Gave it a 4. Keanu needed to hit it out of the park, and instead he phoned this one in from Planet Cardboard. I may be alone in this, but I think he can be really good in the right kind of roles, and I'm not just talking about Bill & Ted here. I thought he was a perfect casting choice for the...

That may have something to do with the generally higher education, formidable intellect and unbelievable hipness of your average blogger. Why yes, I do write a blog, why do you ask?

I'm sorry for your loss Nisarg. It's a loss for all of us, whether we know it yet or not. I only wish I could have met him, let alone been his friend. I realized after I read your post that I've somewhat unconsciously modeled quite a few of my characters over the years on HST. The attitude...

Which one would win in a fight? They were both soldiers, so that's a wash. But Lincoln was taller so he's got a reach advantage. I'm going to go with Lincoln in a short, bloody melee.

A Man, a Can, a Plan: 50 Great Guy Meals Even You Can Make I threw this cookbook in the "going away to college" kit I made for my brother. Alas, he was too lazy even to make the recipes in that book.

Sweet fancy Moses! That Atlantis mural is the best.

"I took another big hit off the amyl, and by the time I got to the bar my heart was full of joy. I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger ... a Man on the Move, and just sick enough to be totally confident." - closing lines of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas As a young writer growing...

Yeah yeah yeah. I knew some wiseass was gonna make that statement. I figured the hipster people who wander past my tombstone would understand I was leaning more towards soul salvation than "Satisfaction" literally taking a bullet for me.

The first time I ever heard "Rock & Roll" by the Velvet Underground, I knew I need look no further. I have standing orders with loved ones to put "His life was saved by rock & roll" under my name on my headstone. How's that for "lay me in my grave"?

Well, the plane (metal) was flying through an enormous storm (water) when the rift occured. I think maybe that's what the text is getting at, although I also recall that the tendrils that sprouted from Donnie ("lead you here, despite your destination") were watery. I loved it. It was one of...

Barsoomcore, you do know the name of that song is "BALLroom Blitz", right? Of course you do. And that movie does look wicked awesome. The pinball sound effects as guys get bounced around by kicks made me chuckle heartily.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/ IMDB. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Dr. Friggin' Orpheus. I love him. "Who wants...PIZZA ROLLS!!!" If AS don't renew this show they're nuts. It's got a great balance between their completely WTF 15-minute comedies (Aqua Teens and Tom Goes to the Mayor, especially), and the more plot-driven half-hour network castoffs like...

Carnac says: the final winner for all 7 seasons will either be "Hush" or "Once More With Feeling."

"Prophecy Girl", followed by "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". I was so hoping we'd someday get some payoff to the final scene in "Out of Sight...". Invisible Initiative assassins? Invisible Wolfram & Hart fixers?

So, Constantine's better than RotK and Spiderman? Oooookay. I'll believe it when I see it, which will really depend on reviews. Yours just isn't in-depth enough to give me any kind of impression other than: And since I have read (and enjoyed) Hellblazer, I guess that means I shouldn't see it.

I'll tell you when I knew I was sold (which of course, was after I bought it :)). This last November or December they started showing Return of the King on Starz. So one weekend, they show FotR Extended, TTT Extended and RotK (normal version) back to back to back. Well, since I'm an HD...

Do it NOW. Turn off the computer, walk directly to a phone, call up DirecTV and demand to be hooked up. (Actually, if at all possible, go back in time a few weeks and order it in time for the Super Bowl.) I can't watch network shows in standard cable anymore; HD is so much better it makes...

It's a rerun; "Raised by Another", Claire's background story. No new ep until next week, I think.

If I may jump in for Gundark, I think what he's trying to say is that a level in Rifts means far, far less than it does in D&D, since Rifts characters come so front-loaded. He's using combat as an illustration. Y'know, that might be worthwhile if the skill system in Rifts and other Palladium...
