I hope somewhere right now, a bunch of nerds are pinning a young Mitt Romney to the ground and quoting Firefly at him.

Who knew there was no market for giving away commentaries without the movies!?

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
I know! But I've tried other things that didn't pan out, like the White House website.
And keep in mind that the biggest Web successes had tens of millions of users before they figured out how to monetize them.

Or they capitalized on previously known works. Though, the whole Angry Birds craze is getting out of hand

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
I don't get the Angry Birds thing either. I mean, I get that it's a fun game, but they've built a fucking theme park in europe based on it. There's a giant-ass Angry Birds standee at my Best-Buy for no discernable reason. It's just there. They're not selling the game. The game is a fucking dollar to buy, or free if you get certain phones. Zynga tried to buy the company out for something like 2 Billion dollars. For fucking angry birds! What the hell?!
I had angry birds on my trs80 back in the day, minus the physics and instead of birds and pigs it was two monkeys throwing bananas at each other. That game and variations of it has been around for three decades. I'm wondering what other early 80's puzzle games one could rip off and apply physics to.

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
I ha all those other things, like Star Wars was there but it was never...OHMYGOD Fucking Star Wars. And I had Ghostbusters and back to the future. But growing up they were mostly just the movies that my dad really liked and wanted to pass on, and I liked them but they never impacted me the way they did with a lot of other people.
TBH, the 2 things that impacted me the most growing up were The Muppets and Harry Potter.

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
I honestly can't even remember the first time I watched most of this stuff. It's just always been there. Although weirdly enough, I never actually saw any of the live action non-muppet movies (meaning Labyrinth and Dark Crystal). I finally saw labyrinth I think last year, and I still haven't seen dark crystal.
I don't know if anyone outside canada would know this show, but when i was really little, like toddler age. I watched a lot of Sesame Street, and Mr. Dressup, which was little CBC production with puppets and this one older genteman, named Mr. Dressup. ANd it was you know, your typical kids fare, but it was funny because the actor (Ernie Coombs) looks EXACTLY like my grandfather. needless to say that led to some very interesting confusion in my early years. lol.
Man I haven't thought about this stuff in years. wow.

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
I used to watch Mr. Dressup, as well as the Buffalo produced weekday morning Rocketship 7 (talk to any famous Canadian from Ontario over 40, and they'll mention the show most likely). Hmm, looking at Wiki, it seems my childhood mind was confused about something 
I have a memory of Commander Tom taking over from the REAL Commander Dave on Rocketship 7, and being very jarred by it. However, according to Wiki, Rocketship 7 went off the air in 1978 leaving just the afternoon Commander Tom. What I saw most likely was a reassuring sendoff so kids would know what was going on, and that Commander Tom would still be there afternoons. You know, back when local stations still had personality and cared.

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
Right now on ITV1 in the UK, is Soccer Aid, a charity football match (for UNICEF) of two teams of celebs and professional players. Here are some of the people playing in the match-
Gerard Butler, Will Ferrell, Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson, James McAvoy, Gordon Ramsay, Michael Sheen and Mike Myers. Seriously.
I hate football/soccer but I may just watch it....

Re: General Talk/Stuff That won't Go Anywhere Else
So, Zombies are apparently real and are rising, what with the dude biting that other dude's face and another using his intestines as a cop deterrent. It is times like these that I am reminded of that R.E.M. song whose title is starting to ring true.
I am of course, talking about All The Way To Reno (You're Gonna Be A Star).
