well it was interesting... until the fake explosions of pixie dust at the end. if not for that, it would have at least looked like an odd cloud formation and not an outright hoax!

The Pierre Lapointe music makes it for me... we love Pierre Lapointe.

we loves us some Brian Dunning. His podcast is to the point, light, well researched and he's not afraid to make corrections when mistakes he's made are pointed out.

I managed the "Million Year Picnic" in Harvard Square fro years during the early 80's and anime was HUGE. We had toys, books, models, videos.. everything. Most of it we had to get directly from the Japanese distributors. Luckily we had an anime obsessed employee who learned Japanese just to buy stuff!

That was inspiring! Enough "edgy angst" superhero crap. Let's go this route for awhile!

That was inspiring! Enough of this "edgy" angst in superheroes, go this route for a while!

She was friends with a pal of mine, so I got the sad news shortly after it happened. I never met her personally but my friend Donna was always amazed at how she answered every fan letter she got. She appreciated her "cult status" quite a bit.

I love HDR photography with this kind of subject... it just fits.

@josephd: that's the one I had!

@Dances with Peeps: I have thought Ms McCarthy should be held criminally responsible for what she has started with absolutely no evidence to back her up. She basically has been yelling "fire" in crowded theatre where she is standing by the exit without a care for those who will get trampled to death.

@kallisti5: you make me almost want to watch it!

@8x10: I agree, and I never understand why anyone would think that spec of light is automatically an alien craft and not something a little more probable.

@John_Hazard: I think there is a good way to show the very strong connection between gay and geeks but this does not look like the way to go.

@Beatcamel: touché - I can't stop laughing now. I wasn't thinking of tv, but good point, i was thinking more how gays were portrayed in most media in the 70's. (I am old enough to remember it... at least in flashbacks...)

that photo alone shows it will be nothing but stereotypes... and stereotypes from the 70's no less.
