I knew him. He was a mellow guy but was put on Prozac right before he did it as he found out his wife was fucking two other guys. Fingercuffs.

Oh noes! Prozac! SSRIs actually reduce suicide risk in adults.

Estranged wife.

Why would I commit seppuku? I didn't think it'd do that well, but I certainly don't care. I know people that worked on it, good for them. I wouldn't actively root for it to fail.

Besides, I think Maurice has become an Avatard after seeing it.

At least Titanic had a sort of class, the fact that Avatar is well on its way to becoming number one in the world-wide box office is fucking sad. We have a whole generation of furries ready to come out when they grow up now.

There was a Johnny Quest episode where they were hunting down this cult leader with this 'bible' with the words of God he always clutched onto. Any way at the end of the episode you see that it was really his family photo album that the CIA let die. Quite poignant for a children's cartoon. That would've been a better ending.

So apparently Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins is REALLY good at guitar.

I had no idea. I always thought he was like a slightly more skilled version of Kurt Cobain. But check out this video. It's mindless shredding for sure, but it shows that a huge degree of technical skill is there.

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

I wonder what other guitarists are actually way better than their albums would indicate.

You know it's a Bible from early on, but the twist is that he's blind and the Bible is in braille. So then you're supposed to be like "OMG, HE WAS BLIND THE WHOLE TIME, NOW I GET WHY HE "SMELLED" THE BAD GUYS COMING THAT ONE TIME IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!! Nevermind the fact that he has perfect aim with a bow & arrow (kills a cat and a bird from hundreds of feet of away in one shot) a shotgun, a pistol, and a knife. He never stumbles or has to feel his way around in strange places, he always goes straight to where he needs to be, reaches right from the door handle or door bell when he goes to open a door, basically does everything a sighted person does, and we're supposed to buy it because of his super-human sense of smell and hearing and/or protection from God.

I don't get how can you be surprised or blown-away by a twist ending when there's a literal Deus Ex Machina? The twist could have just as easily have been he was a cyborg from the future that's why he couldn't die and had crazy reflexes, and that the Bible was on a USB flash drive.

I've heard Billy Joe from Green Day is actually quite good, never heard anything to substantiate that though

Magical Negro/Superpowered Blind Person saves the day with Jesus power after apparently the Bible was "targeted" to be destroyed during a world war involving nuclear weapons and so now there's only one Bible left on Earth just 30 years from now, yes, just one of the most printed literature in human history will be gone and the only copy left will be some braille version in north america.

The truth is, with the Japanese theatrical release schedule being what it is, there are movies which have been out on DVD for a year in the USA which still haven't launched here in theaters. On the upside, I have a chance to see Coraline in 3D starting next month.  :-\

Meh, people had expectations because 'one of them' was involved in the process.

I was going to 'unreasonable' in front of expectations but from the reviews it seems the movie doesn't even make it that far like you say.

Not what I heard. Gary sent me this e-mail to inquire about any potential stalkers after he received this PM.

Quote from: Joe Molotov® EDGE™
Dear Gary, (oh shit there’s stickers)

I feel like I can call you Gary because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you someday, it would be great to play catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed with my speed. I love your hair. You run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about, and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. And I hope you write back this time and we get to be good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real home run.
