    why are you guys hating a movie that you haven't seen yet?

    One of my super powers is that I know if something sucks / rocks without having to experience it.

    I tend to disagree that this is an impossible thing. If I can't judge something without having experienced it in it's entirety, then you're arguing that it is not in fact possible to make an informed choice about which content to consume beforehand?

    You can make a somewhat informed choice and it gets more informed the more research you do, but in practice not only can we not approach 100% certainty, I think we can maybe do, like, 80% at best. God knows I have just in the past month talked to a ton of people who were astonished by how much they enjoyed Cabin in the Woods.

    It is possible I am confusing the normal circumstance, where I can point out several things I dislike about something, or dislike in presentation, and the person doesn't actually refute them or explain how it's not actually like that, they simply say "you can't judge it without seeing it".

    And that is the story of how I ended up seeing Avatar. Though it did make me realize just how gimmicky 3D cinema really is.

    I'm confused by your phrasing.

    "I can judge X and Y without experiencing them in their entirety. Because of this ability, I am able to make an informed choice between X and Y without having to fully experience X and Y. If this were not the case, then I would only be able to make informed choices after I had fully experienced both X and Y."

    Are those words akin to your words?

    @Jacobkosh You want Torchlight?

    oh, uh, sure!

    why do you have it/are giving it away?
    Yeah, I've got a copy my buddies and I got for buying a four-pack of Torchlight II. You're one of the few people on my friends list who doesn't have it.

    cool, ok! thank you! I've been curious about it.

    If there's one thing I'm certain you won't see in any adaptation of Ender's Game, it's the nudity. I'm sure they'll even figure it out for the shower scene.

    Yeah. I'm grateful for my super power. It has enabled me to avoid seeing many, many shitty movies.

    The movie theaters it is shown in will be crushed under the blatant, heavy-handed political and religious messages anyway.

    Man, I really hope the Cloud Atlas film will be good. If nothing else, seeing Hugh Grant playing a Korean slaveowner should be entertaining.

    I finish the book this month!

    (I'm quickly losing grasp on any 'if all goes well' qualifiers; even the clubs that yield enough info to write on are petering out on storylines. I still need to do due diligence and make sure I'm not missing anything, but there doesn't look to be that much more to miss. ETA remains close of business on the 25th.)

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    Every day on my way to work, I see a lollypop lady helping kids across the road. However she is doing so at a pedestrian crossing, making her entirely redundant. This makes me a little sad inside every day.
