I was about to post this.
I don't know what movie these other people are talking about, but Peter Jackson's King Kong made a lot of money (and was a good movie besides).
Interestingly, Penny-Arcade is now slashdotted. Just wait for the flood of posts linking to the cartoon they did on Wikipedia (Skeletor editing He-Man's article).
How is choosing a server to join considered "more work"?
XBox Live gives the user almost no input by making all the choices for him. Microsoft has eliminated functionality, and then put a pricetag on what PC gamers get for free. And people think this is a step forward?
I may eventually be interested in online console games, but I most certainly will not pay for a glorified matchmaking service that is significantly less powerful than what I can do for free on the PC.
Ten gallons for a bloody goldfish? Geez, the thing's little more than a vegetable with fins. He can't even remember long enough to swim the length of the tank.
This'll be added to my wedding registry

This is perfect. I'm getting married this summer, I might as well tell people that if they're going to get me a toaster, get me one of these.
Except that Big Fish was a highly entertaining and original movie, one of the better of the year. It's funny to see the Slashdot crowd go apeshit over a Dr Who marathon but can't handle an interesting light-hearted tale of a guy who just loved telling stories.
Now as for Willy Wonka, since the original was pure shit and the trailer looks like one long acid trip from start to finish, I couldn't care less what Burton does. War of the Worlds I would normally ignore, but it's Spielberg and I've never seen a bad movie with his name on it.
Basically Slashdot is one of the best movie review sites. Whatever the majority opinion here says, the opposite is always true.
In other news, thousands of Florida citizens went to Vegas for their Spring Break holiday, but when faced with the challenge of putting a coin into a machine and pulling the lever they accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan.
This would work great down in the bible belt. Every time it detects someone listening to a radio evangelist, it could flash big letters "SEND MONEY" with a 1-800 number.
I recently tried to get my home number (with Bell Canada) changed to a cell (with Bell Mobility). No can do.
Bell Canada sells blocks of phone numbers to the various phone companies and by law cannot show partiality to Bell Mobility customers. I was only able to keep the final four digits (lots of people found 9110 easy to remember), and that's just because they hadn't already been taken.

This reminds me of the guys who reported to the police that their pot had been stolen. Just goes to show not everyone was meant to be an entrepreneur, some are just wage-earners.
I agree with this. I have a CS degree and once you get out into the real world, they don't even ask where you went to school.
