DISQUS

Ha ha. Very funny. His dad is the "King" of horror. I've got his stuff memorized...

Last book I read was "20th Century Ghosts" by Joe Hill - a collection of horror short stories. They were awesome. He is a horror author, but also writes a comic called "Locke & Key" with artist Gabriel Rodriguez, that I have yet to read. But it's on my list, along with his first novel "Heart-Shaped Box".

Aww...Raven. I just now am getting caught up on my blog reading and came across this article. Sorry I wasn't here to support ya! You know I totally agree with your assessment of his movies. "Sixth Sense" is my least favorite one too - and that is coming from a professed horror/thriller/ghost fanatic!!! I don't understand the hatred and disappointment people have had towards his films. Maybe our modern world is too cynical and jaded to appreciate a good fairy tale anymore... Oh well... guess we'll have to take our M. Night Shyamalan love-fest elsewhere. ;)

Uh... if you're a Netflix user and you want to watch a movie RIGHT NOW you can just log in to Netflix's site and stream it. You don't even have to change out of your pajamas and bunny slippers to drive to the store.

Btw - It gave me a good laugh to read this dicussion and see all of us media junkies bickering about how fast we can get our entertainment into our eyeballs. Just think about it for a minute... pretty funny, huh? Next thing you know, Netflix will just be mind-melding with it's customers and sending you movies in your sleep. ha ha

Uh... if you are a Netflix user and you want to see a movie RIGHT NOW that hasn't been shipped to you - you go online to Netflix's site and stream it. You don't even have to change out of your bunny slippers to go get in the car and drive to the store.

Btw - I got a good chuckle from this discussion and how impatient all us media junkies are - that we are actually bickering over how fast we can get our entertainment into our eyeballs. Just stop and think about that for a minute. Pretty funny, huh?

This was the 1st series of this comic, so maybe that's why Amazon has it listed as Volume 1?

Yep. Gerard went to art school, graduated, worked for Nickelodeon for a year, then started the band. I absolutely LOVE the comics! As you said, the story and the superheroes are unlike any I've ever encountered.

Hey Mike - for all things comics, try Things from Another World (http://www.tfaw.com/) You can pre-order the graphic novel. It comes out July 2nd.

By the way... the Black Parade tour was AWESOME!

Wow...how sad. :( It doesn't matter how famous he was (or wasn't), or that he wasn't one of the major leads in the films, no one should be taken from life this young. So sad. :(

I think I prefer the poster with the rows of abandoned cars over this one.

Bees, huh? Well, I'd better lock myself in my house if that's the case. I just had a swarm of bees removed (i.e. exterminated) from my tree a couple weeks ago. Does that make me a target?

Wow! This is so weird. I wonder how the change of network will affect the writers and the cast, especially if some of the supporting actors have to be cut - it might change the mojo of the show. I guess, as a fan, I'm happy to hear we're getting more shows...

I agree with Nicky - I almost want to start rooting for my favorites to lose, so they can get their own contract and not be controlled and manipulated by the machine that is American Idol. Like, maybe come in 3rd or 4th, to get all the good exposure, then bow out to go do their thing without being restricted creatively.

Funny! I've always disliked musicals and one of my main reasons is because it always seems so bizarre for people to suddenly break into song - like that would happen in real life. Well, the people in the mall that day now know how bizarre that feels! Hilarious!

Thanks for the heads-up on this Mike. Although - I thought ABC said they wouldn't be airing any re-runs in the gap between the first 8 shows and the last 5? Hmmm. Either way, these pop-up enhanced shows are fun to watch, even if I don't learn anything new, sometimes the "facts" are snarky or funny.

D.L. White's last blog post..Let's get LOST! (Episode 8 - Meet Kevin Johnson)

The big cliffhanger for me will be the wait to see if Rousseau is dead or not. I've grown to like her over the progression of the show, so I hope she lives. I think she deserves a better death scene than that - she needs to go out fighting! Also - Ben is so cold and calculating enough, that I think it was a setup - him sending them to the Temple. I think he instructed the Others to fire on Alex's crazy mommy and her annoying boyfriend, if they ever saw them again. So, Ben got what he wanted - they are out of the picture and his adopted daughter is safe with his people and is somewhat under his control again. Possessive jerk!

This is ridiculous. We don't use PPV hardly ever, so that won't really effect us, but for TV shows and regular aired movies/programs it will. What if you go on vacation for a week and want to watch all the shows you missed when you got back? Or, like the hubby and I, we are busy during the week so we save up alot of stuff on DVR to watch on the weekend when we have time. I guess they'd rather not have us watch it at all, then watch it on delay?!?! Surely there's a better solution to the production companies' "concerns" about ownership, usage and advertising in regards to their shows?!?!

D.L. White's last blog post..Let's get LOST! (Episode 7 - Ji Yeon)

Last night's show was a rollercoaster ride! I think the Desmond-centric episodes are the best. Desmond and Penny's plot line rises above the rest. (Hey, that rhymes!) I can't remember the last time TV was this good! Awesome writing, five-star acting. Wow.

So...we learned why no one was allowed to talk to Minkowski - 'cause dude was in the process of losing his mind! And it was cool that we learned alot more about Daniel Faraday, the physicist. It makes sense that he's sympathetic to the losties, and Desmond in particular, if he has been dealing with the side-effects of time jumping too. It explains all his weird nervous-nelly type behavior over the last several episodes.

D.L. White's last blog post..Let's get LOST! (Episode 5 - The Constant)

I can't believe I'm still watching A.I. I'm still waiting for someone to impress me. For the most part, I yawn thru the whole show. I'm just not interested in anyone. The only person who sparked my interest got cut during Hollywood week. (A moment of silence, please, for Josiah Lemming.) The performers this year are just more of the same.

It's so hard to pick a favorite Jim/Dwight prank - they are all so funny. And the JD/Turk duet "Guy Love" makes me laugh until I cry every time I watch it.

In some ways, the strike was kind of nice. I didn't feel like I was chained to the TV and I spent more time reading. Although, don't get me wrong, I certainly am glad it's over. And I'm back to being a most willing prisoner to the TV schedule now that LOST is back. :)
