The original English "Whose Line" was intelligent and witty. The American "Whose Line" is slapstick. PREDICTABLE slapstick.
Once up on a time you could see John Sessions improvise a monologue with the audience suggestion being "in the style of Virginia Woolf". Now the show is "let's watch Wayne do a song-and-dance routine! Oh dem niggers is funny!"
I was surprised to find that "I, Robot" was quite good. Hollywoodized, yes, but... yeah, quite good.
"The Cat In The Hat", on the other hand, is nothing less than a crime against humanity. It's the heartless corporate rape of everything that Dr Seuss stood for.
No, this is great. Movies are crap, television is dead, and watching the United States lobotomize itself is awesome entertainment. The laughs just keep on coming!
After all these years, the gag still gets a laugh from me!
You know, if there really was a god, Tem would have had some cool throwaway line as Jango Fett in Ep 2. Maybe a "You're not on Coruscant any more, Jedi" or something like that.
...could convince me to see "Revenge of the Sith": the DVD moving from the "New Releases" shelf to the "weekly" shelf at the local rental store. And even then, something with zombies would probably get my $1 first.

The original Macintosh UI was elegant. OS X is pretty.
These guys don't know films from their asses. Star Wars over Empire suggests that. But no Seven Samurai proves it.
Amen.
It's times like these we need a moderation option of "-1, crack baby".
Mod parent up please.
Amen. Just started playing through the single-player campaign AGAIN.
Haven't you been paying attention? Australia *IS* America now.
Put down the crack pipe. Zahn's books are fucking horrible.
IIRC, Yahoo was originally at akebono.stanford.edu. It wasn't even important enough to merit a hostname of its own :)

Man, ten years ago* Altavista was "THE" search engine. It was so far superior to everything else there just wasn't any comparison.
*holy crap. Is it that long already? I feel old.
Yes. It's amazing what having supplies of work-until-they-die concentration-camp slave labour did for the Nazi missile-weapons program.
IP addresses are for n00bs. REAL hackers memorize MAC addresses.
...THAT'S what Debian needs to get its release schedule back on track. Project leaders with names like "ChaosKnight".
Elite.

Marc Andreesen is a luminary now?
There are hundreds of 56k modems out there for example, maybe 10 of them are worth having.
There are ten different types of US Robotics 56k External modems?!
