  1. Oh god, those dumb slang names. I guess Slashers are fictional dinos made for the show (they're called Acceraptors apparently, I never heard that during the show though). Who knows on Howlers, my guess is something like a Pteranodon or Pteradactyl. Something that flies. They did call the Brachiosaurus by its regular name though. If they focus on the dad and Taylor mainly, the show will hold my attention more. I don't care about the kids (except Skye, I want to know what was up with her and Taylor). It'd also be nice if we couldn't tell the actors are standing in front of a green screen sometimes. Some of those backgrounds were cheesy.
  2. People like that still exist? I thought it was only ok. It has potential so I'll keep watching. They need to dial it back on those teenagers though.
  3. If the old man you saw is the villain from Avatar (Stephen Lang) then yeah. I'm about to watch it in a couple minutes before I go to bed, I heard it wasn't very good though.
  4. Oh, I was in the same boat, it was trying to be an Office rip-off. But The Office itself had a really bad first season (it itself did nothing but rip-off the BBC series the first season) so thats why I gave Parks & Rec one more shot when the second season premièred. Really glad I did because it improved 100 times from there.
  5. Another Parks & Rec fan, hooray! It's only my 4th or 5th favourite show but I thought it had, by far, the most consistent season last year. Every episode was absolutely top notch, laugh out loud funny. Rob Lowe playing the air banjo, the whole cast acting drunk, Nick Offerman getting half his face blown off in the finale. So many hilarious moments.
  6. Someone has to tell me how Person of Interest is. Thursdays is basically NBC night so I won't watch it unless it's really good. Granted, I download all my shows so I could probably find time for it somewhere anyway. But I am interested as well solely because of Michael Emerson. Actually all my interest in new shows can be traced because I only like one actor/creator involved. If it was based on the premise, I'd be watching a lot less new shows. The New Girl for example looks really boring. But I'll watch because I love Zooey. Same reason I put myself through the torture of The Cape because of Summer Glau. My main excitement for the TV season is the addition of John Goodman to Community. Gonna be awesome. Oh oh and it was announced Fox is going to do a Spectre adaptation. Hopefully it's not too campy because The Spectre is awesome. It's like if The Punisher had supernatural powers.
  7. Oh yeah! I forgot, I saw Kick-Ass on Saturday. Really, really, really good. The ending is completely different from what was in the comic (and in my opinion was better). The violence was still a little toned down but overall, Matthew Vaughn did a great job. Chloe Moretz was the best part of the movie. The action was very pulpesque, the movie has cult classic written all over it. I put it up there with Watchmen or Iron Man. I loved it.
  8. Well Clash of the Titans was a movie that was converted in post-production due to Avatar's success, it wasn't actually shot with 3D cameras. The 3D work was incredibly poor but I also find the whole thing to be a giant gimmick that I'd like to go away. That doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon though. Watched M.Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable again tonight after hearing Tarantino go on about it in his "Top 20 movies since '92" list. Theres a movie where I wouldn't have a problem with a sequel.
  9. 05-06 East had all the top seeds advance, West had all the top seeds eliminated.
  10. Well, they're saying at the latest it'll be Christmas 2010. Nintendo always loves to leave their delays to the last second though. I'm sure it'll get a hard release date at E3. I read another rumor that it's going to be a sequel to Majora's Mask which is really, really exciting. MM itself was a sequel to Ocarina of Time.
  11. Sin and Punishment 2 delayed three weeks. Metroid Other M delayed two months. F*ckers.
  12. Yeah, really. Campbell is a huge upgrade over Russell.
  13. So the Jets have traded Leon Washington to Seattle. I get not wanting to deal with his crap and I get drafting a RB to replace him. But why did we waste two of our picks on RBs? Signing over-the-hill Jason Taylor means we don't need a pass rusher at all? Oh wait, jetsblog says John "Follow my block if you want to live" Conner is a FB. Ok, that makes some more sense since Tony Richardson is about 89 years old. Still though, some youth on the d-line would've been nice. And now Everson Griffen and Ricky Sapp are gone. Still not liking the Jets draft. Also looks like Alan Faneca will definitely be released, supposedly on Monday. EDIT: Nevermind, Schefter is reporting Faneca has just been released now.
  14. 5-1 actually. It was a smart move, most Devils fans knew they were going to be eliminated pretty quickly once they found out they had to play Philly. I tried to go the cheap goalie route too with Brian Elliott but that didn't exactly work out. It's gone kind of under the radar but the Devils are playoff chokers.
  15. Jets take Vlad Ducasse in the 2nd round. Again, decent pick but not addressing our needs. We need a pass rusher and Everson Griffin was still there. Looks to be a bad sign for Faneca as theres rumors he could traded or cut. Although Griffin is still there so I'm hoping the Jets can trade up to get him. Lots of Gators are gone in the early rounds, a good draft for them. I was surprised Cunningham went before Dunlap. The Belichick/Meyer friendship was pretty evident with the Pats taking two Gators in the 2nd round, one of them being Brandon Spikes. Spikes is gonna be fearsome, sucks to see him in the division (ala Channing Crowder). Still interested to see who picks up Riley Cooper.
  16. Davis: Great pass blocker, so-so run blocker Iupati: Huge, nasty run blocker. Unlimited potential, should be able to play guard or tackle. Overall, both guys have loads of potential, should both be good picks. Wouldn't be surprised to see either in a Pro Bowl. No, I get the 1st round. A weeknight should still have more people in front of a TV compared to a weekend afternoon. I was flipping back and forth between commercials myself. If the 2nd/3rd round sees an improvement though, I might die a little inside.
  17. I love where Tebow ended up, he needed a good offensive minded guy. F*cking Dolphins stole Odrick the pick before the Jets, we end up with Kyle Wilson. Not that happy with the pick. I would've preferred Sergio Kindle or Carlos Dunlap, not a cornerback.
  18. Lynch apparently wants out and I don't see Jackson as a guy that can carry the load by himself. Maybe they have more pressing needs but Spiller is a good pick. His stock got really hot really fast over the last couple days.
  19. Yep, I hate it too. Even last year I didn't like how it started later in the afternoon, I prefer late morning/early afternoon. Perfect time to start a draft. Tonight not only are there actual shows to watch, theres also Game 5 in San Jose. Friday night is even lamer. I really hope there isn't anyone in the world that has the draft as an improvement on their usual Friday night plans. I won't be watching anything until Saturday. As for the draft itself, I really want the Jets to nab Odrick but it seems like he'll be gone before he gets to us. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tanny deal down for a couple 2nds if there isn't a good pass rusher available at 29. I'm curious as to how signing Jason Taylor (blech) is going to effect their draft strategy, we still need to get some youth on our D-Line. As a Gators fan as well, I'm really curious as to where Tebow will end up. I've heard many, many places are high on him but the most likely spot is apparently the Patriots.
  20. Yeah, they're really close but I can't help but give a slight edge to the MM LP. Nostalgia wise, I probably have more memories associated with The Eminem Show though. So really, it's tough to say. A lot of my favourite things generally tend to be based on nostalgia, lol.
  21. I just did a quick scan of the rulebook, seems like we can pick the same players.
  22. This is excellent news. I don't even care if he can get back to The Marshall Mathers LP but atleast something like The Eminem Show is all I ask.
  23. I couldn't stop laughing. It had to stop every 5 seconds to do a "creepy motherf*cker zoom in". That guys whole demeanor is hilarious but no way in hell would I want to run into him in a dark alley.
  24. Yeah, I've got Toews. But my biggest dissapointment is Duncan Keith. I pegged him as my "superstar" d-man over guys like Lidstrom and Chara. He's got nadda so far, only guy on my team with 0 points. Mike Richards on the other hand has been a pleasant surprise. Jimmy Howard got me 6 points alone last night, put me back ahead of blaze in 2nd. Joe is kinda running away with it though, lol
  25. No Jones either. He's been out since November but I count him now since he could possibly return in the next couple of games. Thats 3 guy from top 6 scoring roles we're missing. We're also missing Porter and Stoa from the bottom lines, been forced to play junk like Durno and Svatos.
