- I still can't get the loss of Dr. Richards out of my mind. WVSU would be very smart to set up some sort of memorial for him... say, rename Hill Hall.

- 4 million new jobs with the upcoming administration? We'll see. I'd consider a fraction of that a success.

- Christopher Nolan's trend of silence on "Batman 3" is bordering on the absurd. There's a point when building anticipation is replaced by tomfoolery.
Yet, if it will keep in the business of making great films Batman related... I'll take it.

- There's nothing like a good airhorn. Nothing. Seeing or hearing an airhorn always brings a smile to my face. And it scares the everloving crap out of everyone in its path. I'm just juvenile that way...
... tee, hee. I need to buy another one.

- I recently watched "The Black Cat" (1934). It's good. Not the best Lugosi work, but a very good one.

"Supernatural" is quickly shooting up the chart of my favorite TV show list. Rarely have I seen such care given into a storyline, and executed so efficiently. I highly recommend watching it from the beginning. If I had to rank my favorite TV shows, it'd go something like this...
1. Batman: The Animated Series
2. Married With Children
3. Supernatural
4. Justice League
5. Smallville/Pinky and the Brain

- As for Smallville...
...put Clark in the damned cape already. How many more pre-Superman stories can be told? I hear Tom Welling has signed for Season 9. In that case, give us a whole season of Tom Welling as Superman. Isn't one of Superman's many nicknames "Smallville?"
Smallville was one of the reasons why I started to actually like the character of Superman. He's fought off every 'B' villain imaginable. We've seen the Justice League. We've seen Doomsday and Brainiac.
Either bring in Darkseid or put him in the cape. Now.

- Why do I get the feeling that if Fox gets a hold of Watchmen, they'll turn it into PG-13? Though I stipulate Fox had merit in its case, I consider the timing more than suspicious. The whole DC vs. Marvel (WB vs. Fox) thing may have its first casualty. I have never read the graphic novel, but know the story. The fanbase is going to be pissed. I can't imagine a PG-13 Watchmen. It's a bit like the Schumacher/Batman films.

- By the way, bigotry is not indicative of a political party. I'd just like to clear that up. Pricks are pricks, and they come in all shapes and forms.

- I actually picked up the pages again of one of the worst books I've ever read... Benn's "China's Golden Age." I saw it on my shelf, thinking... "it can't possibly be this bad." Much like an Alzheimer's patient, I tried reading it again. I made it through 3 pages, and that was because I was trying.
Only history freaks like me would do such a thing. It sucked when it was required reading as an undergrad, and it sucks even harder still. I have rarely read such boring and suffocatingly dull dribble. I had fun more picking at my fingernails.
Smack the reader, arrest the author.

Why do so many history books suck? Crane Brinton and Robert Dallek don't suck. It is possible not to suck.
