Count me in as psyched for Watchmen. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’m just now getting around to reading the graphic novel. When it was actually new and all the rage, I was a kid reading comic books, but for some reason the whole “ZOMG! Adult themes!” thing didn’t really capture my attention. I was more interested in a super-duper heroes in bright spandex than complex anti-heroes with real world problems.

I’m glad I didn’t attempt to read it as a 12 year-old knucklehead though, because I’m sure I would have been turned off by the dark undertones and a story that was grounded in Cold War reality. I probably would have ditched the book and never come back to it. I’m reading it now with fresh eyes and I’m totally immersed in it. It’s a fascinating read and a real treat.

I’m skeptical that the movie will be able to capture the full spirit of the book (for instance, I hear the whole Black Freighter subplot is going to be a totally separate mini-film. WTF?). What little I’ve seen in the previews seems to be promising, though.

Goob: Absolutely, I’ll likely buy the upgrade license if its being discounted for a limited time, yet not do anything with it until some kinks are worked out. I think that’s why my Vista experience has been satisfactory, I got it almost two years after it came out.

Fake Barry, do what the rest of us have done. Give up hope on any meaningful updates and use the site as a forum. I was mad about the AC bullshit myself, but just say screw it man. Like anyone here remembers the storyline anyways lol. So forget Matt, who cares if he doesnt give a crap, talk to the people here that do. There’s apparently plenty of em.

What I’m actually betting is a “Remanufactured” Panasonic Toughbook CF-27. Not a lot of current gizmos, but lots of potential for add-ons and upgrading. Also, that comical “anti-theft” feature from the cell phone ad. More like “anti-theft/pro-concussion” feature, if you’ve ever seen a Toughbook. And it helps avoid the “owe me a new keyboard” thing, since while researching it, I found a amazing amount of photos of people pouring water right on a running Toughbook. While it’s on Mail order lay-away, I’ve been looking at the accessories offered at the local Wal-Mart, and already have my eye on a little four-port USB hub, among other things.

Circle, circle, dot, dot…….. I’ll have a ham on cheese, Kosher dill, chips and a diet cream soda, M.B. Truth is stranger than fiction, Judgey-wudgey. Nyuck-nyuck!

Pizza Hut is doing a deal where if you buy a large pizza at regular price, you can get a medium pizza for a penny, so I had delicious pizza today.

The Digital Switchover happens today here in the Sooner State, the OKC Thunder unveils its’ mascot tonight (I hope its a giant pair of thighs), and Groundbreaking for the Anadarko McDonalds was today! Ran-ran ruu! And it’s kite weather again, too.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 02/17/2009 4:42 PM EST


no JLAJRC, it appears to be true… apparently in April there will be a Jane Austen style zombie movie, and then next year its Pride and Predator… i wonder if the predators will be all like… steampunk and whatnot… I dont know about you, but steampunk predator aliens is something i would pay to see!

Ghosted by TOmmy! @ 02/17/2009 4:55 PM EST


JLAJRC- I want to see that now.

Steffanio- In that spirit, and now that more friendly people are back, I offer this poll- In an epic battle to the death, who would win- You decide!

The Advent Calendar Clown or Pennywise?
Scores:
AC- 1
PW- 1

Ghosted by PlantMonster @ 02/17/2009 7:22 PM EST


Gotta go with Pennywise.

Now if it was the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, it might be a different matter.

I want to see that new Pred movie that’s in the works! How could you not after readin what it’s about.

PW is official shorthand for Phoenix Wright.

I hope Mare and Kuse had a decent Valentine’s Day despite the crap from the evil-doers.

Ghosted by Beachball @ 02/17/2009 10:33 PM EST


I would go with the Advent Clown over Pennywise, because the advent clown has the allmighty “Evil Eye”, and Pennywise is just a dumb spider…

Because i am a huge nerd, i am currently RE-watching every episode of Densha Otoko… did anyone ever see the movie? Was it better than the series?

Ghosted by TOmmy! @ 02/17/2009 11:32 PM EST


Well, you can’t excite ‘em all. Not all the time.

I consider my success rate to be an excellent track record, and I don’t even have to use gravy most of the time.

Ghosted by Rev. Back It On Up 13 @ 02/17/2009 11:55 PM EST


Tommy!: Actually, just to be technical, Pennywise is some sort of cosmic being. The spider form the losers club saw at the end of the story was simply all their minds could handle seein, so that’s what PW true form was to them. His REAL true form is that of dead light. Not tryin to change yur mind, just pointin that out. Yes I’m a nerd for knowin that. lol :)

Ghosted by ULTRAMAN @ 02/18/2009 12:14 AM EST


Yo, this thred is Krazy YO! Anyway just thought I’d reply to some of the topics.

1. The new F13 looks promising, but I think I’m gonna wait for the DVD.

2. WATCHMEN looks like the shit,and is definatly on my list of things to see.

3. Had a good V-Day. Got the wife some flowers and a CD. She ordered my present off of Amazon so I get it some time this week. Unfortunatly, the wife and I had a romantic/sexy evening planed. Then she got a chest cold and the gift from mother nature on the 12th. She says she will make it up to me later, which is nice.

4. Has anyone thought of the possability that F.Scott is actually X-E Matt! Just thought I’d throw that out there.

ROCK ON!

Ghosted by ALAH @ 02/18/2009 4:21 AM EST


Considering Matt mostly hates novels, I would think if he were fond enough of any single one to spam chapters of it, it would be a bit more exciting than The Great Gatsby. Maybe Jurassic Park. I wonder if you can make ASCII fractals…

Hey, speaking of, a “vast cache” of Ice Age fossils were found out by the La Brea Tar Pits, including an 80% complete mammoth! Very cool: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090218090539.htm

Pennywise rules!!! For those of you that never read the book, The nerdy dude that sprays the inhaler at him in the movie, is afraid of being a virgin his whole life. So they have to gangbang the chick to beat pennywise in the book. lol go Steven King

Rev, I read that as “gravity,” which somehow yielded the same effect. :)

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 02/18/2009 5:56 PM EST


I control gravity. That’s because I’m the Big Boss of Gravity’s Area.

So we have some stats-
Advent Calender Clown- 2 votes
Pennywise (the Dancing Clown)- 3 votes
Who will win?!?!? I DON’T KNOW!

Oh, and Rev.- Tell gravity to lay off a bit. It needs to relax.

Ghosted by PlantMonster @ 02/18/2009 6:51 PM EST


Which one of you guys control Gravy, because I have a few ideas about that.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 02/18/2009 6:59 PM EST


Rev. can excite me all the time, anytime.

I don’t really “get” steampunk, but I’ve seen some steampunk Star Wars and Marvel stuff I thought looked pretty friggin’ cool.

Oh, and Pennywise beats the AC clown. Because they all float down here.

Muppet Baby:Pennywise is supposed to be fear itself incarnate. That’s why he scares all his victims before he kills them. Also they apparently taste better to him when they’re afraid. His arch enemy is The Turtle. I shall post more of my geek knowledge ,upon your request. :)

Woo! got weighed in on Monday again…3 pounds lost this week for a two week total of 7.2!!! Weight watchers makes these awesome dark chocolate rasberry cookie bars….they taste exactly like the dark chocolate rasberry jelly rings you get at candy stores.

Oh and was I the only one enjoying Great Gatsby? I need to pick that one up, and add it to my read once a year book collection. I have a bunch of books I read once a year

Gone With The Wind

Scarlett(GWTW sequel)

Memoirs of a Geisha

Growing up Brady:I was a Teenage Greg

A Million Pieces

My Friend Leonard (A million pieces sequel)

Little Women

I keep meaning to add IT and Carrie and a few other Stephen King novels too, as well as Gatsby.
