The is the thread for off topic conversations, clip/quote/snarky comment of the day.

Took a look at Taken 2, cast, trailer, etc.  I have to say I'm really looking forward to it.  It's a little odd in that the villain is the goofy guy from Eurotrip, the guy in Bratislava who finally gives the kids a ride to Berlin, the one whose favorite new show is Miami Vice(he wasn't talking about the remake)

Of course, I know this man better as Boris the Bullet Dodger from snatch.  Good character actor, was even a homeless guy in Batman Begins.

Plot is fairly solid I think, at least looks like it has potential.  Marco's(guy he electrocutes) dad is out for revenge.

Now Avengers has been seen, this is my most anticipated movie of the year.  Oh, it is written by Luc Besson, who wrote the first one, and I do love Luc Besson movies.

I'm always up for Liam Neeson being awesome, so looks good to me.

June 29, 1967, Jayne Mansfield died in a car accident in Slidell Louisiana.

In 2003 on this day Katherine Hepburn died.

Each a loss in her own way.  2 stunning ladies.  We weep for more like them.  Or at least for those ladies we have to carry themselves a little more like these two prime examples of femininity.  Strong, proud, feminine.  Radiantly women without selling themselves short, or selling themselves as something they weren't.

so I just discovered something strange to me, slightly disturbing.

Mermeia Holographic Wow, from SW Christmas Special, was played by Diahann Carroll, who would later be a mainstay of Dynasty, yay, but who I know best as June from White Collar.

Who knew? For the record, this is her birthday. Happy birthday June!

Also Happy B-day to J. Michael Straczynski, writer of Babylon 5, Chief Girabaldi's b-day was yesterday, red-headed commander who took over after Boxleitner's b-day today.

Donald Sutherland turns older today.  And Phyllis Diller turns 95.  In '05 she wrote an autobiography entitled Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse.

Finally, Today is also the anniversary of the birth of one of the great thespians of our time.  An actor of such verve, passion, and machismo, only Germans can stand him.  Yes, like a fine wine, David Hasselhoff ages ever closer to perfection.  Or vinegar.

To celebrate, all characters in my game have a desire to run across a beach while wearing clothing to very obviously promote their best features.
