Guh. I love Jamie Bamber. I’m so excited for this.

may i suggest the American Idol season 10 wash out Julie Zorrilla?

yes she dressed like a 12 year old going to church on Idol, but i think with the right clothes she’d look the part.

Yeah, I was more thinking about “Kicking SorryBarb” and leaving the rack out.

Can she really be Lara w/o the rack? d:

It’s amazing what they can do with brassieres. Padding. Stuffing. She’ll be fine.

Reminded me of the fund raiser for the Detroit statue. I’m surprise there was no reference. But here:

I’m not making fun of the Japanese, and my heart goes out to them.

But I’m astounded that barely 18 months ago, a anime series was made called Tokyo Magnitude 8.0:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10704

The premise of the project is the 70% or higher possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime will depict what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place. The story will center on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation. A powerful tremor emanates from an ocean trench, the famed Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge crumble and fall, and the landscape of Tokyo changes in an instant. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yutaka strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.

While the series’ premise had a land base epic center, it’s still eerie.

I watched the series and enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t give it a recommendation because I reserve those for Summer Wars, Ghibli, etc.

Frakkin Crom!! Chuck Norris is 71.

His beard is much older.

Weekend full moon the biggest in about 20 years

http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/03/18/nasa.moon/index.html?hpt=C2


Saturday’s full moon will be a super “perigee moon” – the biggest in almost 20 years. This celestial event is far rarer than the famed blue moon, which happens once about every two-and-a-half years.

“The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993,” said Geoff Chester with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington. “I’d say it’s worth a look.”

Full moons look different because of the elliptical shape of the moon’s orbit. When it’s at perigee, the moon is about 31,000 miles (50,000 km) closer to Earth than when it’s at the farthest point of its orbit, also known as apogee.
“Nearby perigee moons are about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser moons that occur on the apogee side of the moon’s orbit,” the NASA website says.

This full moon will rise in the east at sunset and should look especially big at that time because of what’s known as the “moon illusion.”

“For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects,” according to NASA.

As rare as it is, it may be worth a look. Miss it and you’ll have to wait until 2029 to see it again.

hmmm…there is a giggedy factor there

Yeah, the consensus seems thumbs down in this thread:

More casting news for The Dark Knight Rises…

Frakkin’ Bane? Seriously?? He’d need to be the one and only plot line…

good find Omra!

The Bane story has been in the mix for a while now. Same with Catwoman. But the Falcomne Jr storyline is new.,

Although I dont doubt Nolan can pull all those threads together nicely…It’ll be a LOT of stuff happening in a 2 - 2.5 hour movie. Batman Begins and Dark Knight had two big bads…3 may be pushing it.
