A remake of The Crow?!? Will Hollywood never give up? You have to vote with your wallets, people. They keep on doing this crap because you pay for it.

It seems that a Gauguin painting exhibited at the National Gallery of Art of in Washington, D.C. was attacked Friday. Good News first: the painting was unharmed (which is good, as it's valued at $80 million!) due to a Plexiglas shield. Only the frame and wall fixture was broken, less than $200 bucks in damage ( Read more... )

Something I dislike: Movies and TV show you someone running, walking, or generally looking around. Suddenly, they see something. Camera changes to shot of what they see, say, man in distance. Camera cuts back to original subject, reacting to view. Camera cuts back to viewed target, to show it is no longer there. Camera cuts back to original ( Read more... )

Watching stuff on Hulu, I keep seeing ads for U-Verse. "You can record 4 shows at once!" is bad enough, but "With Multiview™, you can watch 4 shows at the same time!"...seriously?!? Are we, as a collective group, so weak-minded and settled on to our fat asses in front of our huge goggleboxes that we want and/or need to be able to watch 4 shows at ( Read more... )

OK, seriously...do you need a label to say who you fuck? Is there some reason we can't all just enjoy the physical activities of sex and intimacy with whomever we enjoy and be good at that?

Y'know how when they first started making 3-D films, goofy glasses at all, it was the Next Big Thing?

"3-D" became the buzzword for "make sure shots take place that have things coming at you", and you ( Read more... )

You've all heard/read me rant and bitch about the lack of creativity in Hollywood, anymore.

Whether it's WoW, CoH, or any other MMO...don't get all the way to the end boss/AV of a dungeon/raid/strike force/whatever and then leave. The party breaks up, and if the game WILL allow you to invite others, no one wants to join for just one fight.

Just ran my Gnome Warrior ( Shinshanker) though Shadowfang Keep. Our tank was a bit of a putz, but ( Read more... )

So, Di and I went out for breakfast/lunch at the little diner near our place, Fat Dave's. Mid-way through our meals, we couldn't help but overhear the conversation at the next table. It was a father and young son (maybe 7 or 8 years old). The talk was all bible-related, and Dad was calmly but seriously going on about God and Jesus and whatnot ( Read more... )

A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer. - "Creation, starring Paul Bettany, details Darwin's "struggle between faith and reason" as he wrote On The Origin of Species. The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film ( Read more... )
