the real problem with midichlorians, Space Invaders movie, Blockbuster has one foot in the grave: leftover links

Sat, Mar 06, 2010

Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But there’s no reason to let thias stuff go to waste: I can still share it with you, for your amusement, and start the new week with a clean slate.

Herewith this week’s leftover links, in no particular order:

Just wanted to give you a heads up that all the links from “Video Game Incursion” on down are broken.

Enjoyed the unemployed Spider-Man story though, after I figured out what the correct address was. :)

Space Invaders Movie and Futurama news in the same blogpost summarization?

Only one thing to say about that.

DROP DOWN AND INCREASE SPEED!!!!

Ah, good old Space Invaders. Anyone else ever waste a nostalgic half-hour on this?

Also: The AICN announcement about the movie included this music video, which is giving me serious ’80s flashbacks.

The article is correct: The mystery behind “The Force” vs. the mystery behind “LOST Island” are two completely separate things. We didn’t need, ask for, or require an explanation for The Force; it was “explained” in it’s way and there was never a mystery built up behind it. On the other hand, there are mysteries abound in LOST and every question is answered with a question. Deliberately.
