Well, as much as I enjoyed Hellboy, I don't think there's a snowball's chance in Hell (pardon the pun) of Perlman winding up on the Academy's nomination list.

I agree that Fellowship is great. However, when I compare EEs to Theatrical Editions, I must say that, in my mind, the EE helped TTT's story so much more than Fellowship's story. Fellowship didn't really need the EE footage to help it; it was a great movie in and of itself. However, I liked the theatrical of TTT much less than FOTR. But, when I saw the EE of TTT, I was so blown away by the additional footage that I now absolutely love TTT as a result. I admit that TTT, overall, has more faults in it than FOTR. I liked the TTT book ending much more than where Jackson chose to end it. Stuff like that.

Just my opinion of course.

Enough abbreviations in my message?

I'm really surprised that Gyslain's lastname has not made it out into public record quite as easily as the videos. Considering that his classmates were the ones who proliferated the original video, you'd think they'd throw out his entire name for maximum embarrassment factor.

Sorry, link on second pic was bad. Go to the Web page linked above and click on the other image shown at the bottom of the page. It shows the detail work on his pants, belt, and hands.

This bad boy is going to be about 1 1/2 feet tall. That’s too damned cool.

Here’s a Sideshow Toys webpage for more info and to order…

Well, if that were truly the case, they never would have been interested in him in the first place. Did anyone see how small Sosa was this past season compared to seasons prior? He was a shadow of his former self. It's my opinion that he dropped the juice before the '04 season because of the controversy with him and the corked bat in '03. Afraid of an investigation. So, considering how badly he did in '04 (relative to previous seasons), they never should have been expressing interest in him period. There might still be hope.

It was reported on the radio this morning here in Chicago that the Cubs #1 priority at the winter meetings is to dish out Sosa (yay!) and the second priority is to get a new closer (yay!). Also, the Cubs are on the verge of resigning both Todd Walker (yay!) and Nomar Garciaparra (yay!).

That's four big yays for the Cubs this post season. There will be a big huge mutha of a yay when Sosa is finally dished. C'mon Dodgers or Mets. Come through for us.

Sorry, not me. I refer to TTT: EE as "my precious". ROTK was so damned long just in the theatrical edition that I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the additional 45 minutes in the EE. But I'm a completist and seeing as how I've been buying only the EEs, I need this one or my collection will look off.

Starkiller, apparently that "little extra" that God put in Favre just wasn't enough.

Nice job, Eagles. Smack that Pack.

Motti, just discovered that one of my former college mates is on the Jets. Didn't realize he was traded. Justin McCareins at WR. So I'll root for the Jets in limited quantity.

Oh, and GO BEARS!!!! Had a little fun with our Norse neighbors! 24-14 with a great performance by our FOURTH quarterback of the season, Chad Hutchinson with three TD passes.

ASSES --> ASSESS ?

Although the resulting word is not singular in the sense of a singular noun, it is a singular action. Maybe I'm reaching.

No idea about the deer.

Very nice, Simon. You look it up, know it beforehand, or actually figure it out? Either way, doesn't matter. You get to pose the next riddle.

Then I'll take it...

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.

What am I?

Yummy.

Hey, did any of you read the newsbit on IMDb this morning about Kate Beckinsale and how one of the reasons she did Van Helsing was to prove that she can be sexy? Apparently, before she did Underworld, when her now-husband was trying to convince studio execs to cast her in the role, they said she can't be viewed as sexy because she's too "motherly". WTF is that? Am I the only one who thinks Beckinsale is a sexy woman? So then she did Van Helsing to further prove her ability to be "sexy". Too bad she had to do it in such a bad movie. But still and all the same.
