More people died, simply by attending class. Westboro plans to picket their funerals. Yeah, I'm a student there, pretty much living on campus- saying anything about a bad valentine's day is an understatement. It seems that there's been a great deal of support for NIU, and having caught wind of this...

since they are planning on making this thing a franchise- how interesting it would be if, instead of making your typical sequel, they took the same situation, the same turn of events, and showed a completely different account of it. According to what I heard, they are planning to do just that. Awes...

Wasn't planning on seeing it, but ended up paying a little too much to see it this weekend. Not saying it wasn't good- I liked it. I just have problems finding a movie that really is of enough quality that I don't feel ripped off for paying over $6 to see it. It was kind of predictable- I expected t...

This is a strange strain of off-topic. Although US politics and Adult Swim are probably comparably unbearable at the moment. I agree with what's being said about Adult Swim- I used to like it, but I'm not sure that was because of all the anime, back in the day. In other news more related to the thre...

I second the Toto thing, but apparently that only bothered two out of the six people in my house. And yes, the breast monkeys were kind of bad to the point of being laughable. Also, I watched this in part because of Zooey, and I was terribly disappointed with her DG as well. I know she has a broader...

Uhg, are you kidding me. Jessica Sexy-Mc-Evil is so one-dimensional and so... done. The writers seem to not getting the right angle on the stuff they're doing wrong. I liked Nikki. It was the multiple personalities that were hella annoying, and should've come to resolution by now. This just makes th...

I second that Noah killed Nathan- they're essentially trying to undo what they've done with him, character-wise, so he can be the awesome immoral man he was in season one. Except I liked him fine in this season too. I guess it'll be interesting to see how he works when his family is no longer part o...

Hey, I don't know whether this thread was coincidentally timely or not, but apparently the heads behind MSCL have started up another project- quarterlife . It seems to be released in short segments of episodes, and is based on young twenty-somethings instead of teenagers. From what I watched thus fa...

And why didn't she go all kung-fu on them? She saw all the kung-fu moves. She's gonna get tied up and left in a building that's on fire, WITH the backpack, I just know it. QFT. The only way this could turn out alright is if Nikki gets off her ass and actually accomplishes something semi-heroic- but...

Nah, they won't kill Hiro. And unfortunately, they won't kill Peter either. It's a shame, because every time I see him this season I dislike the character even more. I'm thinking Bob, Elle, and Maya all have a pretty good chance of being offed- though, maybe Bob and Elle don't count as "heroes"? Als...

I'm on board with you, yeahduff- I watched the whole series last year on DVD, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wasn't without its weaknesses, but there were characters, and more real characters than what passes nowadays. They weren't necessarily likeable- even, or maybe especially, the main character...

You wouldn't be biased towards eyepatches or anything would you now, swimmingtrunks? :| What? No. Why would you say that... >_> But another problem though (with the Noah Case anyway) is that he was (or should have been, being shot in the head) completely dead at the time. So they fix it by injectin...

AHHH I TOTALLY called Noah NOT dying. And that it would be the magical healing blood that fixes him. This was a pretty good episode. Up to par with last season even, maybe? As my roommate pointed out, Peter was not in it- go figure. West's flying tackles were pretty godawful in terms of special effe...

LOL! That's REALLY funny you say that, because last time I checked I was accepted into The School of the Art Institute Of Chicago BECAUSE of my manga/anime work.

I think I'm partially self-obligated to make an appearance in this thread. >_> Part of the reason I began writing Antagonist was my own frustrations with villains in fiction (and, to some extent the vilification of people in society?) who just fell flat. No driving motives, no real explanation for w...

Not surprised.
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

Ergo, my hopes of having a president anywhere near my political standing are pretty much delusional.
