Easy.

And the Ass actually does it's job. Often more personable as well.

I miss the X-Files too.

I tend to lean the same way. I mean, if I had to boycott every piece of art because I disagreed with an originator, a great deal of my movie and music collection would have to be thrown out. But when they actively ($$) support it, it takes on a new dimension.

I can't speak for everyone, but the scifi friends I have who didn't go see it cited one main reason. They loved the book so much that they didn't want it ruined. But the friends who did see it said they thought it was about as good of a movie translation as could be done, but understood why people wouldn't want to see…

Along those lines, Tolkien made a great case for keeping characters and stories alive by telling and retelling them.

I knew their had to be a flaw in my logic somewhere. Afternoon, ruined.

I don't think those were comic books.

Fun post. Though I do feel the need to defend the Mummy Arrow. You need some way to quickly differentiate that particular arrow from all your other ridiculous arrows (especially the atomic one). And if you happen to be in to zany theatrics... like most supers are, then of course you would make the Mummy Arrow look…

The view from SD is very similar.

The picture of the hand painted lettering and the pics of the model train and DeLorean just made my day!

At least worth an honorable mention. Detective Frank Pembleton from Homicide: Life on the Street.

Damnit! I was going to post Thomas.

Nailed it!

While it likely is an oversimplification, it's also sad how many people I know who have ended up in the exact predicament you have outlined. Not to mention how many people are headed there. And that is just on the anecdotal level.

Agreed. And I used to eat really healthy a few years ago. Now that I am getting back in the habit, I am seeing that it seems even more expensive than it used to be (with inflation factored in).

Just a few years ago, there was a trend in intros and advertisements that utilized a sort of bleeding ink effect.

Losing Bêlit must have stung quite a bit too.

I was thinking specifically of Gen. 22:17. But even that is up for discussion as to whether it means there are more stars than sand. I think Jeremiah 33 touches on it too.

Which religion? Seems strange if they are Christians. Especially since equating the number of stars being more than grains of sand is right in the Bible.
