Oh man, that's awe...mazing.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was hilarious. OHH, Miss Fancy-Pants Ohio with her year-round food!

Presumably the correct use is "the awesome Harlan Ellison."

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
at least we're getting a movie! i just hope the cast is believable.
I wish it had gone the television route. There is so much to tell and I don't see it being done justice in a film. It has such a Roswellian feel to it. I guess that wouldn't be a big selling point to tv would it?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I find this interesting:
Internet giant Google is in secret talks with Simon Fuller, the British entrepreneur behind the Spice Girls, about a joint venture that could change the way TV is watched over the internet.
News of the collaboration will prompt speculation that Google's plans for the TV market include generating original content and competing with major broadcasters.
Executives from the £229bn internet giant have been in discussions with Fuller, who invented Pop Idol, the world's most successful TV franchise, for about a year. Although details of the deal are a closely guarded secret, sources close to Fuller say it could revolutionise the way entertainment and music are distributed.

Oh, that train left my station so very long ago.

Oddly enough, 'awesome' has just recently decided to become a major part of my vocabulary, in its common USA-ian usage.
I cannot quite explain whence came the word - one minute I was calling things 'fanTAStic' and 'brilliant' and 'FABulous', and now everything is 'awesome'.
I suppose it might be a subconscious response to having one of my students called Awe. Possibly. Although that seems very tenous. Hmm.

Anyhoo - awesome news about the goody bags, folks, and the money-to-help-the-collateral-damage people also.
"The man" really does suck donkey cock, doesn't he? This whole thing is just such a nasty, venal, avaricious and selfish kerfuffle, as far as I can see: it's the fat cats trying to weasel out of paying people for their work. Not the fat cats being asked to LOSE anything themselves, mind - just being told that actually screwing that extra profit out of other people is really bad form.
...Jesus. It's like A Christmas Carol. We need the Phantom Dennis and Caspar the Friendly Ghost and an assortment of revanants that have thus far managed to escape the Winchesters' tender mercies to go visit these studio guys and scare the living crap out of them, stat.
