And the mastermind behind them both, The Cobbler.

Thanks for the insight. I'm feeling more and more motivated.

I really need to finally read/watch Akira. This was good.

I like the name 'Freda'.

I found Catcher kind of obnoxious, but that may have more to do with the teachers/peers/critics who treat it like such a great book. Because I could and still can kind of relate to the character.

If James Spader did come back…Stargate: Ultron.

Yeah.

Mae Whitman had better have at least a cameo in ID4.2

Yeah, I have always loved Stargate and while I enjoyed SG-1, I would like to see more exploration of the Egyptian-specific mythology from the original film. That sort of feel is most compelling to me. Some of the revisions made in the transfer to TV took away from the mystique.

Hmmm. I'm from Oregon. Fleet Foxes' sound makes me think of driving through the forests.

Well, CrashPlayer or UnusablePlayer might be the specific way that I would put it.

Yeah, cassettes were obnoxious in many ways, but they were physical objects from a simpler time, two things that I miss.

I had a Sharp portable MD player/recorder. It was a fantastic device, and MDs were superior, although I also always knew that they were doomed by arriving too late (to the U.S. anyway).

Yeah, CDs came out in the mid to late 80s I guess, but the average person did not gain the capability to burn custom CDs until the late 90s. In the interim, cassettes were he custom music medium.

I never had anything but problems with RealPlayer.

I'm interested.

I loved the anthropomorphic versions of McDonald's menu items that were in Happy Meals back, probably around 1990 or so. They were little plastic transformers basically, burgers or milkshakes or even the packaging, that became robots, IIRC. They were sooo cool.

Speaking of nostalgia, we already have it for when M Knight Shyamalan was considered a good director. That was way back around the time when Max Steel was born.

LOOK AT BANNER, MICHAEL!!!

Or your balls are overrated?
