The movie should have had no sequels, spinoffs, etc made. Same with Starship Troopers... but there should have been a Showgirls 2...
Highlander. I guess that a case could be made that Highlander is a conceptual and thematic sequel for Showgirls, despite the former predating the latter by over a decade. That's a very interesting point. Thanks, TK-421.

Good luck and thanks, Rip. I think for a lot of people it was surprising just how fragile the internet can be - at least it was for me. Don't think that many of us don't appreciate your efforts, but keep in mind that it is hard to do so if there is little communication about what is happening. Get some rest.
True and I appreciate that. I am just tired and relieved. Probably a little grumpy. Haven't had anything good to pass along in a few days and too tired to formulate any effectual communication. No time for rest yet, have a day full of hectic work ahead. Maybe tonight. Rip, a lot of folks are very grateful to you for voluntarily hosting OO over the years. You should never feel unappreciated. +1 billion We love ya, ya big f*cktard!

Wait, two kids had sex and the girl ended up pregnant?!?!? My stars! Famous or not, she's a young girl who made a choice that a lot of kids make. She's hardly special in that regard (as is the father). I sincerely hope for the best for both of them as raising that baby will require sacrifices (probably by her), money or not. Frankly, this is the most normal story to come from the Spears family in quite a while.

I just finished the game (my GOTY) and aside from the long load times, I did run into a few CTDs in Act V, whereas I had none prior. I don't know if it was a coincidence that it only happened in Act V, but the game autosaves so much that I never lost any real progress. Again, the best RPG that I've played in a long time and was one of the few games in the past few years that I not only beat, but was actually sad after it was over.

Yep, cult members are goofy.
Right. Kettle, this is pot, and he has something to say... * Purge runs away.  Explain. Some people consider Christianity to be cultlike. It's not rocket science. Pasting a blanket statement of 'cult' to a whole religion is quite a stretch. So, no it's not rocket science, but it's not accurate either. The irony in that statement is hilarious.

holy crap! I wish there was a Best Buy nearby so I could grab this. Last time I bought a boxed set of DVD's from the online they shipped it in a plastic envelope and half the disc were scratched up, so no more online DVD purchases from BB for me.
Maybe Amazon has it for cheap...

you found some funny parts in that?
I wanna know how that crap gets made instead of any number of amazing movies that have a good compelling story, but the marketers don't think they will make any money. Yet, someone thinks this will.
The sad thing is, that someone is probably right.

How could anybody think spaceballs is not funny?
They watched Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and History of the World Part I and realized what funny was truly about. How is, "I'm a Mog; half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend", not funny? I don't see it. Because this Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What knockers. Inga: Oh, thank you doctor. is way funnier. Inga: Werewolf! Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Werewolf? Igor: There. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What? Igor: There, wolf. There, castle. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Why are you talking that way? Igor: I thought you wanted to. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, I don't want to. Igor: Suit yourself. I'm easy is better than anything in Spaceballs. I promise this is the last derail on this subject from me.

Not that I want them to divert their efforts from any future SP sequels, but I think that the Elder Scrolls world is excellent for an MMO. It is large and diverse, with many separate regions and architectural and cultural differences, not to mention a few different races. I don't see this as being overly similar to WoW in any way, assuming they go with the current art style that they've established in the last couple of games. Plus, who knows what story they could use to frame the game? LOTRO only allows players to be on one "side", not to mention that they could allow the player to choose a side in the game rather than choosing during character creation. This has been a staple of the ES games and I can't see it being different in this one. Again, I hope that the SP property doesn't suffer from an MMO, but I don't see how this is necessarily doomed to failure or even mediocrity.

 I never noticed in game ads in Swat4. Why look, its just your everyday corner of an office building.  (Yeah for hosts file edits!) If they do it like this its annoying. The ad should blend in to where you don't really notice it like all the ads you walk by daily. Problem is they want it to pop out for people to notice. Even most TV ad placement is better than this. Normally, the ad is a prop and not in your face focus of the scene. You get a quick Apple ad by seeing the logo while they work on a computer. There aren't dozens of Apples logos in the shot and everyong standing in the scene isn't wearing an Apple shirt while eating apples and listening to their ipods. I would be annoyed by this pic, but K. Relly is my favorite artist! I'm playing CSI Hard Evidence right now and the pimpage for Visa is extermely over the top. There are also plugs for Chrysler and even Dyson vacuum cleaners.
