Random news

I can’t wait to see this. It’s been in production for frakin’ ever. (Well, like five years. But it feels longer.)

There will be a reboot of the Flintstones headed up by Family Guys Seth Macfarlane…no air date yet, but he is cleared to get it started…

Barney will likely still be a choad :smiley:

A Highlander reboot is forthcoming - with Justin Lin (Fast 5) as the director…

And a quick scene from the direct to DVD Green Lantern Emerald Knights (DC has been really good with these lately, so I’m looking forward to it)

(btw that’s Nathan Fillion doing the voice of Hal Jordan…please geek out as appropriate)

As a House fan, I am really dissapointed - Lisa Edelstien (Cuddy) will not be returning next season

I don’t really mind this news actually. I was naive enough to think that Cuddy and House were going to stay together for good, but since they broke up again I have completely lost interest in that storyline and their relationship. I love House but the story has been going around in circles for a while and the House-Cuddy relationship has been the worst part.

I never really watched it for the relationships side of things. I was more engaged by the procedural side of the story. This last episode with the leg surgury was crazy!

That was indeed!

Arnie has put his return to acting on hold!

More important stuff to worry about:

Quit fretting about Neuromancer, for Pete’s sake! We’ve got the Rapture looming!

Yeah that was at the bottom of the article. :smiley:

CDC takes a cue from Twitter and promotes zombie – and hurricane and earthquake – preparedness
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/05/twitter-encourages-center-for-disease-control-to-talk-zombies.html

"You heard right. In a Monday blog post, the normally staid agency has put together a straight-faced list of recommendations on how to survive a massive invasion of the flesh-eating undead.

Daigle said a normal blog post gets maybe 1,000 hits in a week. By Wednesday, two days after the post went up, the zombie primer had racked up 30,000 hits. Then the server crashed."

Another article states the CDC getting the idea from the May 21st apocalypse prediction. But, who knows?

Are my posts invisible to everyone but me? :smiley:

Welcome to the club…

You should have posted it here with Mortal Kombat news…

Thanks, is there a password or secret handshake I need to know about?

I put it with the other posts about surviving a Zombie Apocalypse. Why would it go with Mortal Kombat? Are there Zombies in MK?

No, it’s sort of a running joke with this thread. (:

Why are there two blank posts in the middle of this thread?

That’s so weird. :rolleyes:

May 21 Doomsday update: 12 earthquakes recorded worldwide

Looks like we survived mostly intact. Granted there’s still time on the west coast.

So we had less earthquakes than normal. Must be the fact that there’s far less people walking around now that they’ve been raptured.

All my friends are still around. I guess I shoulda expected that :slight_smile:
