Details for Indiana Jones 4 are becoming known, and Lucas has made this cryptic statement: “We’re basically going to do The Phantom Menace”. People’s expectations are way higher than you can deliver.” What does that mean?

Great show – you all suck for being at Dragon Con w/o me!
Maybe next year.

since you guys have all this power to influence everyone, will you use your powers for good or evil? my guess, the latter. Free Joe!

Whilst we may have to wait for the firt half of season 10 of SG1 here in the UK, don’t forget that if things go as they have in previous years we will get the second half of the season a few weeks before you do.
And even if we don’t it is just as easy for us to jet over to the states every week and get new episodes, just as many of you have come to the UK to get Dr Who.
Philip from Australia says
mikeRabil – Evo is involved. Good is not an option.
Be nice evo… package on the way….

Hey, with all the talk about Snakes on a Plane, have you ever heard of “Snakes on a Train”? A friend of mine saw it in the video store, and I saw it on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0843873). I don’t know anything about the movie. Do you know if is a rip-off of Snakes on a Plane?
