Dreamworks has aquired the Casshan live action movie. I send out a 'Ner' to everyone who said it wasn't coming.

No Battle Royale yet, though, because They hate us.

[EDIT] Heh, heh, heh - I have Adelphia running around like mad, dancing to my whim. I recieved an ad for "Adelphia High-Speed Internet! ORDER TODAY!" yesterday. At my house, where I can't get cable!!!! I called up the number and asked them to not send me ads to my residence for services they don't provide to my residence. The Helpful Guy instead offered to try to find out what they can do to make my address serviceable. Oh - just spend about $30,000 to run the line to my house? If I harass them enough, they might just do it. I plan on calling and making them jump through my hoops every time they send me an ad until they actually give me service.

Although I don't think I'll go back to cable TV. The DirecTivo is waaaaay too nice. Broadband, now...that's a different story.

Debunked, eh? The logistics involved are impossible, eh? Clearly. "There are lots of dots we have to connect," indeed.

And yes, this post is an attack.

Most politically incorrect Halloween costumes EVAR! But oh, so funny. I can't decide which I like best.

Dude, I just realized that I might actually get Trick or Treaters this year. Seeing how it's not suicide to attempt to approach my house by anything other than car, even if it is a bit of a walk.

I'd better stop by the grocery store on my way home.

Dear Tokyopop, Paul Morrisey, and Jamie S. Rich -

I hate you all. While I don't speak or read Japanese, and while I don't have the original Japanese edition of Gravitation 8, I'm pretty damn sure that a book published in 1998 didn't have a reference to "Punk'd". Pretty damn sure. As it wasn't in there originally, I have to wonder why you felt inclined to stick it in there.

Adaptations suck. I'm not paying for something that some random editor or adapter feels compelled to "improve," I'm buying a translation of an existing product. When I buy a translated Murakami novel, I don't expect to see references to eBay. I don't see why manga should be treated any differently.

So, in conclusion, I hate you and will be writing you a nasty letter tomorrow instead of relaxing with a stack o' manga. Burn in the fiery pits of adaptor hell (somewhere in the Third Circle, I believe).

June
