"Walsh turned over eight videotapes of opposing offensive and defensive signals that the Pats filmed from 2000-02. The league has had a chance to view those materials, and Goodell will question Walsh this morning at 7:30, at the NFL’s Manhattan offices." - RAPatton
"Writer J. Michael Straczynski's classic tale of loss and redemption is collected in its entirety with all 12 issues, Midnight Nation #1/2, and a cover gallery. Also includes a touching and insightful afterword from Straczynski." - RAPatton
"J. Michael Straczynski's Midnight Nation is a terrific and hard to put down graphic novel. If you are looking for supermodels in spandex or cat suits (Not that there's anything wrong with that!), then this is not your book. The story is original and compelling and has sufficient pacing to keep you turning the pages and staying up way past your bedtime. Occasionally, I found the story to be downright thought provoking" - RAPatton
"I heard that it is a pale imitation of the Teletubbies; Georgina the Giraffe is a La La rip off. Snowbert the Polar Bear is a Tinky Winky clone. Don't even get me started on Molly the Hippopotamus, whose lyrics are bottomless. She thinks she is the most beautiful girl in the whole wide room." - RAPatton
"We hate to be the buzz-kill here, but pickups this weekend in Times Square about 7 weeks from the release date spell BAD NEWS." --- Yeah, but maybe they can fix it. I hope so. - RAPatton
""I love writing," he said. "I write ten hours a day, every day." He encouraged those in the audience with a passion for creativity to pursue their dreams. "You've got to do it for one reason: to not do it is suicide."" - RAPatton
but sometimes doing it leads to suicide as well... - edythe
Not for him it doesn't, but he is not a poet. I like a lot of his work. You might like something called "Midnight Nation" that he wrote. It starts out talking about the people who have fallen through the cracks of society and claims that eventually they do become invisible and live in a parallel world right by ours. That idea is interesting, but the story really gets its legs as journey tale. Artistically it has a great image in that I love: the archangel Michael is present guarding Lazarus, because Lazarus must stay alive until the end of times. He was the first person to fall through the cracks. Michael keeps any harm from befalling him. The way they illustrate Michael is that you never see his head, just his body and flaming sword, it is quite powerful because by making him faceless you make him more elemental. They tale is steeped in Jewish Mysticism (although not like Promethea is) and I liked it. - RAPatton
"“I have been surprised, excited and pleasantly shocked by these comics that are extensions of the songs that I have loved and therefore welcome these amazing stories of pictures and words because they are uncompromisingly inspiring,” Amos said" - RAPatton
I pre-ordered it; may get a copy for Robin O'D - RAPatton
like the colors of the one on the far left - edythe
I do too, but each story will be different. I think the far left is the cover and it reminds me of a modern yellow submarine. - RAPatton
yep; I always look there, but they cannot keep pace with digicams; the sony is released today and the other 2 have been released in the last month. - RAPatton
IT wasn't terrible, but the first hour was boring. The script was good, but the visual style detracted. The cars were supposed to be going 400-500 mph which is too fast to know what is happening. You see things happen, but your mind isn't sure why besides one person is bad and the other is good etc... Last 90 is good. They should have started the film with Speed turning down the deal. That would have worked, but then they would have still had to explain Racer X. Also, most of Sparky should have been axed. - RAPatton
it sounds about an hour too long. jarad at work has seen iron man three times already. - edythe
iron man was good, but not three times good; if he goes again, maybe you can see if you can join him. - RAPatton
""If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 refund, or you received a rapid refund, you will be receiving a check instead of a direct deposit."" ---- Huh? - RAPatton
yeah, I don't know. i don';t think i am getting one of these. - edythe
""It's somewhat Russian roulette. There are so many factors, emotional, psychological, biological. You can't predict the experimentation and how it will impact a kid."" - RAPatton
yeah. which is why you have to let be what will be. - edythe
"Pollack, who has written 12 books on the tarot, teamed with Buffy artist Paul Lee on the fully-painted 78 card deck, which draws upon characters, themes, and legends from all eight seasons of Joss Whedon's work." - RAPatton
They can tell the future and slay vampires - RAPatton
they use multibuilding in the south too; attatched garages are the bane of modern domicile architecture; "would you like a house with that garage?" - RAPatton
