3 persons have something to say about this!:
(3) I've never agreed more. (And now if you fix it, my comments won't make sense.)
(5) Another reason to wait for a boxed set rather than pick up the specials one by one on DVD. Sigh.
(6) The only thing I understand less than the sexy vampire craze is the 3D craze.
(9) Did Singer learn nothing from his 70s worship in Superman Returns?
(10) You mean now anybody can do a spacrashed infant story?
(13) Yawn.
(14) Boo. (These two news back to back are typical of what I find dreary about the RPG industry.)
(15) I'll check that out, cuz I do. Among other things!
(16) Long sightedness is always better than short sightedness.
(3) D'oh! Human error ;-D
(5) I doubt these documentaries will be in a series box set, even the Dr Who Confidential's get cut down for the DVDs.
(13) I felt (as a non-attendee) there was a distinct lack of interesting news out of Gen Con this year and that it was a shame that the 4e juggernaut appears to be trampling all in its path.
(14) And it's a real shame about Daring Entertainment, they seemed like decent people with a lot of ambition.
(18) Just heard an interview with the professor of the group that wrote the study in question on the radio yesterday. Especially interesting is that the model only showed one effective way of dealing with the zombie menace.
