Ran-Dum-Dum-Dugan Thoughts

— Star Wars fans can be divided into two groups: those who prefer 1-3 over 4-6, and those with taste. It's the exact opposite for Lost fans.

— Rachel Maddow is as wonderful as she is intelligent and witty.

— I've done my best to read up on the Google/Verizon proposal, and see things from their side. But I can't. It seems wrong to partition the internet into different, tiered internets. I bet the same was said about TV and cable. 

— New York Comic Con looks bodacious, through and through.

— It's nearly Sunday, and I still haven't seen Scott Pilgrim vs The World. :(

— While some stranger inherited my one-way ticket to Oakdale, I just came into what amounts to a round-trip ticket. For those keeping track, MTA/LIRR: 1, JOEY: 1

— I hope the rumors about MARVEL Studios and Jon Favreau are just that.

— One of the more boggling aspects of politics in the last few years has been the degradation of intelligence as some form of elitism, and the rise of ignorance as some kind of virtue. We can blame former-President Bush and former-Governor Palin and numerous talking heads for this.

— It's good to have Futurama back.

— Keeping my chops even has become infinitely easier now that there's a beard trimmer around.

— Can you name a better SNL sketch than Celebrity Jeopardy?

— Jon Stewart with or without goatee? With.

— What lies in the shadow of the statue, Lebowski?

— The Half-Penny is like Blue Post, if you could actually talk to the bartenders on a busy night, eat popcorn, and watch movies.

— Is there a point when creation no longer belongs to creator? That's a conversation I want to have with George Lucas.

— Speaking of, read this article. Things will make sense (Ewoks!).

— Something like 3 people have told me they've posted comments, but they haven't stuck. I haven't deleted any! So, post it to facebook. I promise I'll respond and we can chat about things. It'll be fuuun.

— I could really stand a haircut.

— An explanation of the title.

— I need your help: What should I blog about? New ideas that aren't me bitching about things I enjoy (Lost, Star Wars, comics, the United States) are hard to come by. I'm open to ideas.
