I finally got Photon to correctly upload my pictures, only to discover that
(a) it wants to do a separate post per picture, and
(b) the default MT stylesheet wants to clip my pictures horizontally, and I'm too stupid about stylesheets to get it to work right at the moment.
So pictures may return later when I feel like fighting with MT some more. So this is the one thing Radio does better out of the box so far. Wheee.
You aren't a cop show. You aren't The West Wing. You aren't a Tarantino movie. You're a show with great space battles, interesting characters, and enough politics & religion to keep things spicy. So stop phoning in season 2.5 already, dammit.
Also, there's a particular thing role that gets filled and then... unfilled on an ep-by-ep basis. Can we cut that shit out already? You're jumping the shark!
Also also, if the damn space pilots wear vac suits... wouldn't the engineers, especially if you're at battle stations? I mean <GOB>COME ON!</GOB>*
* Also, watch Arrested Development already. It's cancelled for real now, so it'll be easy to catch up.
"A new and much, much improved trailer for 'A Scanner Darkly' has been posted on Warner Independent's site. I'm so excited about this movie now that I've gotten a better feel for its visual look. Wow. Thanks to Georgia Tech classmate and 'Dazed and Confused' star Wiley Wiggins for the tip."
I, also, can't get over how awesome this trailer looks. Except that Keanu Reeve's face jars me out of the dreamworld every time I see it. Still -- let's hear it for the possibility of a good PKD movie!
I picked this up on the cheap a few days back. It's interesting that Bioware/Obsidian are clearly better stewards for the Star Wars universe than George Lucas is. In their hands, it's a rich & interesting place with a lot of history. Lucas, on the other hand, treats it like the flat facades of a "town" in a Western. I know he wanted to get that Republic serial feel, but I mean, seriously. What up, dude?
So, yeah, I'm liking what I'm seeing a lot. It's also reminding me of how much I preferred the KOTOR combat system to the quasi-fighting game style of Jade Empire. I haven't much urge to go back to JE just because I always felt like I had a 50/50 chance of having to go back to a save game every time I got into a fight, and yet they didn't autosave for me before the fights. Bleah. It's too bad, because the story seemed pretty interesting.
