How much (if any) of the Olympics will be available on ESPN3?

And MetalCaveman gifted me this:

Also

I saw it too, and it was really good, though I felt like it kind of dragged in the middle.

There's plenty of other music they could have used that wouldn't be so recognizable though. Hell, there are companies that just make trailer music, you choose from their library to get the feel you want.

Done. Why the hell did they use music from the Lord of the Rings? It was really confusing for the first shots.

That post is entirely blank for me.

That logo is terrible, it makes it look like they spelled "Run" as "Wrun".

Oh man, that brings back memories of playing Starcraft 1 on a LAN late into the night

"No, this is your mask." Thank you, Captain Obvious. My wife didn't like Batman Begins the first time she saw it, said it was boring and confusing, and never watched it again until a couple nights ago (we're watching them in preparation for TDKR), but she actually found it interesting the second time around. Don't know what changed.

Well the process itself isn't any harder, until you take into account that there are 50 states now instead of 13, so you have to get 38 states to approve the change rather than only 10. Not to mention the fact that like Spork says it's so ingrained into our culture now that there would be massive amounts of resistance to repealing it. It's part of the original Bill of Rights, and therefore fairly sacrosanct.

@Thursday: the prevailing legal interpretation though is that "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state" is just their justification for the rule, and that only the second part really has legal effect. I agree that it's completely pointless in this day and age, unless they decide that it also protects your right to have a surface-to-air missile in your backyard and an anti-tank gun in the garage, but it says what it says and it's a bitch to change.

But it seems like every time a British comedy is remade in America it loses a lot of its uncomfortableness.

The reason it's still around is that it's really damn hard to change the constitution. And for some reason people are really hyper-paranoid about a police state, and think that the only thing preventing it from coming about is that they have their guns. And honestly I think that the second amendment is a large part of the reason people are so attached to owning guns: being part of the original bill of rights it's seen as a really core American value, so it's kind of reinforced itself. *Edit* - For the edification of those who don't know the process, in order to change the constitution one of two things must happen: 1) Congress passes a proposed amendment through both houses with at least a 2/3 majority. Then 3/4 of the state legislatures have ratify the proposed amendment. They could also use special state conventions instead of the normal state legislatures, but that's only been done once. 2) 2/3 of the state legislatures request Congress to call a constitutional convention to propose the amendment, then 3/4 of the states have to ratify the amendment.

I like both mindless action movies *and* deeper, more interesting movies.

Americans don't seem to like uncomfortable humor as much as you Brits do.

Did the shark explode at the end of that series clip? And if so, why? Nm, I'm guessing the Penguin rigged it with explosives to kill Batman. Because that makes sense.

Assuming you play it for more than 4 months, yeah it is.

Fo rizzle up in da hizzle it's Da Mighty Easel. The person below me don't want anybody else, when they think about you they touch theirself.

It does seem weird to label something "rotten" when more than half the reviews are positive. Maybe they need a third category...
