geebsAh, those Thai! Filmdrunk has a trailer for this movie Fireball up. Apparently, its a movie about some dude who's brother is in a coma and needs an expensive operation, so to get the money, he plays the VERY GAME THAT PUT HIS BROTHER IN A COMA! mnsv('What a twist!') And what is this game? Its like underground basketball, where there doesn't seem to be any dribbling, but you're allowed to pull off Muay Thai moves on your opponents or pull out a sword and stab them in the gut. There also seems to be a lot of parkour (though not in the game), as modern action moves are wont to do. But its called fireball, and the ball is not even on fire! cliffV('What's up with that?!')
Cool, I didn't realize Fox stopped doing that stupid 8 day crap to watch their shows online. So now I can watch the current weeks ep off Fox or Hulu. And CBS seems to be having issues, half the time I try to watch HIMYM or NCIS, it has trouble loading or whatever. Like today, when I tried to watch NCIS. But fancast had the ep up. All in all, convenient, that's less I have waiting for me on the DVR, which equals more naptime! Alas, Leverage is only showing off the TNT site, which does do the week back thing. Looks like Nip/Tuck is also a week back on Hulu. But its prolly not the kinda show I wanna be watching here anyways.
TV commentary:
On NCIS, I was a little confused by the foster mother chyx reasoning. So, she wanted to arm the gang most of her boys used to belong to with the latest in miltary hardware so no one would mess with them, and thus they would be safe?!
And ah, I figured the kid wasn't Gibbs son. They made it too obvious that he was possibly the son that it had to be something else. Juicy twist though, with Gibbs having killed the dude's real father. So, Gibbs had gone to Columbia to snipe the kid's drug kingpin's father, and was successful, but got wounded in the process. And he was nursed back to health by the mother. I guess she would've had to have known Gibbs was the sniper. Its like what other American marines would be there. And she must've been cool with it too, particularly if she told her son to turn to him whenever he was in trouble.

Looks like they're ramping up the weirdness on Fringe. So, there's a manifesto, possibly written by Walter (or at least on an old typewriter of his, but who else would type on that?) talking about how technology will possibly bring about our downfall, and the existence of a multiverse and there's a war going on between us and someone else (another dimension?)
So when Liv was a kid, she was in some clinical trial that might give her super brain powers? Also, when Jones escaped, there was a side effect that he had to go into a hyperbaric chamber for a couple of weeks (which is why he hasn't shown up until now), and another side effect where the unthinkable happens to them, in Walter's words. Everyone assumes he's dying, but I'm guessing its given him superpowers, since after he turned himself in, put the Feebs through the ringer (including letting Liv discovers she may have weird mind powers), and was hospitalized, he escaped, a huge hole being blown through the wall of the hospital room he was in. Now did he do that?
So the show is getting more interesting.
