Not sure if it counts, but he also decapitated Baron Blood with his shield.

I thought it was pretty awful. I mostly enjoyed the first movie, and was hoping I could follow the prevalent advice for this flick and "turn my brain off" and enjoy it too. Unfortunately it was so aggressively cynical and puerile that I was unable to keep my brain in neutral. The robotic...

Something happens under water. But it's Miyazaki, so it's worth checking out regardless of whether or not you know what it's about going in.

Not too shabby. They've got my interest.

To clarify, I do think it would be difficult to properly work a sidekick into the Nolan Batman movies. While I like the opportunity for character development provided by Bruce having an orphan as his ward, I've never been comfortable with Batman taking a *child* out to fight dangerous...

Frankly I find those characters more interesting than Bruce Wayne a lot of the time. Some writers can't seem to get past the murder of Bruce's parents and end up milking the angst until I feel like screaming "Just get over it already!". My favourite Bat stories are the ones where they deal with...

I understand *why* he's taken that stance, I just don't really like it. Batman is a comic book character in a comic book universe. If Nolan thinks that is so lame, why didn't he just make a gritty detective movie or something? Perhaps it's because that wouldn't have made him exceptionally rich...

I think they could tone down the sci-fi elements of many of those characters without losing too much of their schtick. Of course, I would rather that Nolan wasn't so adverse to the superpowers in the first place. It's not like X-Men or Spiderman suffered for having them. Or the original Superman.

IMO Worf was at his best on DS9 (though he had his moments on TNG, too). And Miles O'Brien is my favourite DS9 character. I love the episode where he infiltrates the criminal organisation. I'm also a huge B5 fan, which I guess made me an easy mark for DS9.

That sounds awesome. I can't wait to read it. I can't tell you how often I've picked up a fantasy book and read the blurb only to be bored to tears. So many of them seem so generic lately. This book is exactly the kind of story I wade through all the dreck to find (at least, as far as I can tell...

I started reading Lennon in America but I gave up on it. I was looking for a relatively objective biography of the man but this one seems to be a sensationalistic hackjob. I started getting wary when I noticed the author doesn't properly cite his work (either he just says "this person claimed...

Looks awesome as always. I'm looking forward to this one.

That's sad news, though I've never read any of his work. RIP, good sir.

I thought the same thing and was very disappointed to find out it was about rodents.

Hey congrats man, that's awesome news! {edit} I was too slow on the post, it seems -- my question was already answered.

Yeah it sucks. Both were very good shows, but I suspect they both were fairly expensive to make (particularly the Unit). I guess their ratings weren't enough to bring in the kind of add money needed to make them profitable.

Well it looks like I'll be watching a lot less TV next year. What I was watching: Flashpoint (hopefully it will still be shown up here) The Unit (glad that it kind of wrapped things up at the end of this season) My Name is Earl (here's hoping it gets picked up by Fox or ABC) Reaper (the plot...

I thought the trailer looked a little dodgy myself, but this tirade was a little much, don't you think?

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a Trek movie this much. Like others, I didn't think it was perfect: the villain was mediocre (and I like Eric Bana in general) and the plot had some "huh?" moments, but overall it was a bloody good time. Kirk and Spock worked well, though my favourites...

They seem to dominate the D&D book sections around here (Winterpeg) last time I looked.
