You could've lettered in Mathketball

Heh, reading Ain't It Cool today, I was amused how Harry Knowles looked like a durned fool complaining about one of the Wolverine promos, the one about Emma Frost (there's also one for william Stryker, the the Blob, John Wraith, Deadpool, Sabretooth, Gambit, Wolverine, and a general one featuring many of the main mutant characters. BTW, I didn't realize the blob was played by Keamy from Lost in a fat-suit). No, the complaint wasn't about how Emma Frost was supposed to be hotter, he was baffled that she was this glowing disco ball chick. Apparently, he didn't know of her secondary diamond mutation. How can one be a self professed uber geek (and to me that means all the geekiness categories, from comics to video games to rpgs to fantasy/sci fi among other things) and not know that?! It should be common knowledge to any comic book geek!

And I don't think "Oh, I only read X-men during so and so's run" or I stopped reading in the 90s is a valid excuse. Well, if one's knowledge is lacking, then I think one shouldn't claim to be a comic book geek. Or at the very least, if you're gonna make a living writing about such things, do some friggin' research first so you don't end up looking like an idiot!

So the Caprica movie came out on DVD yesterday. I haven't watched it yet, but there are a few things I heard that I'm trying to reconcile with BSG. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

OTH- Heh, tricky promos there for this ep. ( spoiler cut )

90210- Also with the tricky promos. ( spoiler cut )

Reaper- ( spoiler cut )

Fringe- ( spoiler cut )

I've learned nothing so far, except lobsters have clear blood

Is it me, or is it a guy's inclination, when he sees a chick dressed in an over-sized shirt and short shorts like Vanessa Hudgens here, to imagine she's not actually wearing anything under it?

What's with all these actresses doing self deprecating videos on Funny or Die as of late? I mean, last week had LiLo's E-Harmony Profile, now there's Denise Richard showing off her fun bags?

Is it me, or does the older "Don't Stop Believin'" promo for Glee give the show a slightly different feel to it than the the extended trailer? And is it lame that I totally would get a soundtrack to this if there were one out?

You know, it wasn't until G.I.Joe Resolute series kicked into full gear that I realized how violent it was (well, compared to the original cartoon!). And the joes aren't above dirty tricks: ( spoiler cut )
