"So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show." - Wayne's World 2

"I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they?" - The West Wing

You're a "glass-half-empty" kinda person, aren't you? ;)

Good picks, but the recent two-part adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns needs to be on this list. That truly rocked my world.

Well, I meant that I shouldn't have to explain why I'd want to see it. As for the film's plot, that's another discussion entirely.

It was closer to one day but that doesn't make it suck any less.

I don't mind the color, anymore than I do the various sizes of dvds/blu-rays on my shelf. Whatever houses and protects the disc from the elements will be fine for me.

It may not have done much else than update the graphics (in truly impressive fashion) but I felt Halo CE Anniversary was a great remake.

I heard the new Robocop suffers mostly from a shitty script. I suspect the PG-13 rating is the least of its problems. It'll probably become just as dispensable as that Total Recall remake.

And that drove me nuts. On Netflix I actually took enjoyment from building my queue and selecting titles. On Gamefly, they seem to punish you for doing that. Luckily, I really wanted to play all the games on the list but still, Gamefly, your service has been around for that long and you haven't solved that problem?

If I could, I'd give you a big ole hug!

The pain is what it is. It never goes away. It just becomes something you accept and live with. In the past decade, I lost so many family members and friends. Most of them were elderly and the crazy thing is that it was basically an entire generation passing on; most of the family members were grandparents, aunts and uncles. My maternal grandmother was second-to-last to die and my brother and I felt like our childhoods died along with her; so much of our youth was spent in the company of her and the others. I'm sure they knew that I loved them while they lived. The thing is, as a child I wasn't at my best maturity-wise and I feel my time with them would be a lot better if I was the person I am now.

Same thing happened to me. Epic Greenman told me to just empty the queue and put only the title you want (or a few/handful) and you'd have a better shot of receiving it. Netflix's disc service handles this problem so much better.
