to type so many words. I need a better cooling system for me head.

    I've never been able to figure out how to respond to that question. A lot of my friends haven't read the books, and they all seem pissed that Gandalf died. They always asked me why Gandalf died, and I tried to avoid the question until one of them became convinced that he survived the fall and asked how he did it. So I told him, but I felt really bad about it. It's a tough life we live, those of us who read...
