Lunch is done. Work is finally done, although I do have to do some tomorrow *grumble, grumble* working on a holiday is criminal *grumble, grumble*
Now to play on my computer
CP: Alpha Protocol
Kewl. I’ll send you a friend invite if you are interested.
TEB: How are you enjoying that one? I’ve heard mixed reviews. It sounds like it has some fun over-the-top fun, but some serious game play issues. It would be interesting to hear your perspective.
ditto, I only just picked it up yesterday so can’t give a real review yet. I’ve heard that it has a very good over-arching story line along the lines of Bioware stuff, but some of the shooting/fighting/etc can be buggy. I decided the idea of story outweighed the other issues for me.
CP: Locomotive Breath — Jethro Tull
PC Gamer gave it a pretty decent score

For comics, what does TPB stand for?
TEB: That’s been the intriguing part for me too.
Trade Paperback.
It’s the industry term for the larger non-hardcover books.
Mass market is what they call the regular-sized softcover novels.
I knew you’d know, ditto!

Tainted Prophylactic Bubbles?
Terrible Penguin Bullies?

Going to see a matinée’ of Toy Story 3 today.
I need suggestions for how to keep from crying in public.
Just go with the flow, Joe. ;)
CP: Knights of Cydonia — Muse
CP: A Lot Like Me — The Offspring
Ugh. Today is dragging.
Joe,
Just remember that, if you’re not crying, you’ll be the one standing out.
J0e, maybe you can wear big sunglasses into the theater?
I’m hoping to see TS3 before the week is out. Maybe I’ll bring sunglasses, just in case.
So far, I’ve held off on buying any of the DLC for Mass Effect or Dragon Age. This might get me to bite:

Whatcha think, TEB?
OMFG The Last Airbender is getting destroyed….. whats that leaving so fast? Oh its M.Night’s career.
Ive never seen Ebert give a film a half a star, its rare that AV Club gives films an ‘F’, and not even the hack early critics on Tomatoes liked it. This film is a microcosm of this summer in general. Well done Hollywood.
I think it’s good to have you back among the living, Ed.
And btw, all of the 60 Lines II readings have been excellent! You guys have really delivered.
Only waiting on 8 people. No pressure (yet!), the segment will probably run next week, if I have all of the parts covered.
Lo Pan: that’s a shame, but not surprising. WTF happened to M. Night after “Signs”?
I even found “The Village” tolerable, but the quality did keep slipping…
How the fuck could he screw up The Last Airbender? The story was pretty much handed to him on a silver platter from the TV series. My whole family has been looking forward to this one.
Fuck, i say, fuck!
What Ed said.
I’m not one for working out plot twists in movies ahead of time, but ‘the village’ was just so predicatable…

Oh, yeah! Canada Day! Woot! :-) What to do… got a full day of work*, so I’ll probably just listen to my favorite Arrogant Worms songs when I get home.
*The City of Temecula is taking Monday off in honor of the 4th of July, so I do get a break.
ditto: I’m looking forward to Tron, too.
Lo Pan: Dude. I’m really disappointed to hear that. I regret that I didn’t follow the animated series because it seems really cool, and I was hoping for an awesome movie.
*sniff* :cry: Back from TS3
Not the best of the 3 but maybe that’s just because some of the “new” has worn off.
Still most excellent.
Jack – did you get the files I sent you?
The Last Airbender was an incredible series, but I have been concerned for three reasons. 1. M. Knight. The Sixth Sense was a fantastic movie. EVERYTHING else he did was atrocious. 2. The story arc of the series played out across three seasons. Compressing it into a single movie is just asking for massive cuts in character development and plot line. Zuko especially requires a lot of time to develop from a total prick to a reasonable person. 3. The series was too perfect as it was. Any change was bound to ruin it. Focus too much on special effects (like Hollywood could ever do something like that) and other aspects are bound to suffer.
That said, my daughter really wants to see it, so I will wind up going and suffering through it. Maybe my low expectations will work to my advantage and it will seem better than I expected.
I find low expectations always do me right when movies are concerned. Just turn off the old brain.
EssBee – Take it slow, be strong, accept the failures but don’t let them derail you. You can do it.
TEB – My cat isn’t tipsy. The printer is. And it’s drinking the good stuff. At least, for what I pay for the ink, it had better be good stuff.
We have a high concentration of lefties in the

YAY!
Who posted the EW Twilight covers link? I started reading the comments and I blame you for it.
Gah. Stupid people.
I can’t put my finger on it, but something about the way the kid playing Ang (Aang?) moves just feels wrong to me. Like, bzzzt, wrong.
