Stupid Gods and Generals being four hours long. Way to make me not want to go see it.*
Also, a word on Metroid Fusion: Remember when it was tough to finish a Metroid game under five hours?
Hey, you can finish Metroid Fusion in the time it takes to watch Gods and Generals! Amazing!

Quick thoughts on We're a Happy Family, the new Ramones tribute album:
- Bono is so cool.
- Kiss' Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio: awesome overload.
- Rob Zombie's Blitzkrieg Bop is hilarious.
And tonight's art 22 highlight quote:
"Take for example, this metaphor from Romeo and Juliet, 'Juliet shines like the sun.' Shakespeare is making these comparisons between Juliet and this planet, the sun."
So you probably noticed the two huge, obvious problems with that:
- That's technically a simile.
- The sun is not nearly large enough to qualify as a planet!!!!

Let me clarify something about the violent relationship thing. I'm not suggesting that two people get together and instantly turn out to be a poor match, I'm saying that they know what they're getting into. Wouldn't that be interesting (in a certain light)?
The TV happened to be on while I was making dinner, exposing me to the brand new bottom of society's intellectual bucket, better known as Are You Hot? From the brief glimpses I caught, I've decided that I am not only ashamed, but infuriated, to:
- live in Southern California
- be an American
- own a television
- ASJDKLWEOPAJVKLDJVAWKOEPVJ @RI J#
Seriously, if North Korea decides Hollywood (c/o the West Coast) has got to go, then just bring it. They totally deserve it. I don't remember ever being mad at a television show. Except maybe Ghostbusters Extreme.
On a more lighthearted note, do you ever accidentally click the wrong link or button on a Website, or hit return or whatever, and frantically try to hit stop but you're TOO LATE and the page already started loading but since you still hit stop you get some blank window or the page in that weird not-quite-loaded state and you have to go back and try again?
I hate that.

Bringing it back to soil

I was asked whether or not Flash should be allowed on a Website devoted to the superhero, the Flash. The answer to that is: sure.
So I now have about eight days to finish reading Gods and Generals. Also, I like how the movie version already has almost a hundred votes for it on the IMDb.
Speaking of movies, I was going to do a top five list of movies that whose titles I suspect were developed before the actual script of the movie, the only example which I can remember at the moment being Deliver Us from Eva. I was also thinking of a list of movies where the titles obviously came second, such as Cradle 2 the Grave. And, while I'm touching on that, since when does DMX get higher billing than Jet Li?
I was on the bus a few days ago and saw an ad proclaiming, "In a violent relationship, your partner isn't the only one who's scarred for life." My first thought was, if there's that much violence involved, can you really call it a relationship anymore? Then that got me thinking, what if two people have a special kind of relationship where they just constantly antagonize each other from the beginning? Like, when one of them gets home they would be greeted by their spouse with a flying kick, and then they would immediately enter into a dramatic fight scene, traveling from room to room and punching holes in the walls and furniture. Then at dinner, they could fling dishes across the table mercilessly.
I feel like I've only just scratched the surface.

Initial thoughts on The King of Fighters 2001:
- Annoyingly, the music isn't that bad when it's during the game. As a standalone soundtrack it's terrible, but during the game it's not bad at all. (I probably just destroyed my musical credibility.)
- Eolith made some weird little changes to Vanessa and Iori's hair. They only changed it for their standing animations (and Vanessa's intro), though, so when you start walking their hair changes color slightly and it looks weird. How lazy of them.
- K9999 does not appear to be a good character.
- Kyo sounds weird.
