I worked at a movie theater for a about two years, and it got real old real fast. Within six months you're going to get sick of coming home smelling like popcorn. You're going to get disgusted by the sight of butter. Free movies sometimes become a burden if your friends try and take advantage of it. Nothing like seeing the same movie multiple times just so your buddies don't have to pay. Overall it's a pretty terrible job with very little reward.

That annoying dude on Youtube who has like a million subscribers just for playing videos made by other people. Ray something?

I came to say this guy. Ray William Johnson. Whenever I open my YouTube app on my phone I see that he has featured videos, so I finally watched one this past week. I didn't understand why it had millions of views and wound up looking him up on wikipedia to discover he's the most subscribed person on YouTube. I just don't understand.

Potential Spoilers


I really was hoping that 3 would take place in modern times. It just feels like there is too much to do in such a small amount of time to have Desmond be in the Animus for a large chunk of the game.

After the opening text crawl with the comments I totally knew I was in for something special. I've only watched about fifteen minutes of it. I had a lot of stuff going on so I had to stop but I jumped to a few different moments to see how they where recreated and it, overall, is amazing. I really hope they do Episodes five and six soonish.

I like confident release dates. I hate having a game announced then waiting four years. Diablo III...sigh.

A lot of peoples problem with Resident Evil 4 HD was it didn't have a graphical overhaul like the Halo Tenth Anniversary edition. It just was an HD upgrade with nothing done to the textures. It looks superior to the other versions, but it's not what people expected. I honestly think most people think HD conversion means redoing most of the graphics.

On topic. Just watched the trailer, and wow. It looks very impressive. Should be a quality action game and probably will be more scary than 5. Unless it get's delayed I will for sure be playing it November 20th.

Playing all the music by one band. Three albums. It'll play through three quarters of one album then play a song off of one of the other two albums. Then it will play three quarters of the first album again. I hope this improves eventually.

I don't understand how all those people are so mad that they got corrected that they fail to see the humor in this profile. Is it a strange, kind of sad, waste of time? Sure. But it sure is amusing. Especially the profile picture.

Also, I guess I got this from some trailers or whatever but I thought Half Blood Prince was going to focus a lot more on flashbacks and Tom Riddle then it ended up doing.

And this is a large part of my gripe against the movie. They cut out a significant amount of the Tom Riddle back story, which was basically the driving force of the novel, and added an action scene that doesn't even make sense in the story.

I'm in the minority here, but DH1>DH2. I'm not going to spoil anything so I won't go into details. Maybe once you've finished the series.

Half Blood Prince is a steaming pike of feces, but I'm just bitter about what they did to the book. As a whole the series is enjoyable. How you enjoy the last two films.

Thus far I've played XIII and Dark Forces. So many childhood memories of that game. I downloaded it on Steam, along with the rest of the Jedi Knight games about a year ago and have probably spent less than an hour total playing the various games. I should remedy that.

RotJ now canonically also has Gungans and Hayden Christensen to further knock it down a peg.

Oh god what did Lucas do now

Back in 2004 when the original trilogy was released on DVD two of the changes that where featured Gungans being added to the universal celebration that was added in the Special Editions and Hayden Christensen replaced Sebastian Shaw when Luke sees the spirits of Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin. That, in my opinion, one of the few changes Lucas made that I have a gripe with. Most of them I more or less shrug my shoulders at, but that change is a terrible choice.

The main problem I see happening is people are going to go into the film with unreasonable expectations and will ultimately feel let down and call it a bad film. I have hopes for the film, but recognize that matching the excellence of the first two might not happen. The preview makes it look excellent and fills me with nerdy glee, but I'm trying to keep my expectations at a realistic level.

If you dig Metroidvania type games Shadow Complex is a must. In my opinion it's the best XBLA game out there. Also if you don't mind paying $15 for games that are about three to four hours long check out Braid, Limbo and Portal: Still Alive.

The third Austin Powers movie is absolute garbage. I honestly feel that series is a major 1>2>>>>>>>>>>>3.

The original Star Wars trilogy fit it closely. Sometimes I feel A New Hope is better than Return of the Jedi and sometimes the other way. Both are quality flicks.

I was going to say Lord of the Rings, but that's really hard to say. The problem with that one is it is truly one story. A problem arises in the first movie and there isn't a resolution until the end of the third one. It was written as a single novel and, more or less, filmed as a single long ass movie.

I know absolutely nothing of the man who's going to be playing Bilbo, so I'm going to be looking for a promising first glimpse of his performance here.
He certainly looks fantastic in that picture!

He was perfect as Arther Dent in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie from a few years ago. I'm hoping he does just as well here.

I know it will probably just be a teaser but I'm probably going to squee so loud.

About twelve years ago when I was working at a movie theater I sold tickets to a pro wrestler named X-Pac (i think that was it) and his family. After they had left the box office stand three of my coworkers came up to me excited that I sold tickets to a celebrity. I was totally confused until the explained that I just sold tickets to a pro wrestler. Apparently my coworkers had been impressed that I wasn't all giddy like a school girl while talking with this X-Pac guy until they realized I had no idea who he was.

Around the time it came out a friend of mine played me the album "Fallen." He really enjoyed the album and thought it might have been right up my ally. Overall I didn't care for it. Just wasn't my thing. Then "My Immortal" started playing. I have this strange obsession with the piano and found this song absolutely amazing. Couldn't care less about the rest of the album, but that song was fantastic.

Imagine my surprise and happiness when one day I hear it start playing on the radio. I couldn't believe they would ever play it on the radio. It just was so different. Then it happened. The piano solo was raped by some idiots decision to replace it with a heavily distorted guitar solo. I literally yelled "What the **** is this ****?" quite startling my girlfriend. It totally destroyed the song. To this day I will change the station if it ever comes on. I loath the music industry.

What is wrong with Lockwood. It's steampunk
You answered your own question.

I really wish parents would consider what sort of impact the names they give their kids will have on them with other kids in school. Don't set your kids up to get made fun of!

In my condition it's all about damage control. I have the last name Cox. When things where getting serious with the woman who became my wife we were talking baby names and she was dead set on Chase for a boy. I put an end to that pretty quick.

Most deaths get a "Well that kinds of sucks" reaction out of me, but this time I can honestly say that I feel the world just got a little bit darker. By no means am I an Apple fanboy (only Apple gadgets I've ever used was my dads old Apple II and my 4th gen iPod), but the man was brilliant. Whenever Apple holds a press conference, while I know I probably won't buy their new product, I always pay attention because it'll probably be something interesting. I just hope his successors can hold up his legacy.

And also I'm at a loss for words over Margie Phelps tweets. If there is a god I somehow have a feeling he would be embarrassed by her.

I have about 400 pages left of A Dance With Dragons. I'm trying to figure out what I want to read next. I really want to read Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, but I don't know if I really want to dive into another 1000 page fantasy novel. I might read the fifth Dresden File book. Or maybe Horns by Joe Hill. I also have downloaded about 30 free books onto my Kindle and haven't had a chance to check out any of them. I also really want to reread The Sandman. I really don't know what to read next.

I'm open and willing to listen to any Republican candidate except for her. I'd go in for Pawlenty sooner than her and I don't think he did a particularly good job governing my state. I suppose he did better than the current people in office, but that is beside the point.

Also why does everything think Abrams was still in charge of the show?

That has been what I've been asking for a long time. Creatively speaking he had nothing to do with show for a long time.

My main issue with the last season was, to me, it felt like the whole "alternative universe," as the kids where calling it, seemed like a cheap excuse to get most everyone back for one final group shot. It had it's moments. I honestly enjoyed most of the on island stuff. I was also never one that expected a crap ton of answers and was mainly watching because I enjoyed the characters. Desmond is still one of my favorite TV show characters of all time.

Um...I lost my virginity with the woman who is now my wife...and it was very passionate and stuff...

I wish there was a way to make mine more exciting. Maybe if I added robots...

I'm in the same boat as you. Probably the most out of the ordinary thing we've ever done is she gave me a hand job as we in the middle of a two hour car ride. Part of my stuff wound up rubbing up against the seat belt gradually pealing off layers of flesh. Couldn't have sex for like a week. At least not comfortably.

Wow, did it just get awkward in here for anyone else?


Alternatively I've been on the other side of things. My first apartment was on the third floor and I quickly discovered it can get pretty hot up there and the AC sucked and didn't quite make it to the bedroom. At like ten o'clock the first night I decided to open the window to see if that would cool me off. It did and I fell asleep. At three in the morning I was awoken by the people below me being rather passionate. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper so they must have been really going at it. This proceeded to happen at three in the morning five nights in a row. On the sixth day I went out and bought a fan.

sure.

Well guest appearances is one way to keep people interested. The last season I watched in it's entirely was season 12. The next couple of years I would catch a few episodes. Then it was only the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Then I watched the first new episode after the movie came out. So I haven't watched an episode in just shy of four years. That said I'm tuning in this season for at least one episode. The reason: Neil Gaiman is guest appearing.

Yes, although I stopped using it the moment they started charging to stream to my phone.

Tag for later.

The guy who created the Brady Bunch television show died last week. The Brady Bunch Movie was inspired by it and, in my opinion, was not that great. Leagues better than the sequel, but still not that great.

Yes. I'll be damned if I remember what it is but I know I have one.

I actually liked seeing these event's through Jon's eyes. When we started going through that dialog my initial thought was "Am I really reading this again?" But I found myself really enjoying how the conversation turned out.

Then the end. My god. When Jon said "I will not hang him." I shouted at my book "No!" Then he asked for a block and unsheathed Longclaw and I was practically cheering. Totally awesome moment. Even if the R+L=J theory is correct this moment shows he is truly Ned's son. Jon Snow has always been one of my favorite characters and I'm thinking if his reign as Lord Commander keeps going the way it currently is he just might take the cake.
