Well I enjoyed Prometheus.. I'm surprised they allowed the female lead to still believe in religion and allowed to mention Christmas in the movie...

Thanks so much for including me in this ping. I’m on my way out the door, but I look forward to checking in later, God willing.

They certainly look like FReepers.

(No matter what the blather the scriptwriters put in their mouths.)

The rest of the Dr. Who season is now available on Netflix. Finally it’s revealed who River Song really is.

I just got a copy of next week's script:

"Lookout, typical capitalist cyborg aliens are in street keepings their wealth to selfs and polluting."

"Come, comrades, let us fight off these oppressors of worker dignity. Fight for glory of collectivism!"

"For comrades!" "Arrrr" " We fight" "Die yankee hegemon!" Ahhh ptoo ptoo ptoo kaboom, "Pick up hammer" "Vote for Obama" "Use sickle on bourgeois cyborg" klank klank ptoo ptoo ptoo

I saw it last night and other than the effects, I thought it was an Epic Fail.

Is she also the character who had to have the graphic abortion in the movie?

frankefish "adventures" & *creature this+creature that* hybrid... "not a guilty pleasure"
(it has become a horrible/laughable parody of an national network)

Saw it in 3D effects were excellent. Story line eh not so much. Lacked resolution. It’s like they trimmed out about a half hour of story. MIB 3 was GREAT BTW.

I watched a bit of the first season of Falling Skies, up to the point where the kid with the thing in his back-—used by the aliens for control-—got back to the group. Then I lost track. I have a friend who loves this show, and tonight I’m going to start watching again, so we can sort of watch together. In turn, she’s going to get into the Walking Dead with me. Hope I won’t be too lost with Falling Skies.

You might check Hulu or TNT for last season episodes of Falling Skies.

I hope they up the alien factor and down the soap opera this season. It was leaning too much toward being a Lost with aliens and the alpha characters vying for leadership.
