Curse you Eli you beat the rest of the internet to it, hahahaha.... :-D Congratulations you guys.

Joel you are my hero for following your dreams and doing a job that brings you joy as well as lighting up the lives of your readers. Best wishes for a speedy recovery dude, I also hope we get the gang back behind the mics before too long.

Financially Raped

Hell yeah ExoSquad!!! Someone should also make a MechWarrior movie. Remember the animated series with the CG battle scenes? The future war will be fought on a giant lime green grid.

That is a rad rendering of the prawn Joel. Looks awesome!

What adaptation would you take back (blast out of existence) if you could?

Bad TV adaptations of films kind of work for this week's theme (Stargate anybody?), but I'm also thinking of bad video game-movies or vice-versa, or bad comic-movies, bad tv-novelisations...etc.

Also, does anyone know or give a hoot about Sons of Anarchy on FX? I haven't seen it but from what I hear its a show about a biker gang starring Ron Perlman (with Katey Sagal as his old lady!) and it acts out Shakespeare storylines. Certainly sounds interesting.

Omar rocks pretty hard. He robs people by accident. So many great characters in that series - Bubbles, Bunk, McNulty the ultimate Irishman. Ah good times.

I recently finished watching HBO's Generation Kill, which I recommend to everyone, and it got me thinking about the fictionalisation or adaptation of war as entertainment.

Do you have any all-time favourite war movies or TV series? Also, which war has given us the most entertaining/compelling fictions? Obviously WW2 has arguably the largest amount of stuff made about it anywhere, but there are many classic Vietnam films as well as a lot of new stuff being made about the wars in Iraq. And then there's the Cylons..."Ah those assholes, don't get me stahted on tha Cylahns..."

PRESIDENT OBOSBY IN 2012!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

What would be your Make A Wish Foundation-style ultimate wish? If it were guaranteed to happen and you had nothing to lose what would you do, where would you go, and who would you hand out with while doing it?
