| Elais | hey matt |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | new Smallville tonight, I believe |
| MattH | Yep |
| MattH | Mixed feelings about it - from the spoilers, Red K is involved. |
| Elais | yeah, Red K is such a deux ex machina on this show |
| MattH | So far we have seen Red, Green and Black... |
| Elais | were you affected by that train crash today? |
| MattH | I think it screwed up some of the subway traffic into work - it was much heavier this morning, but other than that, no. |
| Elais | I'm waiting for pink krytonite to show up |
| MattH | The only other types I recall from my childhood are X-kryptonite and gold... |
| Elais | idiot was trying to commite suicide but changed his mind |
| MattH | So he lived? |
| MattH | And 9 other people died? |
| Elais | I think so |
| MattH | He may just be eligible for the death penalty... I am not sure about CA law though. |
| Elais | didn't they execute a guy recently? |
| MattH | Yep...don't recall who...it is still pretty rare in CA, though. |
| Elais | yeah, CA doesn't hold a candle to Texas |
| MattH | Yup...Scott Peterson was sentenced to death, but I don't recall any really newmaking crimes in CA for a while. |
| MattH | In other news, the CA Secretary of State may be up on sexual harassment charges. |
| Elais | who is the current SoS? |
| MattH | Kevin Shelley |
| Elais | trying to compete with Arnie in the groping contest? |
| MattH | Well...this was stuff done while he was in the SoS position, apparently too subordinates. Also claims that promotional tests were doctored. http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/12135296p-13005501c.html |
| MattH | Just skimming throught the State Personnel Board board report on the subject...it is 86 pages...which is rather small for a CA gov. doc. |
| Elais | I'm not exactly gonna skim even one page *g* |
| Elais | interested in the Superbowl this year? |
| MattH | Somewhat, but I have only watched one football game all year. |
| MattH | Rooting for the Patriots, though |
| Elais | I'm rooting for the Eagles, only because they seem to be the underdogs |
| Elais | wow..I didn't even recognize Lionel |
| MattH | Hard to believe that only a few years ago, the idea of the Patriots making it to the Superbowl would have been unthinkable. Now they are the favorites. |
| MattH | Watching Smallville as opposed to Lost? |
| Elais | Lost is a rerun |
| MattH | Gotcha...nice timing, that. |
| Elais | Lionel looks pretty good in short hair |
| Elais | short hair=good...long hair=evil? |
| MattH | Nah...he is still evil |
| Elais | and Clark gets the Red K |
| MattH | It would be nice to have Clark do something bad without it.... |
| Elais | never happen |
| Elais | although it has been argued that Clark has been an asshole many a time |
| MattH | Not quite the same thing as robbing a bank... |
| Elais | heh |
| Elais | Chloe apparently slept with Jimmy Olsen |
| * MattH gags |
| MattH | Ack! Thppt!! |
| Elais | Chloe and Lana were talking about 'first times' |
| MattH | Hmmm...that make Jimmy Olsen a contemporary of Clark's...in the comics, he is (my guess) at least 5-6 years younger. |
| MattH | Or Chloe is in to cradle robbing... |
| Elais | looks like Clark might be getting some tonight |
| MattH | Hmmm... have you read Larry Niven's "Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex" |
| Elais | yup |
| MattH | I think it has warped my mind - it always pops into my head whenever Clark has any even mildy sexual interactions with other people. |
| MattH | What's worse - I reread it and think of all its logic holes....I am such a geek. |
| Elais | it looks like Clark doesn't get any after all |
| MattH | Eh...no surprise.... |
| MattH | This isn't Buffy, after all... |
| Elais | was Superman a virgin in the original comics? |
| MattH | Please....in the original comics...sex didn't exist...gender...but no sex ;-) |
| MattH | He married Lois in a couple of AU comics, though. |
| MattH | And met time-travelling descendants or some such. |
| Elais | so hat least he got lucky in the AU universe |
| Elais | do you watch the Justice League cartoon? |
| MattH | Sometimes. |
| Elais | I saw the latest one last week |
| Elais | Batman/Wonder Woman/ Green Lantern in the old west |
| Elais | it's a two-parter..next week it's back to the future! |
| MattH | Was it any good? I find the JLA series to be a mixed bag at best. |
| Elais | it was relatively good |
| Elais | the next ep is way into the future...Batman will meet the batman from 'Batman Beyond' series, I think |
| MattH | I liked the individual Batman and Superman series much better than the JLA one... |
| MattH | Hmmm...that way lies Paradox. |
| Elais | I thought I spotted an middle-aged Static Shock |
| Elais | JLA is hit and miss |
| Elais | the problem this year is too many superheroes and only 23 or so minutes per ep |
| MattH | Yeah...and I dislike most DC heroes...I much prefer the Marvel set... |
| Elais | I picked up two comics last week |
| Elais | She-Hulk and the Spider-man/Human Torch mini-series |
| MattH | Any good? |
| Elais | She-Hulk was okay |
| Elais | Spiderman/Human Torch was a hoot |
| Elais | the story is when they are teenagers |
| Elais | so it's got a bit of the 'old school' look to it |
| MattH | Hmmm....I have always liked Torch/Spidey interactions. |
| Elais | it runs five issues, I think |
| Elais | If they do a third Spider-man movie, I hope they put in some of Spideys trademark snark |
| MattH | I'm sure there will be a third...don't know about the Snark though. |
| Elais | that was one of the reasons I liked Spider-man |
| Elais | the humor |
| MattH | Not sure who the villain would be... Kingpin would be nice. |
| MattH | Just like Buffy....I miss the puns most of all. |
| Elais | Kingpin would be good |
| Elais | Hobglobin is another one |
| Elais | maybe Venom |
| MattH | Hobgoblin - kind of rendundant... I am unsure how they would change Venom's origin |
| Elais | wasn't Jonas son an astronaut? |
| MattH | Yep |
| Elais | that's one way to bring Venom in |
| MattH | Yeah...but IIRC the costume was created by an alien device in Secret Wars and is essentially the real villain. |
| Elais | I thought the costume was an alien in itself |
| MattH | Yes... |
| MattH | But it popped out of a machine in the planet in secret wars |
| Elais | they can ignore the Secret Wars stuff |
| Elais | have the symbiote hitch a ride back to earth |
| Elais | of course, I'm not writing the script *g* |
| Elais | so what the hell do I know |
| MattH | I suppose...venom never did much for...the key thing though is that it was Spider-Man's costume first... |
| Elais | yeah...that's the tricky part |
| Elais | Drew Goddard wrote tonight's ep of Alias |
| MattH | Strangely enough, I can't recall that many other memorable Spider-Man villains...Mysterio, the Mole-Men, Hydro-Man |
| MattH | Excellent |
| Elais | Goblin and Doc Ock are certainly the classic ones |
| Elais | II wonder how good Fantastic Four will be? |
| MattH | My guess....bad....I just have a bad feeling... ;-) |
| Elais | the only casting choice i liked was for the Thing |
| Elais | I might go because Julian McMahon is playing Dr. Doom |
| MattH | As we saw with Spider-Man...it can be hard playing a Villain in an iron mask. |
| Elais | Darth Vader was pretty good |
| MattH | Yeah...much of that is due to James Earl Jones' voice...he made a great Thulsa Doom, too. |
| MattH | Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman?!? |
| MattH | Ouch.... |
| Elais | yeah |
| Elais | wasn't impressed with the choice for Mr. Fantastic |
| Elais | don't know who've the got for Storm |
| MattH | Julian McMahon? Never seen him in anything, so I have no opinion. Jessica Alba, while cute, just can't act. |
| Elais | Julian was in Charmed for a couple years |
| Elais | he's one of the stars of Nip/Tuck |
| Elais | I think he was on the Profiler for a year or two |
| Elais | FF might be the first movie he's done |
| MattH | According to IMDB, he was in one called "Meet Market" |
| Elais | is that a new one? |
| MattH | Said it was out in 2004. Elizabeth Berkeley had the top credit. |
| Elais | that is not good |
| Elais | wow, final five eps of NYPD Blue |
| MattH | How many seasons does that make? It seems like it has been around forever. |
| Elais | gosh, I don't know |
| Elais | more than five |
| Elais | tv tome lists 12 seasons |
| Elais | it has been around forever |
| MattH | That is a lot...I saw one episode and just wasn't interested. |
| Elais | I'm a little shocked myself that it has been around that long |
| Elais | I've never been a regular watcher |
| MattH | I've never been into cop shows...I always preferred the second half of Law&Order to the first. |
| Elais | Trial by Jury starts in March, I think |
| MattH | IMDB still has Jerry Orbach listed at the top....be hard to watch the eps with him in it. |
| MattH | Especially as I just found out a co-worker has esophageal cancer.... |
| Elais | yeah, I lost interest in watching L&O a long time ago |
| Elais | but Jerry was the best |
| MattH | I still like the show, if/when I catch it...but it has never been "must see" for me. |
| Elais | I tend to watch SVU these days |
| MattH | Eh....never cared for any of the spin-offs |
| MattH | L&O is a little over-exposed these days. |
| Elais | L&O/CSI |
| Elais | then keep sending in the clones |
| MattH | Heh...why couldn't they do that with Buffy? ;-) |
| Elais | Slayers: The Next Generation? |
| MattH | Yeah or "Spike - The Other Vampire With A Soul" ;-) |
| MattH | Maybe Xander in "This Haunted House" as opposed to Bob Villa in "This Old House" |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | Willow: Charmed Again |
| MattH | Hmmm...Oz could move to Australia..."An American Werewolf Down-Under" |
| Elais | perfect! |
| Elais | I really wished they could have moved forward with the possible Ripper series |
| MattH | Same here...or the animated series. |
| MattH | TV just isn't the same. |
| Elais | speaking of tv |
| Elais | gotta go |
| Elais | Project Runway is on! |
| MattH | Ok...have a good one. See you next week. |
| Elais | have a good weekend Matt |
