Read the subject. Why, oh why, must all "epic" movies fall prey to the Celine Dion/Enyas of the world?
I buy DVDs for movies, not incessant caterwauling. Yeah, I know, I don't have to watch that part of the DVD, but, well, I'll feel dirty just knowing that the music video is on there...
On a side note, I hear that Lucasfilms has contracted John Tesh and Yanni for suitably "epic" songs for Episode 3. *grin*

Oh please. All of this post-911 oversensitivity crap really has me on edge. Editing references to the towers out of NYC-based movies, "Fireman-chic", etc. and now you want to change the name of a movie (which has nothing to do with terrorism, NYC, or even any real place, for that matter) based upon being "sensitive"? Come on.
Look at pics of the kit. The ethernet adaptor is the little black box with the ethernet jack on it. It plugs into the expansion slot in the back of the PS2,; the HDD plugs into the ehternet unit (i.e., you can't use the HDD w/o the BBA unit, you CAN use the BBA w/o the HDD).
Jason might be wearing "UNIX Undies" (hey ThinkGeek, you reading this?), but they could also have come from MC Hammer's closet (you know, 700 means you can't "touch" this).
Oy. I had to say it.
Would 744 make you a flasher?
That was John Bobbit's mistake! He has SUID bit set on his, errrm, tarball.
Wait, I'm confused. You want Disney to suck on New Jersey...?
I mean, that would take care of the problem awfully quickly, but an entire state? You could take care of the problem simply by letting them suck on the Camden Waterfront...
Or they could hire George Clinton again and have him bust out from behind the screen, distribute flashlights and then call the drones up to The Mothership of Funk.
Pixar to Eisner: "Fine! We'll build our own studio! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the studio and the blackjack!"
Then you could change your slogan to "Bite. My. Shiny. Metal. Ass."
I really enjoyed this story over at OS Opinion last week detailing something similar, namely, why it might be a good idea for Pixar to buy Square Studios USA (the makers of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within).
An interesting possibility, certainly. Imagine, the level of detail in FF:TSW mixed with Pixar's talent for quirky stories. I'd say that's a winning combination.

I really enjoyed System of a Down's Toxicity this year. IMNSHO, it's one of the only decent albums to come out in recent memory even worth listening to. I mean, what other group have you listened to lately that features lyrics like
"All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased, And law enforcement decreased, While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences"
"Drug money is used to rig elections, And train brutal corporate sponsored Dictators around the world."
to a hard rock beat? Yeah, it's weird, but it's truly funny to hear it shouted over crunching guitars.

Hated Far and Away. Age of Innocence as well. Don't get me started on Sweet November...
I hear tell that the 3 DVD Indy set (as well as the Back to the Future DVD set) is to be released this summer.
Pleaseohpleaseohplease....

Mmmmm. Yeah. I'm just not too sure about that right now...
PHB to IT Lackey: "Call the diocese! Cancel the order we placed!"
IT Lackey: "Both the young priest and the old priest, sir?"
PHB: "On second thought, no. Didn't you mention some daemons on our Leenooks machines last week...?"
If Britney Spears was in it, I, for one, would be praying the sound system would bite the dust.
Wheee.
Senators have been doing terribly in recent presidential races. Governors/VPs seem to have a much better shot in national elections.
This seems to be the Dem's biggest concern in 2004: lack of decent, available gubenatorial candidates to face GWB.
He (Kerry) may win a primary or two; my bet is on the Dems tring to fashion Al Gore into a "second-time-arounder". Don't think it will work, though.

Awww, be nice. Eisner was just thinking different about the whole concept of crime.

Weird how the universe works. Today's Foxtrot knocks the CD copy protection garbage.

Yeah, I mean, bipartisanship stopped the Tauzin-Dingell "Internet De-regulatory" bill from being passed.
Oh wait. It didn't. Friggin' hope the Senate kills that bill.

That's precisely what I was thinking the whole time.
Who are these people anyway?
Congrats on being the first highly-modded comment to make this observation.
And it's Doctor Doom. Neophyte...
Parallel universes?
I thought DC did the Elseworlds series...
Although, come to think of it, the What if... series was a Marvel property.
'Twas a reference to a Simpsons episode and a comment on the "wasted life" angle instead of the Marvel Comics reference you thought I was making.
*sigh* Very well. I must hurry back to my [desk], where I dispense the insults rather than absorb them.
