Watto's Junk Yard / Re: 2007 DVD Releases Thread
« on: May 11, 2007, 10:22 AM »
I have a few TV sets - one or two that are current but mostly ones out of nostalgia like Alf, McGyver, Seinfeld, X-Files, Family Guy, Simpsons...  As for new stuff, I have Lost, Arrested Development, Curb your Enthusiasm...and I think that's pretty much it.




And for the first time in months' I'm really excited about the releases next week.  The Fountain, Pan's Labyrinth, and Seraphim Falls all on one day.  Oh my.

Luckily they didn't all disappear in the first big rush and Dale had time to get in and pre-order.  I'm all set for this round.  Hooray and a big thanks to Dale - I owe you one (3).

Yeah, I sent it to him too once I got it.  No big deal either way.  I've got to remind myself not to get too worked up over hart-to-find star wars toys/statues.

If you believe some of the comments at RS this thing might not be such a big deal after all... things like this:

"I think it will be easy to pick up Gree and Malak at C4 itself...I heard they only sold 12,000 tickets...SDCC which gets over 100,000 was still easy enough for the Shockie... "

Did any of you guys order extras?

It's one per Rob, as I'm sure you're aware.  But the order I placed is all spoken for, sorry.  It's going to be a tough one to find extras out of this. :-\  I wanted the Yoda too, but Beth wants it and she's doing the favor, so no way am I asking her for that one. 

I hadn't realized.  I wasn't paying too much attention because I'm not going.  Dale is my guy and he's not at a computer at the moment.  No big deal I guess.  There's still the raffle, and the chance that he or someone can just get one in line at CIV.

Knock on wood but the pre-order seems to be going still for the busts - maybe it will last long enough.

I just got the email - but it's useless to me since I can't go.  Hopefully Dale was near a computer somewhere.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Transformers/Spider-Man Competition?

If the movie does well (which it will) they'll make sequels.  Which means more Transformers toys 3 years from now.  Transformers could be huge for Hasbro over the next decade.

Cool that the show is going to get to wrap up clean in a few years.  I wish there were more like 22 or 23 episodes per season, but oh well.

I've got the Hasbro and Unleashed versions.  And I don't like them.  The only other one I have any interest in is the Gentle Giant Bust - and at $350+ I won't be getting one for a very long time.

No doubt.

I'll be happy with anything that isn't last place at this point.  At least there was this encouraging tid bit today:

May 8 Zambrano's arm slot is lower than usual this season, and it could be partly responsible for his poor start, the Cubs' Web Site reports.

Recommendation: Zambrano's been working with pitching coach Larry Rothschild to correct the issue. As long as the glitch in his mechanics isn't injury related (and there's no indication that it is), we expect Zambrano to be fine going forward.

I really find Yahoo advice to be too little too late in most cases.  I always get advice that guys are sitting out a game popping up mid-way through the 7th inning ::)  We've just learned that Wells is sitting out with a touch of the flu...  Jeez, I knew that 6.5 innings ago, thanks.

I got one of those just today:

"May 8 KFFL has learned Cincinnati Reds OF Josh Hamilton is not in the lineup for the game Tuesday, May 8. Ryan Freel is starting in center field."

Thanks.

Of course, I don't have time to pull him, and then they use him as a pinch hitter in the 9th - so I use an entire game for a 0/1 effort.

Same thing happened with my catcher today - and he got a hit - which was part of one of my closers (Dempster) blowing a save, that not only cost me the save, but cost my SP Lily the win.

Just my luck.

So, how'd the prom go Diddly? ;) I won't be going to mine, coming up sometime soon here, but it's supposed to be one of the highlights of high school//senior year.

To hell with it.  I skipped mine to go see Snapcase and Sick of it All in Kentucky - never regretted it for a second.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Force Unleashed Replacement Wave
« on: May 8, 2007, 11:18 AM »
It's not really worth complaining about if you ask me.  The video game delay screwed up their production schedule.  Since it takes over a year to get a figure from the drawing board to the shelves, there was virtually no chance of new figures or pushing forward 2008 figures.  So they're doing the best they can and trying to come up with some semi-clever repaint/repack items to keep product flowing.

Not the greatest thing ever, but not the end of the world at all.

Yahoo's advice sure is odd.

May 5 Carpenter will undergo arthroscopic surgery next week after an exam showed recurrent swelling, stiffness and loss of motion in his right elbow.

Advice: The team had hoped to have Carpenter back in the lineup this week, but that's obviously not going to happen. A 15-game winner last year, Carpenter has not pitched this season and will be out at least three months.

So if he hasn't pitched this season how is he 0-1 with a 7.50 era?

Yahoo's just wrong right?

As for saving gas, the only real way to do it is to drive less.  Which is what I try to do.  I hate driving.


I'm the complete opposite, I love driving.  I find it relaxing and it takes my mind off of the day.

Polluting and supporting terrorism makes you relaxed!?  Ouch.   8)  :-*
