How would it shorten the playoffs? You'd still have the same number of rounds, all still best of 7. Plus, you can't have byes in a sport that doesn't play single elimination...it's too much of an unfair advantage to the teams getting them, taking away from the unpredictability that makes the playoffs great. I don't mind the system they have now. It beats 16 teams advancing out of 21, like it used to be. And eight weeks isn't that long. I couldn't have put it better myself.

Well, Boston won and Philly tied, so we have 1. Tampa 2. Boston 3. Philadelphia 4. Toronto 5. Ottawa 6. New Jersey 7. Montreal 8. New York Islanders Let the Battle of Ontario MMIV commence!!

I think it's too close to April 1 for anything to be taken seriously right now.

Comic Book: The Movie - 7/10 Fun stuff, really just a whole mark out disc for comic/animation fans (all the princiapl actors are voiceover artists). Plus cameos by Kevin Smith, Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, and Hef.

Yes, yes it is. Original Jam, my cousin KILLED people with the Pistons: Thomas and Lambeer. Yes, Lambeer.

Uhh maybe he has it for sentimental value? Or to say he has one of the worst games ever? The only thing I can think of is wrestling game completist...

I'm shocked that you didn't devlop a headache from trying to figure that out. All I know is that the Leafs have home ice against a "dream opponent", either the Habs or the Sens. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty excited about this.

Actually, the character of Elliott is a gay ACTOR trying to break into the business. Christina Milian is the singer that's trying to break into the business. Interesting side note: I read somewhere that Elmore Leonard was thinking of Rocky when he wrote the character (hey, read the book), so it's kinda ironic that Rocky actually ends up playing him. Anyways, Be Cool will probably be Rock's big "breakthrough" role, as it really doesn't call for him to do a lot of action, and it's definitely a twist on his usual character.

I read about Playmakers getting bumped back a bit. No biggie, as long as it still comes out. Friends Series Finale comes out May 11, a long, long 10 days after it airs...

Link to the Toronto Star article I guess this is what happens when you don't have as much pull as the RIAA...

My love for comics (and del Toro's obvious love for the material) skews me towards Hellboy. Plus, who doesn't want to see Ron Perlman do well?

Pretty much sums it up. Wasting three good actors like that is criminal.

Since I got no love in the music folder (or maybe not enough people care about what happens outside the US), I'll tack this on here as well... Source: The Toronto Star

Yeah, maybe I should have put "Death Metal" in the header...

Well, Avengers/JLA was well worth the wait. Except for maybe the deux ex machina-ish ending, but that's to be expected. For the most part it's just straight up action with George Perez showing exactly how insane he is by drawing HUNDREDS of different characters within a 48-page span, including variations on costumes (and in the case of Beast, secondary mutations. No Original or X-Factor spandex though, as far as I could see). PICK THIS BOOK UP.

Bumblebee would be more like the GBA. And his transformation to Goldbug would be the GBA SP...

Avengers JLA #4 (Of 4), $5.95 (and about fricking time, too) Transformers GI Joe #6 (Of 6), $2.95 and that's about it, really...

Columbia's running a poll to "help" them choose which of their library of shows should be released on DVD. Here are the choices (and there are some good ones too): Action Dark Skies Diff'rent Strokes The Facts of Life Fantasy Island The Flying Nun Grosse Point Hart to Hart I Dream of Jeannie The Naked Truth (which frankly was watchable only because Tea Leoni is cute when she's goofy) Ned and Stacy One Day at a Time Pasadena Police Story The Single Guy The Net The Street Maude T.J. Hooker Mike Hammer Street Time Get a Life (but don't they already have some DVDs out?) Going to California Strong Medicine Give it a vote. I'm putting in one for Action, which never got enough love from the viewing audience...

Sony is evil too. Actually video games is the Devil when you get right down to it... Video games bad!! Books good!! Eh, maybe not. Truth is I'm not buying an X-Box because I can't be bothered to buy a second system... Now I'd pay to see that (if, you know, it were real). A badass whose grasp on vocabulary is rather minimal, vs a badass who is insane. Yeah, they're gonna be focused on triple word scores the entire time...

Movie/TV agent, I think.

Hey, it's "only" three women. Compared to, say, Evander Holyfield, Murphy's completely faithful... If he was Mormon you would have no problem with it...You ~NON-MORMON-IST Actually, my late maternal grandfather had 5 wives and 14 kids (by only 3 of them though, and I'm Chinese, not Mormon in case you're wondering.), so really, I don't have a problem with having so many kids by so many wives. Except for the fact that I've got something like 100 aunts, uncles and cousins to invite to my wedding. Now, if Murphy had all of these kids out of wedlock/affairs (like Holyfield), then I'd have a problem with it. I'm not really big on cheating on your spouse or not using a helmet if you're single.

If Microsoft weren't evil and trying to rule the world, I buy an X-Box...

I heard a clip of our boy this morning, and it was not good. But apparently only Fantasia, Jasmine and George were good anyways. Still, John could be out tonight. The thing is that in order to succeed he HAS to put on at least a 3 star performance every time, while remaking a song to fit him. It's still at a point where popularity can be a difference maker (meaning that I think that Camille will go) but he's gotta step it up.

Just got back from "Walking Tall". I'll call it about 6/10, and I guess I'll start another thread about it...

Yep. The only thing that was missing was Orlando Jones...
