$19 each? Not totally sold on that price. Besides, I need to get Obi-Wan, Luke, and Palpatine first.

Well, the average person would just say I'm Italian. But, there's more to it than that.
I am...
1/2 Sicilian
1/2 Southern Italian
There is actually a difference between Italians and Sicilians.

My local IMAX theater doesn't have a date for the release of The Matrix Reloaded yet. Anyone else run across this?

Gotta wait till next week. Just too busy this weekend to see it. I also have the luxury of an IMAX theater right near me for when that rolls around. Attack Of The Clones was awesome in IMAX. I can only imagine what this will be like!

Maybe she's on tap for the job? I never saw here on the show, but I heard her on radio, and she sounded like she knew sports. Might make her a decent candidate for the job.

Clone Wars '03-'05 / Re: No Worries for the Red Battle Droid
« on: May 13, 2003, 03:06 PM »
Well, that's the real deal. Retailers should've learned their lesson from EPISODE I. Again, they overestimated demand, and wound up with too many pegwarmers.
What's really going to bake your noodle is this: Toys R Us, a big chain, ordered twice as many Collection 1 figures as they did Collection 2 figures in their SAGA orders last year. Honest, I saw the numbers. And most collectors would agree that they tended to prefer the Collection 2 figures. Now, here's the twist: most of the excess stock that TRU has now is COLLECTION 2! Hmmm, it appears that maybe we don't make up anywhere near as big a share of the market in movie years as we thought.

Sorry, but it would be an insult to Melissa Stark to replace her with Jillian Barberrie. She knows nothing about football!
Pam Oliver might be a good choice, IMO.

I'm not quite through the new Tomahawk CD yet. But, if it's anywhere near as good as the first, I'll be most happy. Funny thing is, I didn't even know this new one was out until I saw it at Tower Records with the rest of the new releases last week.
