For fuck's sake, nowhere did I say I disliked it, or got upset during the quiet times. It's just that the trailers came across as a totally different movie and my expectations were elsewhere. I suppose you are perfectly happy with the pacing of every flick you've ever seen? Have you even seen this one?

Nope. But the ads for the movie made it look like it was going to be more of an action thriller and the first 10 minutes looked like it would be, but then they eased way up on the throttle as we watched Clooney walk the streets of an Italian village, sprinkled with bits of conversation and the rare action sequence.

ugh
"Muted" thriller? That's an understatement. Lots of long shots of Italian villages and landscapes, lots of walking sequences, sipping coffee in cafes, etc. I guess I was expecting a bit of a quicker pace—especially when the story has been told so many times before.

And you were expecting *what* exactly in a comics roundup?

It's a dog. Not many rock songs about pet dogs. Long live Zeppelin! WOOO!

"except maybe Thundarr"
Really? They are reviving Thundarr and his sun-sword? And Ookla the Mok and the oh-so-hot Ariel?!? One of my favorites as a kid, and I continue to dig post-apoc stuff, but looking back, the animation on that show really did suck ass—or at least donkey dicks.

Hiding vikes?!?
When the hell did he put those there? And why didn't he bust into 'em when he was melting down at the end of last season? He sure didn't put them there between the time he admitted he needed to get help and when he left for the looney bin.

Same as Heart/Head, but without the enjoyment—or Cuddy in a schoolgirl outfit. Damnit!

My wife thought they hired high school students as propmasters. I think that's an insult to high school students.

When I see WO's avatar, I can only see Jason Jones from The Daily Show…

But will there be a BOAT?!?!
I loved this game if only for the point where you advance far enough, you take a side-road and get on a FUCKING BOAT!!! There's a canal in every episode!

maps?
As a cartography nut, I'd like to see more maps of the battles at the beginning or as part of the story, so we get a better sense of the moving battle lines. Yes, I can google them, but having a cool animated map or a marine gesturing at a hand-held map, cigarette in hand, would help fram the battle.

Dub Side Of The Moon
I loves me some 'Floyd and from what I've heard so far, this isn't half bad. The Easy Star Allstars version is a good cover, too—at least humorously so. The bong hit sounds in place of change rattling on Money is classic.

I'll pay closer attention when I watch it again with my wife who went to bed early.

Damnit! Left out "shouting shlogans"!
