The best war sim ever
Pointless Waste of Time has posted The Ultimate War Sim. (Thanks to Lucianne.com for the tip.) The funny thing is…I realize this is pointed satire, but the other part of me would really like to play this game, if only some manufacturer would make it. Oh: Language notice. It’s funny, but it does have some …

Comics Continuum reports that: …the “Starcrossed” movie will be repeated on Saturday, July 31 at 7:30 p.m. I don’t know what time zone Continuum is referring to, so beware. In other news on that same page, Dini is leaving Warner Brothers Animation to “pursue other opportunities”.

Primal Scream time
I will refrain from writing a hundred A’s, I’s and G’s across the width of the screen and simply state that I am furious with Cartoon Network and myself. Two years ago, after anxiously awaiting the three-part “Savage Time” which was to wrap up Justice League’s first season, I found out that instead of showing …

Spoiled trailer?
It sure seems as though the new trailer for Anchorman gives away the entire plot from beginning to end, including the finale. (He gets off the island but finds Helen Hunt married someone else.)

When did we start finding all these planets?
According to this article on a new planet found by the Spitzer Space telescope, scientists have found 100 planets in other solar systems. We have? When did this happen? Why wasn’t this major news when this all started? I didn’t even know we HAD a Spitzer Space Telescope!
