They showed Minority Report on tv tonight. It struck me as mostly an action movie, though one with some interesting concepts too.
One scene I really enjoyed though, was when ...Anderton? (I think that was his name) and the precog were going through a mall. Turn here, wait there, get this, everything lining up exactly right for them to escape.
It occurred to me later that the movie Paycheck is like this scene expanded into an entire movie.
Well, I liked both, so I'm not complaining. ^_^

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Lastnight when I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of ...
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
I think i'll break off with my girlfriend
Her antics are queer I'll admit
each time I say Darling I love you
she tells me that I'm full of
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
Our baby fell out of the window
You'd think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
An old lady died in her bathtub
She died from a terrible fit
In order to fulfill her wishes
She was buried in six feet of
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
When I was in France with the army
One day I looked into my kit
I thought I would find me a sandwich
but the darn thing was loaded with
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
And now folks my story is ended
I think it is time I should quit
If any of you feel offended
Stick your head in a barrel of
Shaving cream be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen

Power: Gives Doug the ability to create unlimited amounts of shaving cream, or convert darn near anything within his AOE into shaving cream (his choice of color, flavor, scent, gel-vs-foam, etc). Also allows Doug to perform painless yet perfect depillation upon anyone or anything within AOE (although if he's not careful, he might remove a bit too much...). Hence the regular solicitations from various Hollywood personages who think Doug could make a *mint* performing Painless Ultimate Bikini Waxes and Full-Body Metrosexual Makeovers (and they could make a mint off their cut of the gross) which keep the paper shredder in the Warriors' London office well-exercised.

A friend of mine, who is new to the game, his cousin and I are starting an all Ninja Super Group over on Freedom and I'm just wondering if I can get a few volunteers to help get it set up.

Some folks have seen this new toon of mine, from Virtue. Those who have apparently have laughed themselves silly:

And a few folks have heard about these two new toons from Justice, but no one has seen them yet, because I left them at the beginning of Outbreak. Still, there have been questions (mostly of the "you must be joking, right?" variety), so here they are:

Apparently, these really are a limited-edition thing... and Right Stuf says they're already out of stock at the wholesale level. If you want one, get it now. (Right Stuf has a few, as of this posting; I don't know whether anyone else still does.)

Thought that came up... it's been established that a lot of how handwavium works is linked to the user. Well, what about AIs? Leaving aside philosophic questions about what it means to be sentient, can handwavium created AIs themselves use the stuff if so inclined?

I'm having weird issues with my account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I'm trying to work with NCSoft to fix it, but as it stands right now, I wouldn't expect me on.--
