I like the role reversal. Too many games in which you are the one doing the hunting. Sounds like fun.

That's a rather personal question, sir.

These diabolical aliens are apparently flying around in lilliputian ships shaped like insects! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

George Lucas beat you to it.

I actually saw a Pinto on the road a few months back.

Or compared to stowing away on a German sub.

I spent a few years in he south, and Waffle House always had one of those reputations that it was the kind of place you shouldn't eat if you were black. Let's say they're the southern equivalent of Cumberland Farms or Cracker Barrel. I hear a racist dog-whistle in the above tweet.

I'd have to guess that this is by far the most offensive of the Seussploitation flicks, especially given that book's point is that there are greedy bastards out there who will commoditize anything — including allegories about the fact that that they're nothing but a bunch of greedy bastards who will commoditize…

Coupon code for the Dell PS210 portable speaker is invalid. Just tried to buy it.

I find some of the plotting to be pretty contrived. And the female lead is absolutely awful. But the premise is just interesting enough to keep it going, I think. And I absolutely love the warden. He, alone, is worth the price of admission.

My problem with the RIM OS is that it doesn't, or at least it didn't, sync your contacts, etc., unless you plugged it into your PC. Maybe they've fixed this; I don't know. The reason I like Android (I'm on my third phone) is, the fact that I don't ever have to think about whether I have someone's information with me.…

What I don't understand is why they don't start building Android-based phones with the curve keyboard. Lot's of folks would probably buy one of those. This would, at a stroke, make RIM relevant once again. Instead, they stick with their obsolete OS. I just don't get it.

Ghost Boat!

Morricone's scores are endlessly fascinating. I love how each of the main characters has his or her own theme in Once Upon a Time in the West, for example. I will say, however, that I wish they would fix the guitar work in this scene. It's waaaay flat and has driven me crazy for decades. I think my favorite piece…

The German angle is interesting, given that the same types of fires have occurred in Berlin in recent months — though I believe they caught the Berlin guy. Rather an odd coincidence, if you ask me.

I remember him once saying that parking a particular Mercedes with a bad turning radius was "like parking a moon."

How will I ever contain my ennui, err, excitement.

So, what do I use to remove the olive oil stain?

I was think that the wireless carriers should, you know, invest the fucking billions in profits that they're making to upgrade their data networks and increase available bandwidth. But, it's so much easier to do absolutely nothing and then charge people more for your not doing it. The Underpants Gnomes were on to…
