The Time Traveler's Wife Most excellent read. Jayseven would tell you it's his very favourite read of them all. I wouldn't go that far but it is great. A Genuinely touching romance that's weird, funny, sad, thrilling, sexy...it's got a lot going for it. I'd have perhaps liked more of the book to be spent on dealing with the philosophy of time travel, and I felt one or two characters were criminally underwritten. Not that the book was damaged greatly, however. I had a great time reading it and I absolutely adored the prose- particularly the sheer love the author pours in to passages on literature and music close to my own heart. World enough and time.

Spurs top of the table! Haha! Yes!

One of my personal favorites. It's pretty intense.

Just got back from Inglourious Basterds It am good / not The Fuck Bit of a return to form, actually. Really good- although perhaps not quite what I expected. The titular Basterds feature much less than I imagined they would, although to the credit of the rest of the cast you never feel it's a great issue. It won't win Tarantino any new fans but it definitely restored my faith in his ability to actually make a really good film from time to time. _________________

£70 is excellent, especially since you'll get a HDD I still have my 20gb and it's fine. You won't need an upgrade.

What's on disc two? I might splash out if it's good.

my comments were in jest.. as my friend pointed out: 'why doesn't God just squash everyone, and why does this have to be settled in hand to hand combat?' absurd. should be fun.

I wish I could afford it. Alas, my funds are consumed by my plans to see Tarantino's latest.

I often wonder what it's like to be you- perpetually indignant at everything around you. Must be fun.

Urgh, dude! come the fuck on!

Journalism right? You might see me around... Good luck!

my point is that it's down to marketing, branding and perception. It's nothing to do with function.

Awesome! this looks better though. :awesome:

Monster Girl is aaaaaawwesome. Seriously. Ace character.

You'd probably be surprised. I'm not saying The Iliad is a best seller fixture but it is one of the most important pieces of literature of all time. It is read for pleasure as well as study. Quite rightly, too. It's bloody incredible. The thing is, you don't conventionally picture classics as part of popular culture, so it's not something you see a lot of in the press or on telly but then something like the proms comes on and gets a massive audience. It's still appreciated.

A lot more than you imagine.

Just because you don't get it, it doesn't make you right.

It's been five years. I think complaining now would be a tad churlish.

so: rumor has it that Halo 2 is being shut down once ODST launches. this means that 'oldbox' XBL is pretty much over and Microsoft can expand the friends list past 100- an antiquated constraint from the service's younger days.

God, it really doesn't warrant discussion, does it? the whole shitfest of the second two films collapses like a pack of cards under the most superficial of scrutiny. Do what I do: Pretend they were never made.

Preview of Bendis and Maleev's Spider-Woman #1 Looks great. Alex Ross cover, too.

Everything I've heard so far is utter shit, frankly.

1:1? Jesus, that sounds rank.

three is ballbags. True fax.

Hotmail is a dumb word. It sounds juvenile (and quite rightly, it's aimed at juveniles) Gmail is...far less loaded. If anything, it's a fairly cold, bland word. It's far more functional, only evoking it's connection to the well accepted Google name with it's clean G prefix. That reads alarmingly like total bollocks, but it's not
