- Okay, I've seen the latest "Battlestar Galactica." And I have to say, I feel it was the worst episode yet. The dialogue was generally clumsy and obvious, the characters kind of dull. I didn't like the whole thing where Adama talked to what'shername, and she tells him he should get the fleet back together, and then he decides he should get the fleet back together. "We need to reunite our family!" That was just lame. Adama has really been a different person since he woke up. And I guess that's accurate--that kind of trauma can really mess you up. But I liked him better before.
- Dude! You can play video games on the big screen in a movie theater?! This needs to spread to other theaters outside Milwaukee, and the price needs to go down a bit. Then I will be all over it.
Of course, you would have to practice whatever game you're going to play at home first. If you mess up playing at the theater, you mess up in 80-foot-tall grandeur in front of a hundred people.
- The international trailer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, via The Movie Blog. Looking good.
- An interesting (though also rather depressing) meditation on capitalism and how it really functions from Wired's newest columnist.
- Via kds: in case you were wondering, yes, Pat Robertson is still completely insane.
- This pleases me inordinately. Anything that makes Bush look bad or inconveniences him in any way is a good thing in my book. Plus that No Child Left Behind thing was bullshit from the beginning.
I've got to come up with some reason to sue the federal government, too...
- I received only two (2) responses to my email about the next Game Day, so I'm going to try again here: I'm thinking of having a game day on Saturday the 17th of September. Please let me know via a comment (or an email, or a carrier pigeon, or whatever) whether you can attend, and also whether you'd be interested in playing in a Diceland tournament (I would provide lessons and dice).
Btw, bonus points to anybody who recognizes the reference in the title of this post. |
