Back from the dead due to DVD release yesterday

Even though it's a "Collector's Edition" it fells kinda light. I've been told Wal-Mart's version is packed with an extra disc with some kind of documentary on it.
The menus definatley fit in theme-wise but they're nothing too exciting. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the Star Wars dvd menus.
Has 2 deleted scenes which were not very interesting, IMO. And one of them was unfinished blue screen and animatics.
The behind the scenes/making of documentary stuff is great, but I'm a geek like that and will usually eat that up. It's interesting to see how they went from a 6 minute short (included on dvd) to getting top name actors and a budget.
And fyi: it does come in wide and full screen formats, so check it before you get it.

Seeing it again makes me sad that it didn't do so well in the theatres. I was really hoping this was going to kickstart a new generation of (good) pulp inspired movies.

One of my favorite things to do was amass as many vehicles in as small a space as possible and start a chain reaction of exploding vehicles. Any cruisers that happened to be nearby were an added bonus  

Also:

Gov. Matt Blunt (MO) banned video games from the state's prisons Monday, a month after a newspaper reported some of Missouri's most violent inmates were allowed to play games simulating murders, carjackings and the killings of police officers.

Last year's winner did a performance of Summertime, from Porgy and Bess, that blew my socks off.

Ugh! For a show that says it looks for original acts, Fantasia sounds way too much like Macy Gray to me. And I can't stand Macy, I just do not like that grating voice.

The official trailer is also up now. I have to say from the split second of viewable Doom, he doesn't look too bad.

I have seen it...more than a few times due to it running on cable. Great cast, meh movie. Not the worst film I've ever seen.

That actually was a comic first, wasn't it?

Or maybe it's the fact that we're so traumatized by the sub-par ones that they stand out more.
