Hey Jorge, wrote about Surfer Silverman over on that Planet Hulk review.

"Mabel, I thought you said the TV guy fixed the contrast on this dag gum machine!"
I hope they still have dark sets. I'm not sure I could handle seeing old Conan in a brightly lit room.

Hey I felt sympathy too, sorta. Not strongly, but still. Felt bad for all of them getting yelled at by old Baldy. Would have been interesting to see how Pacino's character would have handled it.

Yay, Stiller :)
Great to see Stiller in a role like this.

I still think they should have chosen somewhere else than Antarctica to shoot the lobster scenes. It's going to raise the production costs way too much.

This'll be trippy
I wonder if they're going to bombadil the shape-changing wolf guy or whoever that was. I forgot that guy was even in the book until I reread that part. I guess I was a Rankin Bass kid for a long time.

I definitely buy that argument, but I guess I came at it with the thought that he must have done some ugly things to get where he was. Whether or not he was really successful at it, he got to that point doing the same lies that he was helping Roma— I mean Pacino with toward the end. Selling crappy properties on…

I'd ramp it up a bit so it got more play, I guess, but rabid fanbases may start out by giving a franchise a lot of money, but they seem equally willing to tear stuff down if it strays too far.

It has characters from Skies of Arcadia? Wow.

and by guys, I mean the given name?
I don't know a lot about pop culture, music especially. I hate that I learn more about influential people through their death than anything, but I guess it's better to salute people than never know about them.

A car accident in slow motion
Only watched this recently. It's got energy, but at times I guess the style felt a bit too thick.

S'been a while, Jorge, but I watched the first six eps so far on my DVD. I still love it. It's still got a good measure of cheese and it's DEFINITELY space opera, hitting the big notes, talking about collapsing worlds, living planets, all that. There are times when I think some animation purists will balk at the…

I wonder if they could just subtitle releases like this, so we could see the original product rather than being afraid of us going all colonial on their asses for putting in mature content.

Tantric Sex of Gaming
Reading reviews of this game is giving me Might and Magic IX flashbacks.

"As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're no longer a mathematician, you're a numerologist!"
One of my favorite all-time films. Is my adult Star Wars, in the sense that I've watched it so many damned times. Only with Pi I approach it from different angles and get something a little different out of it each…

Oh, OK. So what did Tim Burton do, then? …Produced, I see. OK, I take those back.

TGTrek
Maybe this is the last episode because Kirk realizes when he's in a woman's body that he's not having any crazy urges, and then realizes that his rambling days have been wasted chasing after a fake ideal?

Maybe I don't have decent enough experience in crime comics, but…
I read this to prepare for the movie, and was sufficiently discouraged by the book not to see the movie for many years. I felt that the only part of the story that felt like it had punch was what made this book have two people as authors, the surprise…

Burton…
Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride weren't inventive?

I think if you start by thinking in terms of marketing, though, you miss the point of making a good game. Start with a good game concept, then work backward toward the market. Thinking like a bunch of ad executives is about as constructive as the marketing community has been for games targeting women for the past 20…
