QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) Went and saw "A Christmas Carol" on the IMAX and 3D. It's visually awesome and I liked it a lot. I never read Dickens book, but the ending was different from anything I was familiar with. No, that's the standard ending. I enjoyed the remake too but it won't replace the 1951 Alastair Sim version as required annual christmas viewing.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) We all know that 8 wasn't the magic number thanks to Jon and Kate. But that 18 kids and counting family is still together so.... I'm gonna go with somewhere in the 15-20 range. That's a big load you're heaping on the Breeders.

QUOTE (Felix @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) I think I'm going to see the Experience Hendrix Tour when it comes to Minneapolis in March. Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped. Getting to see Billy Cox is one thing, but getting to see him alongside the ridiculous lineup (including Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and more) they have at each show is going to be awesome. Yeah, that could be a great show.

Balcony fixtures Statler and Waldorf always gave Fozzie a hard time.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) He would have changed the end. Harry would morph into Voldemort. And then Joaquin "Faukes The" Phoenix would bash his head in with a baseball bat Quidditch broom. Stunningly brilliant and totally original.

A third Ghostbusters installment is a truly horrendous idea, imo.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) I hold you and only you responsible for Bubo Bubo rocks! Bubo is actually the scientific (genus) name of the great horned owl, so that makes the real Clash of the Titans doubly cool.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:10 PM) I like the look of the Kraken. I was wondering how it would be "re-imagined". Im sure flaxx will hate it because it doesnt look like a clay doll, but whatever I'll only hate it if it sucks. I know you well enough ( I think) to suspect you have more respect for the pioneering Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen stop motion animation than you're letting on. But if not, then

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 01:00 PM) The new Clash of the Titans trailer looks awesome. Sorry FlaSoxx, it just is. Ray Harryhausen will be 90 years old this June, and if the CG in this unnecessary remake sucks and it kills him I'm holding the movie and you responsible.

How did a cool fella like me get surrounded by nerds?

Hope it's a good one.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 13, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) REMEMBER THE TITANS! Quality suggestion there. Have you ever pondered the parallels between the Titanomachy (the overthrow of the Titans by the upstart Olympian gods) and the Christian mythology of Lucifer's revolt? Other than the outcome of each war, the similarities between these "Heavenly Wars" as well as others occurring around the world are interesting.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 02:26 AM) Two to replace yourselves, its the responsible thing to do. More responsible would be for us to have less than two offspring per family because the human population is already to large to be considered sustainable. I already blew that with my second kid, of course.

Girl. Boy. Done.

Sweet! The Backwards Alphabet has two Ts now.

Unlikely to happen but I think it would be funny if everyone started calling him Cheetah now.

Turns out I had another 2005 Samichlaus stashed away that I had totally forgot about and am happily enjoying right now. It's a friggin' Christmas Miracle I tells ya!

With the newest allegations by Hollywood madam Michelle Braun — if true — the final number is going to be a lot higher than that.

Yorick from Hamlet was dead and buried and still he was happy he wasn't Tiger Woods instead.

Also it could get you a date with Tiger Woods.
