— Ace Do aliens live on Saturn's earth-ish moon Titan?
The spectacular decay of the abandoned city of Battleship Island, once the most densely populated urban area in the world, now a crumbling ruin.
I never heard of that before. All I can do is wonder why Hollywood doesn't make a lot of post-apocalytpic B-movies and cut down on expenses by just photographing the city as it is actually is, no special effects or set-dressing required.
I guess the answer is: Because most of the buildings there look like they're one 3-on-the-Richter-scale foot-tickler from toppling over.
Thanks to ArthurK (who posted the Titan item in the sidebar) and EdwardR.
And... "The Expendables," a movie which actually doesn't look all that interesting -- except I need to see The Expendables to appreciate The Making of The Expendables featurette that'll be on the DVD, which should be really interesting.
Thanks to rdbrewer for that.
Now It Can Be Revealed: Everyone in TV shows and movies reads the exact same edition of the exact same newspaper.
EdwardR. suggests a RedEye "Pinch" joke... but I can't think of one.

“This is Jakie Knotts trying to let the people know,” he said about his motivations for leveling the inflammatory charges against a minority Republican frontrunner for governor just days before the June 8 primary elections. He says he’s called her a raghead before.
How's that for yummy? A big, fat, old, southern racist named "Jakie."

Holy shit, is this for real? Stallone, Statham, Rourke, Willis and Schwarzenegger in the same movie?
I think I just creamed a little in my BVD's

Also that deserted and ruined city is totally awesome. It is just like the people all disappeared one day leaving their things behind. OK, maybe that isn't awesome, maybe that's scary...

Yeah unless you're a smoker, then not so much.

I have my sequel to Avatar already written, thanks for that.

Heh. Yeah. I just noticed the cast. Now that I look at the apparant story, it's a little lame. But I'll watch it for the cast.

The Expendables really looks like a throwback action movie. Explosions, gun, really thin plot, clear bad guys that must be killed, and a whole bunch of snarky one liners.
In other words it could be the best movie Hollywood has put out in years that isn't based on a comic book.

Knowing how deeply offended our Islamofacist pals are by lady-bits (preferring the venerable goat-bits or the occasional doggy-bits), I think we may have to oblige at some point.

Oh wait, you mean Saturn's moon?
Anyway, I'd like to see some of these supposed microbes. Since we don't know all the processes going on on Titan's surface, there's other possible explainations for the lack of acetylene on Titan's surface.
