Commented on 4 Things to Consider Before You Try to Join the Amish
I think its funny that from the Simpsons to BoingBoing, Mennonites only get mentioned in popular culture in conjunction with our more glamorous cousins. We may have been here first, but their plain life style gets them all the fame...
Commented on London cops beating the shit out of peaceful G20 demonstrators
I think what we're seeing here is the emergence of a new and effective tactic for responding to attacks by riot police: 1. stand your ground 2. put your arms in the air 3. chant "This is not a riot"...

TharkLord's (#56) right. Why doesn't anyone ever speak up for the poor monitor? All this talk of fake or real. Either way, the monitors took the brunt. Some day, the towers will get their due....
Commented on Pratchett donates $1 million to Alzheimer's research
I came across an interesting article yesterday claiming that playing the board game Go can help slow the progress of Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, it's difficult to verify the story because it's tough to Google Go....
Commented on E911 document podcast: Historic, incredibly dull technical document read aloud
After trying for the first 30 seconds to valiantly follow the E911 audio, I began to question my purpose in life. I quickly decided it would be more realistic to listen to the it as an ambient background to other...

Steve Schnier commented on Superb fan-made Green Lantern movie trailer
Church @ 30 Of course I can see the difference between the trailer and a pair of Spock ears. I was just saying that for the time and effort they put into it - if it was me, I would have done something original. Just saying......

Its too bad WB has already cast their Hal Jordan for the upcoming film, Nathan Fillion would be great as a GL. If you want to see him do other Superhero stuff, he did the voice of the Steve Trevor in the recent Wonder Woman animated film. Does a great job in it as well. For me though, I always thought most of the cast of Farscape would be perfect for casting in a GL movie. Ben Browder(John Chricton): Hal Jordon Wayne Pygram(Scorpius): Sinestro Anthony Simcoe(Dargo): Kilowog Claudia Black(Ayern Sun): Jade...
Mister N commented on Superb fan-made Green Lantern movie trailer
A movie for Green Lantern would not be enough for the story. Perhaps mini series with the story and you can have a lot of guest writers for this. Nathan Fillion as GL is a great idea, although he does need the mask. For being fan based, this is pretty good. Perhaps I suspect fan based with the right connections and enough monetary support?....

overunger commented on Superb fan-made Green Lantern movie trailer
It's from the Star Trek trailer and I guess from the movie score. And I believe it's usage is why everyone is creaming their pants about this fantrailer. It's an awesome job of editing and effects- but it seems like the placement of deep, intense,male voiceovers on top of the rising horns and strings over images of random super-flying creates a sort of Pavlov's fan - regardless of content. It's interesting to see how easily succumbed people are to glamour and sparkle - and parental vocal resonances with triumphant music. Ha- humans.........
