I think that really only applies to The Phantom Menace. The way they shot those movies, having a ton of CG monsters and things fit in and didn't look out of place.

I don't think that CGI has killed our suspension of disbelief. In movies where it is done well or not overly used, CGI can make it easier for us to suspend our disbelief, making the scene look more realistic. Really, a giant killer ape looks more realistic as a computer generated image then it does as a clay figure or a man in a suit. Too often however the CGI is too shiny or sticks out too much from it's real surroundings. If, like in Star Wars, everything is CGI and digital, then it actually is good. But in some movies, mediocre CGI just distracts you. When you see something in a movie for the first time, you shouldn't immediately be saying "Oh, that's CGI", but instead noticing the action or the character. Too often the CGI is overpowering and distracting.

The Panthers resigned Wade Belak. I wanted him to come back to us!

I'm more interested about the Ghostbusters news, really.

Bruce Boudreau did an amazing job in Washington, but Washington squeezed into the playoffs by winning the really weak division. Montreal was supposed to miss the playoffs just like the Capitals were supposed to, but they finish at the top of the Eastern Conference. Heck, I still look at the Montreal roster and don't see how that happened.

I'm not complaining about the chasing part, I just think there must have been a better way to actually get to it in the first place. You should be able to sneak up and kill them before they even notice Niko. Too bad that is not how it works.

That is total bad ass.

Montreal is out, and I have already seen people saying "Carbo has got to go!". Carbo is a huge reason why the team was so good during the regular season. They had a lot of young talent, and that is one reason why they struggled a bit in the post season. For Montreal, this is still a successful season. Entering the season, expectations were low. Entering the playoffs, expectations were high. Really, this is probably as far as this team was destined to go - next season they should be able to go further with the development of Price and the young players in front of him.

If Paul Maurice ends up unemployed when Toronto brings in a new general manager, can we bring back Pat Burns?

I like Jeff Carter more then Richards. If they keep both, the Flyers are set at center for a long long time.

All fans suck except for me and Clawson.

I think I jinxed Colorado and New York.

It costs $5 each way for me to go to the strip club, PLUS all the private dances I buy. Give me a break, eh?

This.

I didn't buy the hype for this game and really wasn't too interested in buying it. My brother got it though, and I watched him play for a bit. The first time he broke into a car, hot wired it and drove off, that amazed me and made me want to play.

Who really gives a shit who they chanted for or why? It's just plain old fun to yell "USA! USA! USA!" over and over! The Flyers need to win game four. If they don't, I think that Montreal takes the series.

My brother bought Mario Kart Wii, and I played it quickly with him. It's pretty fun, using that little wheel thing works better then I thought it would.

I bought Madden 08 that day it came out, but lost interest in it after about a month. I'm not a football fan, but I usually get from release to Christmas before losing interest, so Madden 08 just didn't do it for me. The re-introduction of proper commentary and TV style broadcasts has me interested.

I read an article somewhere about this game where they had an actual fitness instructor play through it and see what he thought of it. It got a good review from the fitness point of view.

I still think the Rangers are the better team and fully expect them to show it in game three.

With a win tonight, the Raptors can erase the awful start they had and make this a best-of-three against the Magic. They really looked terrible in the first two games but on home court turned it around.

"Sir, Koivu is injury prone." "That bastard beat cancer, so shut the fuck up about Koivu!"

Protest the Hero - Fortress

Actually, Cliff is under contract for another year already. They signed him to a 19 month contract with that idea in mind - if they don't find someone then they have Cliff, and if they do then they can use Cliff as an advisor. I think Dave Nonis would be a good candidate. He was doing exactly what we need in Toronto - building with young talent and not selling the farm to win now.

Frank Thomas is going back to Oakland. Also, I am already sick of the Blue Jays playing this way. They have this good offence on paper, but they continue to just be inconsistent at producing runs. It's really making it hard for me to watch.
