I wonder what role Scarlett Johannson is playing in Iron Man 2...whatever it is, I always enjoy seeing her on the screen. She is truly one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of our time.

I think someone needs to go through and remove all of Nicky's posts on these comments so we don't have to look at the posted ad links put in here.

I have very fond memories of Hong Kong Phooey: PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hong Kong Phoey live action? That's a sacrelidge if only for the fact that Scatman Caruthers cannot be a part of it. Now, if we were talking the Chan Clan or Jabberjaw, then I would be gettin excited.

Oh, crap. Now I'm really worried about Caprica. Ron Moore had better stay involved because I don't want this show to drop to the quality of a Joss Whedon program, which I enjoy, but aren't BSG quality by a mile. The show already doesn't have the amazing Michael Rymer. Couldn't it at least get back Toni Graphia?
