Historical footnotes tracking: So at this rate, I'm now wondering where Season 5's going to end up in the historic timeline.  Based on the grim tone of most of the news they're referencing, my money's on Apollo 1.

Goldblum's character opens a kosher deli in Noble's Holler across the road from Limehouse's BBQ Joint.  Uneasy alliance between Limehouse and Boyd's old supremacist crew ensues.  Stuff writes itself.

A friend had a Odyssey 2, and we whiled away many a summer afternoon with Conquest of the World and K.C. Munchkin.  There doesn't seem to be punchline enough to cap this, so I'll leave it and my pathetic summers at that.

The gameplay on many iPhone games is not that far removed from a lot of the Atari 2600 games.  I think that most programmers will tell you that a good game is a good game, but yeah, for many younger souls it's hard to get around the blocky graphics.  Having said this, I'm hard-pressed to think of a better four-person…

Or Custer's Revenge.

Fuck Reuben Kincaid!

Ah, good.  I was worried that Neil Young managed to patent a new calendar system on us while we weren't looking.

"(A)n iPod for the 21st century"?

But only just passable as a Walt Whitman interview.

Because there can't be enough scenes involving Kate Winslet and digital insertion.

I had an Atari when I was a lad, and never had the desire to purchase or play Flag Capture.  Now I have the Atari app for my iPhone, and I actually find it surprisingly fun (mind you, many of the games on the Atari app are not very playable on a small touch screen.  I can never see the clowns in Circus Atari because…

Oh for crimminy's sake.  Why not just shorten it to Ninjles?

West, I think.  Somehow I can't see a dystopian TV movie critical of group conformity being produced in the East.  Although, maybe they could do it ironically or something.

Apparently there was a German TV movie made from "We" back in '81.  I've never seen it, would love to get my grabby little dystopiatainment claws all over it…

…“alien” angle…

Well, if they make movies in which William Shatner speaks Esperanto, then why the hell not this.
