Lethal Weapon 4 had Jet Li... can't remember it well enough but I think it was OK.

That's some good advice. Maybe I should have added a :) or ;) to be more clear that my "How dare you" was also in fun, but IN YOUR FACE is how twobyfour seems to like it... For the record I didn't think he was serious calling them "predecessors", but heed the PSA twooffour - brevity is the soul of wit.

For the record (and I've already mentioned it somewhere here, but no one should be expected to find it) I CAUGHT your "in fun" remark, and the "predecessors" part was PLAYING ALONG.

I clarified this for twister's benefit as she said I seemed perplexed. I UNDERSTAND that you CAUGHT it and were PLAYING ALONG, no need to SHOUT!

It's a bit weird that you find offending and "butthurting" someone hilarious, maybe that's why we are having trouble with your sense of humour. It is good to see that your posts are becoming shorter :)

Just break the rules! I picked five.

I type my code rather than using the picture button.  So I have no idea how this is happening.

Oh well... a wizard did it.

I noticed while my pages were taking an abnormally long time to load, that Frink uses the description field in all his pictures but not majority of us do not. This is an accessibility feature that helps make the interwebs more accessible to visually impaired users. I will use this in future and encourage you all to do the same.

I do what now?

Type a description for your pictures? If I am making stuff up then nvm, it makes you look like a champion for web accessibility, so just smile and nod ;)

Still not sure what you mean.  Where are these descriptions you speak of?

When the box comes up to add a picture there is a field to paste your link. Underneath that there is a field to add a description for the picture. If the picture doesn't show up (or you can't see it) then this description is displayed instead. While my pictures weren't loading I noticed that all your pictures had said description... If it isn't you doing it then I am mystified.

Maybe you have a fairy godmoth3r or something.

He's just having one for the road.

Don King.

In the last year or two Oreos in Australia have changed; the packaging says 'More delicious filling' or something but tastes terrible compared to the old filling. It tastes like dough to me. Not cookie dough, regular dough. And it is grey intstead of white! I used to love Oreos but I hate these new ones.

The last tasty thing I had was a garlic prawn wood-fired pizza. I got them to put bacon on it too - I'm sure to some of you that makes me a philistine, but others will recognize my genius.

Doctor Dolittle.

Where is Sunset Newday?? Is she coming back to change her avatar or did she take the LEGO and run?

This thread got derailed pretty quickly and I am partially responsible, so:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Still funny.

Episode IV... How dare you.

^ For some reason that makes me want to see Adventure Time a lot more than your original recommendation...

Just watched the latest episode of Futurama - LMAO at "Burgle-arson-arceny".

I would go without the new King Kong if it meant I definitely never had to decide whether or not  to see a remade Wizard of Oz.

Um,...

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910)
The Wizard of Oz (1925)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
The Wiz (1978)
The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005)

Yeah.

 

:p

Tonight on It's the Mind:

Déjà vu - that strange feeling we sometimes get...

Yellow Ledbetter is one of my favourites! I also like Australian Crawl and am still deciphering James Reyne's lyrics to this day...

Also, one of my favourite Ella Fitzgerald songs is her Mack the Knife where she sings a whole verse about not remembering the verse :P

I am beginning to agree with this theory. So what if occasionally there is a good remake? Paying to see remakes perpetuates the proliferation of remakes, which are mostly bad and take resources from more original ideas. I would go without the new King Kong if it meant I definitely never had to decide whether or not  to see a remade Wizard of Oz. I would definitely not watch a remake of Jaws or Star Wars. The idea of some movies being too iconic ties in with the problem of only good movies being remade. At the end of the day it's all about money, not ensuring a better retelling or providing a respectful homage. I think you would actually get my vote.

Direct remakes banned, retellings allowed with different names and the original acknowledged in "based on" or "inspired by" parentheticals; reinterpretations of source material, reboots of franchises or costume designs, and actors to play James Bond decided by a public poll of those 16 and over who pass a basic knowledge test, and Ziggy Stardust. Sorted.

^ probation!

Doctor Doom for the double!

Wait...

No Scattergories until after dinner.

Lyrics Born

Just watched the pilot of Alphas. Might be the best live-action super powers TV I've seen since season one of Heroes. The rest of Heroes sucked, No Ordinary Family sucked, The Cape sucked, Smallville sucked. Misfits is pretty good.

The plot wasn't brilliant but I liked how they just started the show without long character introductions and everyone discovering their powers. The cast seems pretty good - I've always liked David Strathairn and the tech guy is hilarious. Some well written episodes and arcs might make it a show worthy of not being cancelled.

She doesn't live under a bridge, does she?

How can she be a troll when she doesn't have her own computer? ;)
