Umm, sadly not entirely true. The New Shmoo came back the following year as Fred Flintstone and Barbey Rubble's third wheel in a show where they played Stone Age Cops. I swear I'm not making this up; it was paired with an equally ill-conceived show about a teenage version of The Thing from the Fantastic Four, where Ben Grimm was a high school kid who could turn into The Thing at will by twisting his ring and proclaiming "Thing Ring, do your thing!!!" Obviously Hanna Barbera was trying to burn off some of its licensing, and do it fast. And apparently I watched it.

Dude, I dunno -- I've been trying with Waits for years. I don't think this will happen like it did with Dylan. I can understand having the hots for Legolas but he really didn't do much for me; he's too skinny and clean-cut-looking, I guess. Then again, I did think Frodo was cute -- Sam, too, actually. So it's a matter of taste. > From: "ross taylor" > My only criticism of Spiderman is that the > emphasis on "no matter what you do, they'll > criticize you" sounded pretty Republican. I guess -- keep in mind that "Spider-man: Hero or Villain?" has been a constant theme of the series since the very first, with Stan Lee at the helm. It's a little frustrating, I think, but not only does it make sense if you imagine a costumed super-hero in the real world, it also is true to what people think of regular spiders. I love spiders and I still find them pretty creepy. The only part that bothered me, aside from the fact that the love speeches were four times too long, shot two times too close, and acted half as well as they should have been, was the 9/11 rah-rah bullshit. The New Yorkers throwing stuff at the Goblin were actually pretty awesome, but it spoiled it to know why that scene was there, and the bit with the flag at the end was cheesy. > From: gSs > until then we have things like mozilla.org. it rocks.

Strange, I heard a lot of that noise as well but very little about the shirt-pulling, hysterical playing up of fouls to win free kicks, and unsportsmanlike whining the Italians have been doing for four games. There's nothing wrong with playing a 'shutdown' defensive game like they do, and yes there were a couple of bad calls that went against them, but the idea of a fix is hogwash. They deserved to get beat; since their opening win they've lost 2 and drawn 1, with a GD of -2. Now they're complaing about it. Good riddance. A quick summary of Crapola Italian Style can be found at: http://www.football365.com/World_Cup_2002/World_Cup_News/story_33760.shtml The four games this weekend are all very intriguing. The Koreans, even injured, should give the Spanish fits...and Turkey's got the street-style game to take out a strong Senegal side. I'm thinking Germany 3:1 over our boys, it's been a nice run, but Klose & Co. are just that much better...but the main attraction comes first. My head keeps screaming Brazil, but something tells me the Three Lions will win their biggest game in many a year on Friday. And good luck to 'em.

Reeves is indeed absent, which would probably explain the absence of any Berklee-schooled shredder sound. I actually liked Gabrels, but I can see how some people find him "over the top." Instead, on Heathen you get the more subtle and uber-experimental David Torn, as well as Dave Grohl of Foo-vana fame and even Pete Townshend. King Crimson bassist, and musical whore, Tony Levin pops up on one track, according to the folks over at Elephant Talk. There's even a Pixie cover on this album. My copy has not yet arrived from HMV, but I've heard a few MP3s, and I like so far, I like.

The opinions on that are all over the place! I saw and heard reports on three different TV channels and spoke to several people who watched the entire game, but nobody can agree on anything. I've only seen a summary of the match, but my take is this: the red card for Totti was too harsh, but understandable since he is a notorious diver. The offsite call against Italy in extra time was wrong, but not obviously so. It's also not clear that the striker really would have scored. Some people are certain, others are equally certain that he wouldn't have. So I don't think fixing was involved. Vieri had his chances to decide the match, but he didn't take them.

On the news here > in Boston this morning, there were grumblings of a fix for the host > country and bad reffing. The big story over here was that one of the Koreans plays regularly for Perugia, and because he scored against Italy he has had his contract torn up. The official line from Perugia was that he was fired for slagging off Italy, but as far as I can make out all he did was say "This shows that Korea are better than Italy" which was not an unreasonable comment in the circs. My mate Stephen who knows a lot more about footie than me said that playing at home in the WC gives a team a huge advantage. I suppose this is partly because there are so many home fans, and partly because the ref is going to think twice before penalising a home player. > I, however, cannot judge myself because, when I returned home from > bringing the kids to school and turned on the TV to watch the second > half, our TV exploded.

THe entire film was in post production by then. THey didnt go back and add a thing AFAIK. The YCFWU-NY are a film clichi anyway. In the comic the people of New York tended to support (and yes fear) Spider-Man while the officials hated him, (some of that good hero bad hero stuff you were talking about) and the flag shot at the end is also straight out of the comic. again no pandering to sentiment here. The flag was our country's but what else do you find a top that building in NY? and it was not given a full frame close up (unlike the mondo Dr Pepper placement), it was in the periphery of the shot with Spidey on the pole the important image.

I must look out for that. But I find it hard to believe that it can out-sinister 'Night of the Lepus'. When those giant bunnies go into slo-mo and start sucking everyone's blood dry, believe me, it's faintly macabre. And it's a film which currently rates 2.8 out of 10 on imdb!
