New Burger King Superman Returns toys cleverly promote excercise.
What I do mind is that, because innovation is failing them, they're taking steps to force me to watch their advertising. Lobbying DVR makers, chatting with the FCC, trying to ensure my eyes stay glued on their stuff. Heck, once they're sure they have my enforced attention, why innovate? We have to watch it anyway, right?
Innovative torture is still torture.

If you persist in your efforts...
I remember my dreams alot. But I can't come up with any concrete reason they should be studied, aside from plain old curiousity.

~er, drag king, even.
I saw a piece on her on last week's 20/20, and I was surprised her book was drawing so much attention - didn't this experiment get done to death in the 1990's?

10 Thumbs Way Up
I guess I'm on the outside as far as Crash goes. I really didn't like it-- thought it was way, way too hamfisted in making its point.

Yes. "Crash" is not a top ten movie. No way. It's like a 'grittier' version of "Grand Canyon" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101969/. Meh.

Don't miss the placenta!
This was educational for me. I didn't realize how uninformed I was of the birthing process.
Gad - I *so* don't want to do that. More power to those that do.

get an after-life.
This is good.
all-seeing eye dog: huh? Do you remember "a vague period before being born?
Actually, I sometimes think I do (but memory is such a tricky thing, those kinds of fleeting, subjective impressions aren't necessarily meaningful); my main point with this remark is that, even if you take a completely skeptical position, physical non-existence isn't really the novel condition (or non-condition) we often assume. From a completely deterministic, purely... [more]

Someone has to draw the line.
I saw frozen pancakes with M&Ms in them in the freezer section the other day.
Very unappealing. Would any parent buy this crap for their kids?

Good Night, and Good Luck
I'm interested in seeing the movie. I think it's very timely, and I trust in Clooney's intensive research. I have read numerous articles/interviews about the film and I am satisfied that it is a genuine project for Clooney (and I'm basically a cynical person).
I only wish it would change the so-called news reporting we experience today.

Making New Fake News
I really dislike the new design. It's way too pale, and bland. They should have left well-enough alone.
AVclub has always been my favorite part. I was surprised to read in the 'subtraction' article that it is often overlooked.

Being a Pretty Girl
"Pretty" is relative.
I've met ugly people - they are ugly due to asshole personalities - regardless of how they look on the outside. It may sound pollyanna, but it's very true.

Michaëlle Jean appointed Canadian governor-general.
This is good news.
I have no comment on her 'hotness', and I'm not going to be all cynical re: the effectiveness of the GG's position. I'm glad the position was filled by an intelligent and worldly person. I'm sure she'll do a great job.

An amputated foot in a bucket on the porch
I have an aquaintance who runs a vintage clothing and gift store. On one wall she has floor-to-ceiling shelving, displaying many various types of preserved-in-a-jar animals.
Meanwhile, in the middle row, second-from-left is her uterus.
I think I'd probably want to keep removed body parts...I dunno...*shivers*

fan death
I read an article about 'fan death' several years ago; However, I've never heard of the 'cut flowers in hospital rooms' theory.
I had a Russian friend a few years back who was convinced that Vodka - drunk or applied - was a cure-all. I have my doubts on that one.....*gag*
