THE HULK vs. JAR-JAR BINKS
I'd pay to see that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Puny Gungan?
Weather is weird. It was partly sunny earlier, but now is back to full cloud and a little rain, much like Sunday.
Now 18 dead in NYC, Looters arrested in Rockaway.
plus, a bomb scare in SF [link]
Disney owns Marvel (and the Avengers films). Joss directed The Avengers. Disney now owns Star Wars.
Mmmmmm....
People have been speculating that the “Untitled Pixar Day of the Dead Film” might actually be Grim Fandango.

So weird--someone on a con call with me broke up with laughter while someone else was talking, and I had no idea why. She managed to blurt out "Sorry! I had to laugh when you said that!" Not the remotest idea, even if it was me or the vendor she was laughing at, but luckily she sent me an email...containing the copypasta definition of "swimmingly" which is apparently so hysterical it sends grown women into fits.
