Hey Joe, you mentioned you picked up some of the ‘His Dark Materials’ set of books. You didn’t mention what you thought about them? (Or have you yet to start the books?).
I picked the set up after hearing a few people mention that series saying things like “if you like the Harry Potter books, give these a try”. So, I ordered them, and read all three, and I must say, I was mightily surprised. I really enjoyed those books – even if they are young adult (I think?).
The best part of these books was that I had no clue at all what they were about, or what the world was like that the characters lived in. It was an exiting journey for myself as well as the main character!
I have to agree with Kevin, there are plenty of hot French women, but Jean Reno is The Man.
The latest of his movies that I’ve seen is Empire of Wolves, and he plays a kick ass bad man. Though watch it with English subtitles because the dubbing is horrible.
Wait….the only good part of Superman 2 is the storyline of Supes giving up his powers for Lois?!?
I have to be honest–in my mind, Superman 2 is almost as strong a movie as the original Superman and in some ways its better. And based on the long history this one had of getting to the screen, if there were EVER a movie that screams out special edition DVD needed and needed now, it’s Superman 2.
I got my comment played!!! Yippee!!!
I need to second the positive opinion about “His Dark Materials”. I read them after my 13 yr daughter did, and was pleasantly surprised. While this may be a YA target book, the dystopian views in the book make it great for a wider audience. Now, I need to go dig up this new series, because Pullman rocks.
A note on the Dark Kingdom and the fears that it may suffer from SciFi making changes to it. Unless they re-edit it, they didn’t have anything to do with the production of it!
Over in the UK, a two hour version of it aired that was pretty cut up, but the four hour (with commercials) should hold up well.

Ok.
I’ll say this once on behalf of my minions.
DO NOT REFER TO “SCIFI” as “SKIFFY”.
This is the LAMEST FUCKING reference in the world.
You might think you are being creative, or cute, but you are ANNOYING THE FUCK out of your listeners.
Please FOR THE LOVE OF SCIFI!!!! STOP SAYING “SKIFFY”! IT IS LIKE FINGERNAILS ON A CHALKBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In regards to Lorries question about Supemans’ and Lois Lanes’ love life, or lack there of. She should read “Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex” by Larry Niven.
*sigh* Some people just don’t get us.
We do not refer to Science Fiction as skiffy. We refer to The Scifi Channel (when they are doing something really bad) as skiffy.
Yes, it is lame, it is suppose to be lame. That’s the point.
Ah well… I guess if these people don’t get our humor, they can swear like sailors instead. (Because, that’s not ‘Annoying’ at all!) 😉
