Man, why don't we have something cool like a brand new Doctor Who episode on Christmas Day?!?! This looks so cool! It's got a space travelling ocean liner, cocktails, and assassin angels who use their halos as weapons (but really haven't they always?)!
The Dark Knight trailer is now online saving me a trip to iMax theater in Dallas today. Now I can stay in town to see I Am Legend.
I'm still on the fence in regards to Heath Ledger as the Joker.

This one from xkcd really spoke to me...
There is a vast conspiracy afoot in this country engineered against me by people communicating in languages I do not understand. Braille... American Sign Language... In fact any languages other than English, German, and Ubbi Dubbi were designed to get over on me.
They're out to get me, I say!

I awoke this morning to find that all the staff at STARTREK.COM were beamed into unemployed space yesterday. From the website:
Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team
Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately.We don't know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years.
If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com - we hope someone at CBS will read them.
Thank you for your loyal fandom over the years. It has been a pleasure to serve you.
I find this awfully surprising. With Star Trek: The Experience, the new Trek movie coming out and the Star Trek MMORPG bound to launch sometime, 2008 looks to be a banner year for the franchise. The website has always seemed well-managed - particularly for a site owned by a corporate entity as vast and unweildy as CBS. The site runners truly understood its audience delivering the goods on a regular basis with skill and panache.
There is speculation online that the decision was a bean-counting effort relating to the fact that Trek doesn't currently have a show on the air. If so, it's an awfully short-sighted decision.
I hope they don't let the site grow stale.
It always sucks to lose your job (just ask this guy), but particularly so at this time of year.
To the suddenly at loose-ends production team, you have my thanks for providing me with so much enjoyment. You're a talented group of people. I am confident that great things are ahead for each of you.

I was chatting with that guy Gary from IT today...
ARON: ...By the way, I got a comment on the blog from that guy who
included my blog under an "anti-gay" header on his blog. Turns out that
I'm not a hater. Rather, he listed me there as someone ridiculing the
haters.
GARY: That's good...I know that you, the card-carrying liberal that you
are, would be mortified to find that you offended "teh gays".
ARON: It's one thing to offend, it's a whole 'nother thing to be
singled out as anti-gay. I think you know me well enough to understand
that I hate ALL people irrespective of race, color, creed, sex, or
gender preference. I won't be put in a box! I reserve the right to
view humanity in its entirety with equal parts disdain and disgust.
GARY: And that, my friend, is what I love about you most...
ARON: LOve?!? Dude, I'm not looking for anything serious. 'Just lookin' to
have a good time.

ARON: So... World War Hulk Aftersmash? You read this dog, yet?
PAUL: I have not! I'm not even sure I want to.
ARON: Smart fella.
PAUL: That bad?
ARON: You know, it's not awful... it just seemed tacked on, serving no real point.
PAUL: Kinda like World War Hulk in general?
ARON: Yeah.
PAUL: I'm beginning to think Marvel events are only important because they TELL US they're important.
ARON: Well, didja see that I'm a hater?
PAUL: I noticed. Damned homophobe.
ARON: I suppose it all goes back several years ago... when gay ninjas killed my father.
PAUL: I'm kind of surprised they were able to sneak up on him with their pink costumes.
ARON: Pink ninja attire is a stereotype, Paul, and you should know better. Everyone knows that gay ninjas wear belly-shirts.
PAUL: I know, I know. >hanging head in shame< Still... not very stealthy.
ARON: Man, those six pack abs! Who wouldn't show those off? And really, why waste that stuff on chicks?

Last week's entry concerning my suggestion for WORLD'S GAYEST COMIC MAGAZINE got this blog listed under an ANTI-GAY label over at Comic Gays. On the site, Comic Gays lists "Links regarding gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender topics in comic books, science fiction and fantasy."
I take issue with how this blog has been listed.
Clearly the blogger at Comic Gays failed to actually read the article I posted, just assuming that WORLD'S GAYEST COMIC MAGAZINE had a negative implication. Either that or the blogger is absent some basic reading comprehension skills.
Card carrying liberal that I am, I have to say this really cheeses me.

Though the game has been out for over a year-and-a-half, I just picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance this weekend. I don't play a lot of console games, but every now and again...
I'm currently on the low end of the learning curve in this game, but even so... how is it Thor can be killed by a punk like Bullseye?!? Sure, Bullseye is a harsh baddy for the likes of Daredevil and Spider-Man, but Thor?!
He's the freakin' Norse God of Thunder, bitch!
Odin's boychild should be able to just stand there under whatever Bullseye dishes out without enduring a scratch. But not in Ultimate Alliance. No, no... Under my able leadership, I managed to Mjolnir's master killed in nothing flat.
"Is that Midgard Serpent?!" I demanded. "Is this Ragnarok!?!? Get off your ass!"
Then I lost Captain America, too.
Let me tell you, after having buried Captain America earlier this year, it was particularly harsh to lose him in-game as well. That really stung.
I cried at the console.
Spider-Man and Wolverine finally took Bullseye out.
The game's a bit hard on heroes, but I sure do like it.
