I thought the exact same thing. It's one thing if you bring in some big-time, A-list celebrity to do your commercial and he/she acts like a primadonna. But for some no-name to get pissy like that seemed a bit out of line. On the other hand, noone ever accused wannabes of being smart. I'm sure a lot of these actors develop the attitude first, and the resume second.

I'm not gay for MMA either, but it works on the same basic level as Tough Enough - it's a good primer as to what these guys go through. I'm actually interested to see how this will compare to The Contender. Yep. The guy is about as natural a heel as they come. If he didn't make it to the final four, then UFC would be stupid not to sign him up for a few fights.

What he said. You're not gonna get Emmy-level acting here, but it's good enough, and it doesn't take away from the drama of the series. I think that the Guerwitcz storyline on the whole was pretty good, even if parts were a tad unrealistic. And it's funny how all the stadiums looked like Skydome Rogers Centre, eh? I mean, they couldn't have gone to York University or Varsity Stadium for some outdoor games?

I think you need the motorcycle scene from 2, because that was probably the most "John Woo"-ish scene from the movie.

People say she has a weight problem??? WTF?? I think she's attractive- never noticed any weight problem. The problem with the image-obsessed society today is that someone like Clarkson is considered "fat" when in fact she looks perfectly normal. I'm with the both of you in thinking there's nothing wrong with Kelly. I need to download this show off BitTorrent, as I missed most of it, but I did like Amy's Jason/Justine line in the monologue, because I'd do the exact same thing. It makes absolutely no sense that you'd mix them up, but it was a nice touch.

Mike Ausiello's great at getting scoops on the shows he likes, and this is pretty yooge. But I'm sure some Disney exec is going "What is Abrams doing, giving the fans what they want? How DARE he?"

Curiously, where did you trade it in, and how much did you get for it towards the new model? I brought it over to EB Games and they gave me $90 for it towards the new one. Nice. I'm surprised that EBGames gave out that much credit...

I can tell you why I think they won't - it's because releasing a PG version in the theatres and releasing PG AND R-rated versions on DVD will probably make more $$$ and probably cuts out on money going to actors with revenue-sharing deals...

I think you need to remember that the comics industry practically owns the patent on retcons. And while continuity is important to a comics "universe" (unless it's a Bendis book), rules can and have been bent to allow for stories to be told. As for characters staying dead, it depends. If you're a popular character that was killed off, you can pretty much count on them being back. If you're a publicly traded company, you're gonna try and do these things to increase sales and satisfy shareholders. Sometimes, series get "reset" because the old one just didn't get the sales, or continuity gets too convoluted, so you might as well start over from scratch. The Legion of Super-Heroes seems to have benefitted from this, as they are now freed of "mainstream" DC continuity. Also, #1 issues tend to sell better than any other issue of a book. The problem, as always, is sales. Companies bring out new series all the time, but the almighty dollar is the main factor in determining whether a comic lasts beyond it's initial 12-issue run. Whereas if you write a book with Wolverine in it, you'll get better sales than "Team 888" (or whatever) simply because of the name recognition.

That's pretty much the long and short of it. As more people get online, they'll be able to update their rosters for whichever game they bought, so if you only make it look prettier, it may not be enough to get all the sheep to buy it.

Yeah, he could've. But he'd have to be Jack Bauer - Bauer would've shot a knee out first, and then said "Do not move again or I WILL kill you". Unless you meant staying in character. In which case I agree - the answer is no.

There's a short list, and it begins and ends with John. Expect the Token Black Guy to go fairly far though, since he's barely gotten any airtime yet. And I expect Bren to last about as long as Raj did. And is the right-leaning, bowtie wearing guy becoming a trend?

The funny thing is that the recent version (with Owen Wilson) was quite faithful to the book, save for the location (Hawaii instead of along Lake St. Clair). It's just that as a movie, it lacks spark.

It'd be great if Linden and Daly came up with an agreement, got both sides to approve, and then forced them to sign it.

Actually, that slot is so you can showcase a program, new or existing. NBC rode a hot hand and put Friends there. CBS has (twice, I think) debuted a new Survivor season after the Super Bowl, and rode that wave to own Thursday nights. Anyways, if AD does get cancelled I'd find it funny if another network picked it up and turned it into a mega-hit.

Thanks. It's in July. I make offhand comments about it here and there, since it's not exactly the focal point of the forums here. Just to let you know, both Aria Giovanni has some nice breasts. I suggest hugging her. And it looks like the Asian nude models are representing as well...

Nice free verse poem though. Funny how talks seemed to be progressing, then the Midget and Bob (since they need to be around for any agreement to be ratified) step in and the shit hits the fan.

Murder in Small Town X.

Well, Kristen joins Allison from Big Brother as the only people to go 0-for-2 in different reality game shows...

Connery accepted Knighthood though, so I guess he doesn't hate it THAT much...

It's on at the same time as Battlestar Galactica as well, so I tape the Galactica repeat...

Tell me you just didnt say that! I was thinking that too. The overall "look" is about the same. But in terms of features, Erin doesn't have that giant beak, and overall has a "softer" face that makes her look, you know, cute. - Angie and Audrey rule it. Kristen needs to go to the boardroom and play The Donald's twisted game. - I guess Erin went to masturbate? - And... Bren has a Horshack laugh? Why am I not surprised?

I don't think they'll be dragging 2 brats around. I think that it's 4 people with a preexisting relationship. So hopefully, they'll have something like "Maggie / Rocko / Silvia / Joe - Swingers"...

Oh God, whom do we have to thank for THAT pointless resurrection? Um, who do you think? Hint: It's not Whedon, Austen, Milligan, Hines, Bedard, Weir, DeFillipis, David, Nicieza, Lobdell, Calafiore or any other X-writer on a "minor" title.
