But, Hollywood is in a very risk-averse mood right now. The reason every comic book movie looks like the one from last year is Hollywood is afraid to stray from the formula. Audiences might want to think they're sophisticated, but Michael Bay is cynical enough deliver us the shit sandwiches we keep asking for.
Personally, I'd love to see more obscure, interesting comics get a shot, like Alien Legion for instance. Also, I'd love to see some of the RPGs I played as a kid on the big screen, like Skyrealms of Jorune (not much more original and interesting than that) or Rifts.

Just tell them you've got a sure-fire proposal to get the "Black ones" out of the neighborhood. If you're lucky, they'll sign it without even bothering to read the fine print.
I don't even listen to music that much, but I feel compelled to buy CDs to help out musicians in this era of accepted free downloading/piracy/stealing or whatever you want to call it. If music fans would contribute just something to purchasing what you listen to, it would help. And, I don't mean what you think is "good" enough to warrant your money, because we all know that equates to nothing in practice. Yeah, the corporate side of the business is run by a bunch of shysters, but until that problem is fixed shutting down the revenue stream hurts the artists as well.
I never rent from them. I hit the bargain bins for $20/4 DVDs and last time even $20/4 Blu-Ray. No, I don't see movies the instant they hit the retailers, but I've got a nice collection built up of DVDs that I *own* that I can watch at any time. That plus the DVR and I can pretty much see what I want. Yeah, I don't have the instantaneous on-demand selections, but for say 1/2 the access to movies I want to see (the other 1/2 I have to wait for), I'd say I'm getting a better deal.
Plus, I've got a stack of DVDs and 15 movies DVR'd already. If I was really excited about seeing a movie, I probably would've seen it in the theater anyway.
In 100,000 years, they'll stop passing through the birds altogether and start latching onto the stomach lining to leech nutrients from the host.
In 200,000 years, they'll develop an acid-based circulatory system analogous to the host's stomach.
In 500,000 years, they'll develop exoskeletons to better locate new hosts.
In 1 MILLION years, they'll grow too large to subsist on stomach linings. Then, they'll start bursting out of the host's chest cavity. I think we'd better nip this on in the bud.
Perhaps he's developed a mutant super power? That would explain all the flying. He's probably fighting crime all over the world. He'll have to air commute until he mutates himself some flying powers.
Suppose I'm a suspect in a murder and I know the whereabouts of a witness who law enforcement believes witnessed the murder. Am I compelled to give up that information?
Alberto Gonzales didn't forget, the guy flat out lied. There was an infuriating exchange in Congressional testimony between Sen. Schumer and him that flat out showed he was lying and smiling about it the whole time.
How does anyone know that he didn't pilfer the museum debris before it was written off as a total loss? Not a lawyer, but I'd assume that the burden of proof is on him. On a personal note, if my house burned down and a guy shows up with grandpa's pocket watch and claims he found it in the dump where the burned remnants were disposed, I think he loses.

We'd have a lot of posters using flippers.

1. Convince people that trickle-down economics works.
2. Cut taxes on the rich. Talk big about cutting spending, "deficits don't matter" of course.
3. Act surprised that government can't pay the bills after taxes have been cut
4. Cut social programs to balance the books. Leave those juicy hand-outs to your corporate buddies alone.

I am shocked! SHOCKED!
In all honesty, I think they're a perfect example. A relatively small, vocal portion of our citizens having a massive impact on governance.
It was a silly little joke. Relax.

Why not just post an image of your nut sack?
Crazy enough, you can actually *buy* content instead of downloading it from Pirate Bay.

Good morning, Mr. Van Winkle! You already live in one.

No.

Seriously, they managed to build exoskeletons, plant a deadly virus that affects only humans, and invade New York.

"Three state governors accidentally took their state's rocks home after leaving office."
Yeah, right.
