    Favorite song

    Yup, too many styles and variance of mood to really pick one as an absolute, but ... Since my favorite all around musician is Kate Bush, my favorite song is probably my favorite KB song, and that's probably "The Big Sky". The temptation is to say the funeral song is Bruce Cockburn's "Tie Me...

    Dating Myth or Truth?

    I'm really just amazed to find another Bokononist, thought I was all alone ...

    Women Heroes in the Movies...

    It's all about script quality. Character name recognition? Nobody had heard of Luke Skywalker or Indiana Jones before SW and RoLA, didn't seem to be a problem. Audience not ready for a femme who can kick a man's butt in a fight? Then why is Emma Peel remembered fondly after doing just that...

    The stupidest movie ever!

    yep, I'm going to join those who defend "Zardoz" as an interesting experiment, that does actually entertain at some moments. Some of the others mentioned, however ... it's hard to say what's more irredeemable. Supergirl ... I rewatched it on TV once to see if it was as bad as I remembered...

    Worn out scenes

    Here's mine: the Obligatory Captive Escape Attempt. It seems that if you have anyone detained by anyone else (other than sometimes the police or such), and there is some hero-type coming to rescue them, it is not permissable to have that person sit tight with help on the way. Either the...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    Okay, I know this is picking something up from a couple of pages ago, but yeah, love how the avowed nonconformists of this world all have their groups of people within which they all copy each other. It's why one of my favorite commercials of all time is that Dr. Pepper one from the 70's. "I'm...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    Thanks for that "chick secret", Mythago ... I've suspected it for a long time now, but it's nice to confirmation from someone in a situation to know.

    Green Lantern Rebirth (Spoilers)

    Barry will be back when DC remembers that he was a "police scientist" and sees how popular forensic fact and fiction is right now on TV. Anyone ready for "CSI: Central City"? :p

    A sample of mine

    Sorry I didn't get anything up yet; holidays proved to be extra busy for me, and here I thought I was gonna get a break! Drachenherz, I couldn't find the pics of your stuff, would like to see them even though I have no actual need (as opposed to want) of any minis painted at the moment. But...

    how to hit on girls without being creepy?

    Torm, according to what I see posted in my workplace, that's not a joke. The way it's phrased, any expression of interest is harrassment if it's "unwanted". No chance given to take "No" for an answer. Which is taking a good and decent rule into the realm of sheer stupidity motivated by paranoia.

    Best fight scene?

    I still laugh when I watch the battle over the bean curd in "Wing Chun" with Michelle Yeoh. It's crazy, but it's fun.

    Avatar...Finally!!!

    Mine's a Sialia effort as well, in part at least (see the sig)

    Call of Cthulhu: The Nature of Madness?

    Yup, that's it exactly. Exposure to Mythos knowledge, beit from reading the Necronomicon or running for your life in the opposite direction as that Shoggoth over there, causes the human brain to undergo experiences it cannot experience. And if that contradiction wasn't bad enough, the brain...

    Batman Begins: New Picture of Bats, and he pities the fool!

    Bah. Rubber muscles. He looks like a Batman action-figure, not like Batman.

    A sample of mine

    Thanks for the colors! Sorry I haven't seen it till now, but I haven't checked in here lately. However, I will be having some holiday time off, so maybe I'll get a picture or two drawn to post by 2005. Coloring efforts welcome on those if and when they happen as well, of course.

    Roger Zelzany's Amber Chronicles

    All this praise for the Amber series. OP says it's all over Amazon, we see so much here, and I've heard it for about 3 decades personally. I hereby claim the honor of being the voice of dissent. I didn't get into the first book, but when we come to the end! Someone above says that in the...

    A sample of mine

    Thanks, guys, for more kind words. I'll try to get some more stuff up here sometime soon. I usually don't get around to the degree of finish that pic had, and I'm a busy boy at the moment, so no guarantees at this point, I'm 'fraid. Though that comment about it looking like a professional...

    What exactly makes Math hard to some people?

    The most common reason that people suck at math, or at least aren't better at it ... ... and I stress, most -- as has been noted, everyone's different, but as has also been noted, the general lack of ability in the populace is appalling ... ... is that the first thing most people learn about...

    Batman fully revealed!

    Well, any hopes I had are now dashed. When I heard they were starting over and the new Batman wouldn't have anything to do with those horrid Tim Burton fiascoes and sequels thereof, I looked forward to a potentially decent show. But it's still a guy with rubber muscles, so obviously the...
