EDIT: It feels like it's been so long, but I seem to actually recall you mentioning your baby before at the time. Sorry for my forgetfulness.

She was born March 20th.

Forgetfulness?!?!?!?! The mother-truckin' OT is coming out on DVD, possibly for *real* this time, and you're worried about remembering minor details about me??? Perish the thought my man!!!

I've found the best adjustment settings for your TV, while watching any of the SEs or the PT is as follows:

1) Press the 'Power Off' button on your TV.

2) Enjoy.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it with all the talk about the release but did anyone else notice the article was careful not to really bring George Lucas *into* the whole situation?

In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

"Over the years, a truly countless number of fans have told us that they would love to see and own the original version that they remember experiencing in theaters," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts and Senior Vice President of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We returned to the Lucasfilm Archives to search exhaustively for source material that could be presented on DVD. This is something that we're very excited to be able to give to fans in response to their continuing enthusiasm for Star Wars."

Perhaps a mutiny of more level headed individuals prevailed, or perhaps the 100s of people depending on LFL for a paycheck?

Either way... WHOOHOO!!

Having just watched the full trailer online I'm struck with the feeling that to me it seems more like a half-assed remake/retread rather than a bold new Superman movie. I really honestly think I'll avoid this one.

I do want to at least give this a watch.

As for the cell phone thing that does sound a bit gratuitous but then again the Japanese are cell phone obsessed like no other culture on Earth... way moreso than here in the U.S.

exactly, first contact is a really solid movie.

I didn't say it was *bad* and if by solid you mean 'not total crap' then sure. I saw it in the theater thinking 'meh that was entertaining for the last last two hours' but found it totally forgettable after the fact. I personally saw nothing incredibly moving about it as a movie- I saw it as more of a decent episode of the TV series, albeit a long one.

But on par with 'Kahn'? Not in my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions.

This idea is total and utter bullshit and hopefully will die a full and early death.

If they want Kirk-esque adventures (and who wouldn't... I remember watching the first episodes of TNG and wondering how Picard et al would be able to stick flowers into the gun barrels of their enemies... but oh wait they wouldn't have time because they had to have a 45 minute board meeting to discuss the problem) they should consider mining the Peter David novels in the 'Star Trek New Frontier' series.

They're the only Trek novels I've ever read (at least the first few) as a friend had recommended I check them out knowing how much I dig Kirk- and I wasn't disappointed! Fun sarcastic adventure without being too over-the-top snarky. Good stuff and reasonably separate from all the other ST nonsense going on. Hell the only TNG or after Trek show I ever dug was DS9 which became interesting after the first season or so.

Here's a list from an Amazon user of the 'New Frontier' novels:

Geez, I have at least a weeks worth of catching up to do...

I did read IC: Secret Files and enjoyed it as well. Its nice to have some gaps filled in regarding the mental turns that Superboy, Earth2 Superman and Lois, and Alex Luthor went through to get them to the point that they're at in IC. I still don't agree with *all* the editorial decisions made but we'll see how it comes to a head in the next two issues of IC.

I'm reading '1602' now and am at issue 6 (of 8). Its been very good so far but I will say that its probably one of the weaker of Gaiman's works (yet a weak work from Gaiman is still a strong work!). I think the problem is probably, again, editorial control from Marvel. So far it doesn't smack me as a Gaiman 'inspired' project but more something that Marvel dreamed up and looked for a writer to bring it to life.

I just bought the first TPB of the series 'Godland' and really look forward to reading it. I've heard good things about it and if you're a fan of Jack Kirby and his trippy 60s/70s comic creations I think it'd be worth reading. Just glancing though it and looking at the art brings a grin to my face.

I too am sorry for the losses Jedisage.

I had kinda a scary week last week (which I'll post about elsewhere) but the result was a good one. Just the thought of where things could have gone kinda rattled me to the bone. No one can ever know how one will take events nor know exactly how experiences like yours will affect them in the long run but as others have said if there's *anything* we can do to help just let us know.

We geeks have to stick together in good times and in bad.
