Shareaza lets you do that? I heard about them a long time ago...thought it was just a "multiple" p2p tracker. It does torrents now? I may have to look into it.

But let me guess...you need the .torrent file and can't search the network for it to work, right?

Wasn't Family Guy ALWAYS about random pop culture references and nonsensical plots?

I thought that was their gimmick.

Well, here you go. I knew this was supposed to happen, but I never thought it'd be true. But its true. I played it on my recent trip to Atlantic City.

Star Wars slot machines. They're penny slots at the Borgata.

Casino player article

It was fun and I managed to win some money from them. Woo.

I play on Sargeras. Its great. Took a break for a couple weeks thanks to Xmas.

Anyway, I like undead and tauren. They seem to have the best racial traits.

Classes is up to your preference. Like fighting? Play a warrior. Sneaky? Rogue. Healing? Priest or Druid. I play a priest and a shaman. Like 'em both.

Trust me. It hurts watching this team this year. They weren't prepared for the new NHL and "explosive" offense, which is quite similar to the Olympic style of play.

Brodeur isn't doing well because of the team in front of him. (I'm a Devils fan, I know.

) They lost a lot of key players this past year and its hurt them.

At least they beat the Rangers the other night.

Michael J Fox is doing TV spots. He was on Scrubs and will be doing Boston Legal coming up.

Just read that in the TV Guide this morning.

Well, he couldn't get it ALL wrong. I sort of envisioned his rise of power through manipulation as well.

Although, I didn't like the way the Emperor became old, as mentioned. Force lightning against himself. Pshaw.

Wasn't Henson involved with Hitchiker's Guide? I thought those puppets were well done as well.

You'd think puppets would be the way to go. I even heard that it can be cheaper to use models and puppets than CGI. It might even look more realistic.

But honestly, who cares about realistic when you have all this money to throw about, right?

No rush. Not a matter of life or death or anything...well, not yet at least.

Just appreciate you doing this for us. If it takes 2-3 weeks, so be it. At least Ill have it.

Lando and the Falcon originally were going to be destroyed in the DSII's explosion.

There's even foreshadowing of that when Han says he feels like he's never going to see the Falcon again.

Would that make it more dramatic as well?

I was talking to a coworker about the way I was feeling about Kong...now I realize I haven't seen it yet and that I shouldn't judge it before I see it...but I think I realized what it was I was feeling...

Its a remake. I'm sick of remakes. I don't care if its going to be a successful one or fail miserably. I think I'm just fed up of the good ol' rehash.

Here, I may get shot down for this but...

Am I the only one who thinks King Kong could be overrated? I checked rottentomato, and reviewers are toting it as the "best movie evar." Could I be the only one who feels that this may not be as good as the hype?

It's sad that it has come to this.

Actually, he never admitted to doing anything.

Did Luke know Obi-wan's last name?

Its actually been a while since I saw it, but I remember Luke calling him "Old Ben"....was there a point he said Ben Kenobi? I don't remember.

Actually, my gf and I watched the old (late 80s) BBC Narnia series on DVD...well, only LWW so far...just to remember the times when we were younger and watched it on PBS.

Man, the acting wasn't so good...they used cartoons for special effects...the costumes were so-so...Aslan's puppet/costume was nice looking, though. Even by today's standards.

Anyway, my point is...it would take a lot to screw this book up in movie format. It's a great book and even though the BBC series was cheese, we still thought it portrayed the book decently enough.
