I didn't know the game was called Zero Wing nor did I know it came a Sega Genesis game. But I have heard "All your base are belong to us." And I've seen the video that was created. Hilarious. And to think that game was distributed with such horrible translation. So much for quality control.

Ummm... Carrey is a comedian as well. That's the problem right there. His manic comic performances soured him to the Academy regardless of what else he has done since that time. Robin Williams is a comedian who has also done drama. Much more so than Carrey has. That's why we're saying that it'll take years before he earns the Academy's respect. Once he's done as many dramas as Williams and can do so convincingly so that everybody can forget who he once was, then it'll happen. I'm not saying Eternal Sunshine and Man on the Moon are not convincing pieces of dramatic acting. They've just come really soon after his manic comic turns. They still can't take him seriously. Say he had been dramas for another five years and then did Eternal Sunshine, I think he would have been nominated and would have a very strong chance of winning.

Well, I know all of them except Dando. So do I get an explanation or what?

Oh, and here is a new joke...

All the women I know must have gone to the same school to learn the definition of these words, as they are universal in their specific meaning with all of them.

Words Women Use

Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".

Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!

Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

Here's another bit of news that doesn't seem to bode too well in my mind...

Disney Unloads Mighty Ducks
Despite questions about whether the National Hockey League will continue to exist after cancelling the entire 2004-05 season, Broadcom co-founder Henry Samueli and his wife Susan have agreed to buy the Mighty Ducks hockey team from the Walt Disney Co. presumably at a fire-sale price. Actual terms were not disclosed, but some reports said that the deal was worth about $75 million. Disney had paid an estimated $50 million expansion fee to launch the team in 1993 but is believed to have lost hundreds of millions of dollars since -- as much as $31 million last season alone, according to one report. It even reportedly lost $12 million in the 2002-03 season, the year it reached the Stanley Cup final.

2. usually the Academy Award goes to a film that does not have explosions,guns pseudo-fantastic era swordfights.

3. I do not recall a best picture winner that had Van Diesel in it.

4. Million dollar bady had none of these things and was (imho) a movie for smart people.


1. Not that they hate him, they just can't get the image of him bending over and making his ass talk out of their heads. It is difficult.

2. Nada to say

3. Almost had one with Saving Private Ryan but Shakespeare in Love won that year.

4. So far as I know, I would have to agree. Just from what I've heard as I've never seen it.
