    Free LOTR Widescreen DVD at EB with Trade-In

    just did this last night....it's for real. they do have an "exclusion list", so if anyone is thinking of doing it they may want to call EB to see if their DVD's are on the exclusion list. i imagine, though, it's just to keep adult videos and specialty DVD's (ie not feature length films) from...

    Five things that sucked about "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"

    most of it was kind of lame. #5 was kind of funny......."the land of golden shower"? discover the power of his staff? juvenile, yes. but i chortled when i read them.

    Vin Diesel plays D&D

    brilliant (and black) economist walter williams calls the NAACP "the clan with a tan". that's the only way i refer to them anymore.

    Vin Diesel plays D&D

    you must live in a different world than most of us. otherwise i would already be "out of the gaming closet", so to speak. sorry, still wayyyy too many stinky guys yelling monty python lines for my comfort. anything we can do to combat that stereotype should be embraced. i agree, there's not...

    Vin Diesel plays D&D

    i disagree with this. is he arnold or bruce? no. i don't know who the hell christian bale is, but i think i can safely say that vin diesel is better known than him. by the way, as much as critics didn't care for FaF, the movie was a huge success for the studio. plenty of moviegoers liked it...

    yep, caught them often on WUAB back then. i was spoiled because they were on our local CBS affiliate as well (WSEE if you could get that signal across the lake :)).

    Why do so many people hate Voyager?

    the show had some good points, but it just never delivered on it's potential. as several people have stated better than i could have, it just sort of devolved into banality after a while. there was never anything that made me wince in pain, and several times there was nothing that grabbed my...

    favorite transformer?

    just introduced my 3 1/2 year old boy to the transformers movie (1985). he really thought it was cool. i kind of forgot how surprisingly good that movie was. which leads me to ask, who was your favorite transformer. my favorite decepticon: soundwave my...

    entertainment from the elderly!(not actually OT)

    great story! i wonder, though, as we all start to age, how many retirement homes 40 years from now will be witness to bluehairs rolling D20's?

    damn hotmail is down right now, as i'd like to see if my order is still being "sent to warehouse". that was an interesting take, about buy.com fulfilling orders for $25 first. as for getting the BBB involved, i wouldn't go that far unless they've charged my credit card before fulfilling the...

    Social Commentary

    good point. as someone who is almost done reading the elric saga, i find many parallels between the chaos driven world of moorcock and martin's westeros. martin himself has said he doesn't quite believe any character is truly "good or bad", just ones that lean more one way than the other.
