Thank you for reminding me of why I know the name Michael Snow.

I'm no big fan of scans_daily, so I can't speak to whether or not the site as a whole fell under 'fair use', but I know that in every instance I encountered it, that's how it was being used. Every time I've followed a link to s_d it was in the context of someone reviewing or critiquing a comic. And in those instances…

TomWaits- I know I'm one to talk, given how frequently I use Amazon, but if you want to support a quality independent store online, Powell's is your choice.

DBW and Snape- 'Deserves'? what is the connotation here? is there an assumption that putting on the big screen is 'better'? That once something is good, it should be a film? I don't get it. Why not just say that it deserves to be read more?

I'm just throwing in my two cents: I love comics, novels and films as art forms, and I can honestly say I almost *never* think one should be adapted to another. In general, the comics I like are the ones that make best use of the medium, and can't easily be adapted to other forms. And much the same for films and…

Bah. Y'all just reminding me of other things I disliked about those seasons!

I don't think Marti was all bad, but I think as she gained more and more control over the show she took it in directions I did not like. One of her more notorious quotes is that her view for the show was 'Party of Five with monsters'. I hate the vision, and I can completely see how it affected the show. I wasn't going…

My big disappointment with the judges last night was their blatant focus on their own expectations, instead of on the food. It seemed like a departure from their usual critiques. I can't count the number of times they said something like: 'This isn't what we expected from you.' Who cares what you expected? Is the food…

Thanks Stiletto, even though my response is way down here in the mental porn section.

Ellie, a Marti Noxon *fan*? Yikes. Should I even ask why?

Stiletto, you had to mention her? I swear to god, anything Marti Noxon touches turns to shit.

Glory's Ben

Oh, no mention of Jewel Staite? How dare you snub the fans of Flash Forward and Space cases?

There's still a working Odyssey II with a collection of games in my parents' basement. Anyone up for Attack of the Timelord? or Turtles?

wait, my tags interfered with my post?

Don't forget those Microsoft ads.

You too, Sybil? Are we all going to b&w imagery now?

I really love Eco, but idk that I would go around recommending Foucault's Pendulum to people. It's brilliant in its own way, but also rather very tedious at points. For a fun romp around giant conspiracies theories, I much prefer the lluminatus! trilogy

Oooh, dueling rumors!

Bucky- Just to trade rumors, the story I heard at the time was that Jackson had approached New Line with what he thought was a bold proposal: to make two films, instead of trying to fit it all in one. Weinstein asked him: 'Aren't there three books? Why not do three movies?'…follow with story of big gamble, etc…
