Ginger Snaps

I watched the series premiere when it aired a half hour ago. This is supposed to be CBS' version of 'Lost', or so I'm told. The premise seems kind of interesting, but I thought that the premiere was kind of boring. And Skeet Ulrich is no Jack Shephard. Or Sawyer. Mmmm.........Sawyer. I'll give this another episode or two to pick up then dump it if it doesn't get better. Did any of you watch this? Do you have any thoughts about it?

Only the usual portions of it. Yep, Black Friday indeed.

It's Batista. Yawn.

I'm surprised no one made a thread about this show yet, since there's like a thread for every other new show. Anyway, I saw the pilot, "Pie-lette", this week, and thought it was really, really good. It was funny and quirky and kind of light-hearted, even though the show revolves around death. I liked the concept and the actors all did a fine job, and the characters are just different and interesting enough to make things fun. It gave me a bit of a Tim Burton feel, if he wasn't quite as dark as he usually is and was making TV shows. Also, Jim Dale as narrator! Hearing him as the narrator brought a smile to my face.

I watched it but I'm not sure what is exactly going on with this show. What's the plot? They're supposed to be investigating mysterious viruses every week?

Mysterio's a lot smaller now that he's off the juice. And he has more ugly tats.

The Icy Hot Stuntaz should totally be in the White House. I know a guy who looks almost exactly like the guy on the far right. Only not as orange.

Just smoke a cigar you philistines.

Who enjoys this shit?

There's an easy way to improve the city of D.C., but it's not politically correct to mention it. It's called "gentrification". It's already begun happening, which is why PG county is terrible now.

There's still an hour and a half left in the show.

I can't believe they actually gave him the title!!!

No, it's a big loss. Injured or not he's like their biggest draw. Smackdown gets raped early this year unless they do wind up with Cena.

They released it in the wrong time of the year. This shouldn't be a summer film. If they had released it in the spring or the fall, they'd probably do pretty okay, but it's going to get destroyed by everything else out there. A 60% dropoff is never good but I think this one will do better than the other Hulk film because this one will probably have more longevity. Unlike the earlier Hulk movie this one is more of a popcorn action flick so it'll probably still make a good amount of money for the next few weeks due to repeat viewings by comic nerds and people looking for a fun action movie.

It's like Interview with a Vampire for the Myspace generation, only a lot less gay and a lot more soap opera angst.

That might improve the taco

If there is a god he must never let this woman conceive again.

Why is that? Maybe because of McCain's record of voting with the Bush Administration 95% of the time in 2007? Maybe because of McCain's history of voting against the Katrina investigation, then lying about it? Maybe because of McCain's open endorsement of the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Maybe because of McCain's ridiculous economic proposals? Maybe because of McCain's continued support for the Iraq War? Maybe because of McCain's apparent complete misunderstanding of Iran's government? Just a few hypotheses I have on why someone would support John McCain. Because you had several months to convince me that Barack Obama would be a better choice than Hillary, and you didn't. Not at all. So now that she's gone, I'm supporting the candidate I think is at least competent. Which, IMO, isn't Obama.

So. Looks like it's McCain 08 for me.

Whoa, that's a big drop for Narnia, but maybe it'll have longevity as the first big summer family movie. At least until the cartoons start coming out. Will Iron Man be the first film this year to break $300 million?

This season was such bullshit.

Oh my god, this show has driven me to tears.

Has anyone seen Redbelt? I don't like MMA but I want to maybe see this because it's Mamet and it stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, who's good in like everything he's in.

This movie was horrible. ANd now I think I hate Emile Hirsch.

Unlike Katrina, this really is 100% the fault of the federal (Burmese) government.
