I plan on watching Bloodbeast, and then a mix of genres and eras of the show:
The Giant Gila Monster for the forced-perspective monster movie. Phantom Planet for the outer space soap opera. Untamed Youth for a '50s teen cautionary tale. Boggy Creek II for the southern-baked sci-fi era. And finally a Sandy Frank special, oh...how about...Mighty Jack.
Sounds like a delicious feast of a plan.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Lippert. Your work brought tedium to the masses. We are all the more bland because of your life.

P.S. - I've never understood what ">", with names on each end means. Mr. T has done it a few times over the years but I never got what it was supposed to signify. So it's a dig of some sort? > means greater than. So Torgo is saying that Maxwell Smart is better than James Bond (and he's right). And Torgo > 99% of posters in the board's history. You will be missed, Tot-G.

let's hope they follow through with it. joel made a comment...i forget which talk show it was, about coming back in february and what a hit the halloween episode would be during valentine's day. That was exactly my concern. And isn't the episode where we meet Jeff's dad a Thanksgiving episode? Brilliant move, NBC.

So if the Giants go on to win 2 more games, that means I'm either a) an astute observer of baseball trends, b) secretly from the future, or c) uncannily lucky. I sure hope it's B. I just want the Cardinals to go away. I want them to lose early and painfully. Unfortunately, they're like cockroaches. They won't go away and they won't stay killed. Even though I would love to see a Nationals-Orioles World Series, I need to be honest with my picks. NL: WC: Cardinals NLDS: Cardinals & Giants NLCS: Giants AL: WC: Baltimore ALDS: Yankees & Tigers ALCS: Tigers WS: Giants Just thought I'd point out that we have someone batting 1.000 so far.

I've also been having hang-up problems lately. Usually my status bar tells me it's the ads ("waiting for ads-doubleclick") that aren't loading and the page grinds to a halt. When I refresh, I get the "Can't Connect" gray screen. Last night, it crashed my whole internet connection and I had to reset my modem.
This is on Google Chrome on my Mac (version 10.8.2).

I don't know what it was originally made from, but if I were to recreate it, I'd spray silly string all over one of those big styrofoam balls. Then use modeling clay to make the letters, spray paint it, and Bob's your uncle.

Once Rush gets in, my righteous anger will go towards ELO's exclusion.
Public Enemy would be cool, though.
I rope a dope the evil with righteous Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even C'mon down But welcome to the Terrordome.

I still have a shot at a perfect prediction. Thank you, Barry Zito!
I hate cheering for the Giants, but I'll be dead in my cold, cold grave before I EVER pull for the Cardinals.

Looks good. Nice reviews. I'm one who prefers KTMA to season 1 (and even most of seasons 2 & 10), so I love reading detailed reviews of those episodes.

Argo
Mrs. Atari and I went and saw it this afternoon. It was very awesome. There are still a lot of fall movies I want to see, but Affleck had better get a directing nomination. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The cinematography, performances, editing and overall feel were spot on, which is all a credit to the director. Affleck's acting was pretty reserved and (almost) stiff, but his character was supposed to be a no-nonsense CIA operative, so it worked. Alan Arkin and Bryan Cranston were stellar, as always.
Worth all of the accolades it's getting.

It's a big day for me. I'm finally for sale on Amazon. Maybe someday I'll have a book up there, too.

Words can't express how much I hate the Cardinals. This is the 3rd season in the last 6 when they don't even deserve to be in the playoffs, yet keep winning after all statistical probabilities say they should lose.
I'm the biggest baseball nerd I know. I've never found anyone in my direct life who enjoys baseball more than I do. I'm the guy who will watch a Royals--Blue Jays game in mid-June for fun. So why do the baseball powers hate me so much? It's like MLB is trying to get me to quit being a fan. I'm done with this year's postseason now.
Frickin' Cardinals.

Yeah, if it's the Cardinals and Yankees, I don't think I'll watch. And that makes me very sad because it's the stinkin' World Series. How can I not watch?
If you asked me for my 5 least favorite MLB teams, 3 of them would be the Cardinals, Giants, and Yankees. If they're 3 of the 4 left in the playoffs, I'll be bummed. And also the biggest Tigers fan in Colorado.

Looper
I'm a sucker for time travel movies, and so help me, I've always liked Bruce Willis. But most of all, I like originality. There was nothing cookie-cutter about this movie, and that made me love it. However, there was also nothing redeeming about it, and that made me hate it. It was incredibly nihilistic and dark. There wasn't a protagonist to be found-- everyone was dirty.
The concept, acting, and direction were incredibly enjoyable; the plot points, characters, and theme weren't enjoyable at all. I walked out of the theater simultaneously impressed and depressed.
