Kickass new new trailer out. It's got Ninja-Sulu!

The actor playing Sabretooth doesn't really look the part does he?

I thought that when he was first named, and when the first behind-the-scenes pics leaked out. He looked a bit pudgy walking around in a vest. But the more I see him in trailers, the more I like him. I know it's obviously wire-work, but I like the beast-man bouncing around on all fours thing, and he's definitely better than Tyler Mane.

Another top episode this week. Although there's one big apparently intentional tease....  [spoiler]The very brief moment where we get to see the mysterious statue, which I'm guessing is that four-toed statue on the coast, before the final flash. Now that there are no more flashes, I'm guessing we won't be getting a straight answer on that one any time soon.

Also, where has Sayid disappeared off to? Jack and co. don't seem too worried about him at the happy reunion, and he didn't seem to end up with Locke and Ben.[/spoiler]

I just came across this site; Classic PC games for $9.99 or less. As far as I can tell it works like Steam, you order the game and it's instant download. They've all been adapted to work with windows XP or Vista too. They've got great old ones like Duke Nukem, Rise of the Triad, and they keep adding to it, so they say. I'm tempted to pick up MDK 1 and 2. For less than a tenner it seems foolish not to....

Another new trailer out:

Even more surprise appearances in this one. [spoiler]Cyclops? What the hell?[/spoiler] I'm becoming increasingly hopeful for this.

Depp! Bale! Mann! Tommy guns!

Oh, that Jean-Luc Picard:

And I don't know what you want to call this:

Also, was I just being dirty minded, or did I actually hear the word "wank" used in an episode of Battlestar Galactica? (When Starbuck is muttering her daily speech to herself at the beginning)

It is impressive, but I'd say BSG beat it in the ramming stakes in "Exodus Part II" . Although they weren't starships technically, so I suppose Nemesis still wins....

Wait, What? Whats your definition of 'Starship'?

 I was just being overly geeky. Starships, battlestars, basestars, it's all good....

I finally finished it. Fantastic stuff. I can see the points made earlier, that some of the character endings were a little too happy, and I found the whole serial killer storyline tough to swallow at first, but they made it work, mainly by acknowledging the consequences. Also, [spoiler]the moment where Omar jumps out the window and disappears is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on TV. That "Oh shit" look on Chris's face afterwards. Brilliant.[/spoiler]

I was sold on the first one, I'm twice as sold now. The motor-terminators are just awesome. Even if the trailer's shown a bit more of the plot than I'd like, but it looks like an interesting one. Skynet using sleeper agents? Kickass....

Also, what's the name of the NIN song?

I will say 'STNG:Nemesis' has the best star-ship ramming action out there (ooo-er) but beyond that...no comment.

-Bouwel-

I've read through the first four pages of these things. Some of them are quite funny, but they're fake. That is, they're not posted by different people. Look at the evidence: consistent spelling, consistent punctuation, consistent presentation and reasonably consistent length... Every single one of them begins with "Today," and ends with "FML". Surely if these entries were genuinely posted by different people at least one of them would begin with "Once," (and there'd be at least one with "To-day" or even "Toady")?

So either someone with a greater-than average literacy is editing the users' entries, or it's just one person writing them all.

While I don't doubt that there are some fakes in there, I decided out of curiosity to see what the submission page looks like. There's a big reminder at the top that every submission starts with "today" and ends with "FML", and once they're submitted, they have to be judged worthy, so I'd say someone is at least making sure they fit the guidelines before they show up on the main page.

Also: "Today, I fell out of the shower. It was still on. Bracing my fall, I reached into the toilet. It wasn't flushed. FML" Classic.....

Having a bad day? Then check out "F*** My Life" where you can either share it with the world or maybe feel a bit better by comparison, even if many of the stories are probably fake. Schadenfreude is a wonderful thing....

"Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired. FML"

"Today, I was tutoring kids at an elementary school. One kid messed up my hair. I said, "Why'd you do that??" He said, "I have lice, now you have lice too!" FML"

Enterprise was pretty bloody good IMO and Voyager was best of the lot),

Wait....what?
