I know we had a bye this week, but I have to ask again.

What's up with them Chargers? This could be '96 all over again. AFC, here we come.

I got the impression many people were disappointed with Doom 3. And HL3 just came out today. But based on reviews, HL2 is THE pc shooter and trumps anything else.

Although in the multiplayer arena, I have no idea.

Didn't play it, but read the reviews. Sounds like the only complaint is that friendly AI blocks doorways and gets itself killed. Other than that, graphics, sound, weapons, storyline, play control, enemies, level design, mood...

Basically it got everything right.

I'm not a PC gamer, but when the xbox version arrives I'm all over it.

Wow, talk about a well-versed actress I've never seen. I've only seen O Brother out of all those.

Guess it's time to get out from under this rock.

...by watching the Incredibles again...

Which is a shame...I read another book by Barbara Hambly called "those who hunt the night", about vampires. It rocked my world (this was Jr. High, so I don't know how it reads as an adult). So I was REALLY excited for her Star Wars book. which was... not good. At all. What was it called? Children of the Jedi?

Yeah. I mean no. Got my fill of Ewok movies pre-puberty. Used to love them, though. I liked the super fast guy who looked like a goat.

As for Star Trek, I don't know if I need the special edition but I love that movie. I really liked Insurrection, too. It was less like a movie and more like a two-part episode, so it doesn't have the univeral appeal. But for those of us who loved the show, it was right up that alley.

Reference Monty Python's Flying Circus, season I. The expose (with an accent over the e) on men who lead dual lives as mice...

Anyone seen it? It's a great satire for all this stuff we're talking about.

I saw CSI once and it made me sick. Some bondage hooker got suffocated. There's a reason I don't go to bondage places and for that same reason I don't want it in my house

My picture of Grievous and how he moves in my head don't fit in with CGI strengths. So my only worry is if he is trying to be the way I picture him and he is CGI, it'll fail. Luckily, chances are that he won't be anything like I imagine, so I'll end up pleased. With the character at least.

I know we all want to have Zahn's children on this site (well, most of us) but I really was impressed by the Specter/Vision books. I thought in the original zahn trilogy he really captured Star Wars well, much better than the PT did. Then the PT started coming out, all these other books that more or less twisted the Star Wars universe into an entirely different beast than it was originally. What I thought happened in Zahn's second set of books is he not only re-captured the feel that Star Wars had before any of the extra stuff came out, but he actually used the expanded universe and twisted it BACK into what Star Wars used to be.

Like finding OT, those books really revitalized the whole thing for me.

What? ROTJ? What are we talking about here?

BG&E is awesome. I stood on top of the lighthouse for a while just watching the sun rise and set.

It's a short game, 5 or 6 sittings will do it (if you play 2 hours at a time). The controls aren't too tight, but the game mechanics aren't too demanding, control-wise. It's just a mesmerizing, enveloping game with worthwhile exploration and awesome execution. Highly recommended.

I always get stressed.

And then I stop blinking.

I guess I get drawn into that whole "don't find me" thing.

Wow, I thought the "fallen fruit" thing was a joke from "Keeping the Faith" (ben stiller movie).

I don't know if it being real makes it funnier or just frightening.

Maybe one night the midichlorians were smoking out and gave Yoda some "visions."

ROTJ I CAN remember the first time. Or rather the second time, but at that point I didn't remember the first time, so it was all new to me. I was home sick from school and I watched. It was so gosh darn exciting. I think because i remember how it felt the first time I still like it a lot (see ROTJ sucks thread)

I was a couple months old when ESB came out. And I don't remember anything from when I first saw it, or even when it was. The first two movies just sort of fade back into my consciousness as far as my memory goes back.

No, Joan Cusak did Jessie. Holly Hunter (who I don't know) was Elastigirl. My girlfriend thought the same thing though. Guess the voice caster likes a certain tambre.
