Mr. Hakujin

Panch: pics or it didn't happen. Yeah, no worries about that Nick. I figured as much since they usually announce that type of thing. Depending on how this Quinn thing works out. . . However, Dex has been a truly great character study and I'd hate to see the great stuff of the past seasons ruined by another "serial killer of the week" type season or two.

Ah, I miss this thread. Just now seeing DoJ's epic WC post of epicness. Nicely done. Here's a throw away cuz the naughty bits are covered, but she's still supa dupa cute.

no comment on soccer. i just came in to post that nick should bring back the old banner for the sports forum. this new one is teh ghey.

i haven't had cable TV in my home in...huh, around five years. i just DL or watch a show at a friend's place occasionally. the only show i had to see immediately and couldn't wait to DL was LOST. i used to hit the History Channel regularly though in college. i think the last thing i saw from them was a special i DL'd called "life after man" or something like that. apparently there's a series or was a series based on it as well. damn, wait. i think that was Discovery Channel.... but i did buy WWII in HD, which definitely is a History Channel docu-mini. that series is intense, BTW. I watched the first two hours and had to walk away for a bit. something much more disturbing seeing the nazis, real nazis, kill people in HD color.

Hah, if only, Panch. If I was quicker on my feet I could've made up a possible lie like we were visiting people in the complex, but hindsight is 20/20.

I DL'd two versions of Paprika last night. I'll watch it today or tomorrow and post in the thread Ly started. Jesus H. Christ, DoJ! Don't come back in here until you've seem the fookin' film already. It's worth watching in the theaters, trust us!

That was my next move, Panch, but some guy chased us away before I could get up there. :( Here's one I snuck of Dex's actual apt though.

And then there's also this...

Ahh! It's the chimp and baby doll from Toy Story 3. Those two are sure to give a generation of children nightmares for a long time to come. That entire post is pretty much an epic accont of toy fail. Well done on photographing Jax's toy closet, Nick.

Co-signed w/ fighter pilot T-Rex's sentiments. Re. the trailer: oh.mah.gah.

I refuse to read until you grow back facial hair, DoJ. All pretentious foreigners (and most Americans) have some form of facial hair.

Yep, Nujabes is definitely right behind lady gaga up there with my favorite all-time artists. Glad you finally gave his work a try, DoJ.

Mark Ruffalo as the new Bruce Banner? Hmm...interesting. I still think they missed the boat with Norton. he may be a monster on set, but he delivers electrifying performances. Ruffalo is rather meh, neutral, in his performances. Also, he's kinda wimpy. But that goes much more w/ Ultimate Bruce Banner, which is more the tone I believe this Avengers film is headed for..so maybe Ruffalo will work out for the better if that is the case.

You know what? I'm gonna reserve judgment on the level of asinineness of that statement until I watch Paprika. ;)

Oh.Mah.Gah! You read that before you saw the film?!?!!!? Why, dude? Whyyyy!! But, I was thinking that about the film as well regarding

Carl looks a bit older than I thought he was in the book. Minor complaint. His mom looks a bit meh as well. Andrea is hawt though. I'm still 100% psyched to see this in October.

Oh God yes! You get a definite FHD for exposing me to this, genroh. This is much more up my alley than the thrash/death/whateverotheradjectivesoundscool metal ASC and "Limerick" Shane are trying to get me into.

Agreed! Did you see it w/ DOJ? ASC and I saw it Sunday night w/ "Limerick Shane." We'll have to discuss this film in person on Wednesday before I fly out...and possibly see it again b/c this is one film I'm definitely gonna need to see more than once. So let's get into spoiler territory and talk ending, people:

i'm making a mel gibson thread where you can feel at home w/ these kinds of posts, nick.

Let us know how you dig the digi-subscription, Logan! I checked out the Marvel site and it appears you pay a monthly or yearly fee and get access to a large number of comics, but they're basically "streaming" and you can't DL them to your HD and must obviously have a Net connection. Seems like a decent business model to prevent pirating. However, I still think they'd make more money by selling an actual downloadable digital comic. Of course it means putting stuff out there for pirating, but the scanners do that already. The comic industry should learn from the mistakes of the music industry and hopefully not repeat them. Seems to me comic publishers are cutting their profits off at the legs by not selling actual downloadable comics a person can keep and re-read. I definitely hope devices like the iPad help make digital subscriptions more indie publisher friendly. I was talking w/ Panch about this when Jax was in town. Panch's reasoning is even if an indie book is $1 or $2 more than a mainstream book, that's still $6 for one book rather than two. If you're way into monthlies like Panch is and are on a budget (who isn't) then it's hard to take a chance on a new indie book. Hopefully the digital comics will become downloadable and all even out at around the same cost (like digital music did at roughly $1 per song). Since there are no high printing costs this should, in theory, work to the advantage of the indie publishers... And I know he loves his monthlies and TPBs, but I wonder if Jay will ever get this for his precious netbook?

I hope this guy patents it and makes a mint. I know I want one for my desk!
