    Judge backs Fox's rights to Watchmen

    I'm just hoping the rumors are true that this lawsuit will open the door for the old Batman tv series to finally get a dvd release.

    The Spirit

    Has anyone else seen the new commercials praising the film? Oddly, the quotes all seem to come from the same guy. And it's not even from some small newspaper, but a website. I thought, "Oh, that's not good." So I went to wikipedia and checked out the "Reception" part of the film's entry...

    Thundercats, HOOOOOOOO!

    To quote Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, "That was the most awesome of awesome things." :D

    ABC Family Channel: Do you watch shows on this channel?

    Apparently, at some Battlestar Galactica con in the UK, Mark Sheppard, aka Manservant Neville, said that Middleman was "dead". :.-(

    Tennant to Quit as Dr Who

    I agree with this completely. I'm kind of glad to see this Doctor go even if I feel sad for losing Tennant. OTOH, I consider this to be bad news. I really hated the new Master. :erm:

    Movie Musicials: Good, Bad, or just plain Ugly?

    I don't usually watch musicals, so I can't really comment on the worst one, but one of the best has to be The Blues Brothers. :cool:

    The Superhero Movie equivalent to "odd-numbered Star Trek movies"

    I remember reading about the "third film in a superhero series will suck" rule. At first glance, there does seem to be something to it: Batman Forever Superman 3 Spider-Man 3 X-Men: The Last Stand Blade: Trinity OTOH, there are plenty of superhero movies that suck right out of the gate (such...

    Trend Micro Problem

    I have Trend Micro Pro. The subscription doesn't expire until the 15th, but when I turned it on today (the 13th), I got an error message which reads: Anyone know what's wrong? I've had Pro on this computer and can't understand why it's suddenly telling me to use the other version (or why I...

    [Trailer] Dragonball

    Watching this trailer, I was reminded of an episode of MST3K. In it, Mike and the bots were redecorating and had covered the walls in many different types of wallpaper, hung at odd angles and overlapping each other. The guys are pround of their job, and they call in Gypsy to look at it. As...

    [Anime] Since no one else is talking about this...

    As you can see by my sig, I miss Toonami. Back in the day, they had some of the best shows on TV. However, I will admit that lately the quality had fallen off. One Piece was a great series that was stuck with a terrible, unfunny, re-edited dub. They tried to bring in MAR and Prince Of...

    Sanctuary [Sci-Fi]

    I felt it was rather "blah". Nothing I saw makes me want to tune in every week.

    Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - Coming in 2011

    The problem with the sequels is that they took one film and needlessly stretched it out into two. What was the point of killing off Jack and resurrecting Barbosa without much explanation in the 2nd film, and then having Barbossa travel to the underworld to find Jack in the 3rd? You could...

    New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows?

    Product placement has been getting annoying lately. They've been doing a lot of name dropping on Psych, mentioning how wonderful the food is at Red Robin and the terrific coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. And then there's Eureka, which has now become "Degree Presents: The Degree Eureka Show...

    New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Shows?

    I had never heard of this show before, so I went to wikipedia and found this description: Psych. Psych. Psych. Psych! Psych. Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! Psych! And they say there's nothing original on TV. :confused:

    Movies: Novel Adaptations That Failed To Keep True To The Novel

    The A&E TV series, "A Nero Wolfe Mystery", rather faithfully adapted the books. There were a few minor changes. For example, the books were written from the 30s to the 70s, but the TV series decided to keep it simple and set it in the 50s (with the exception of a few that contained plots which...

    When will Eureka resume

    I think other summer shows like Burn Notice, The Closer, and Psych are returning in January, so I wouldn't be surprised if Eureka does too. Honestly, I couldn't care less when it returns just so long as it doesn't bring Carter's annoying sister, Lexi, along with it. That woman is like...

    The Middle Man

    Okay, I see. You have to add "Panama" to the end to make it work. Considering they were only working with the first three when they solved it, I thought that was all there was to the puzzle. It wasn't until I read this that I realized that they found the picture of the hat right before Dubby...

    The Middle Man

    I'm a little confused. Isn't a palindrome something that's spelled the same backward as forward, like "racecar", "1991" or "Never odd or even"? So, how is "a man, a plan, a canal" a palindrome? Put it together and you've got "amanap lanac anal" or "lana canal panama". "Canal panama" isn't...

    2008 Olympics (Opening Ceremony + Other Discussion)

    Well, the Olympics are over and the final medal count is up: http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml However, if the Chinese Women (*cough*Toddler*cough*) Gymnastics team is disqualified for being underage, it would result in: China loses 2 gold and 4 bronze. The US...

    2008 Olympics (Opening Ceremony + Other Discussion)

    Can anyone explain to me what happened during Women's Softball? The semi-finals were US vs Japan and Australia vs Canada. Usually, during team events at the Olympics, the winners (US and Australia) would then face each other for the gold and the losers (Japan and Canada) would fight for the...
