I'm in the process of ordering semi-transparent plastic business cards for my boss. A whole new universe that Patrick Bateman never even dreamed of. (I have to confess that I was quite impressed when I first saw one of these).

My Uncle had those once and they were beautiful.

As a fan of 2D fighters I can't really agree. For me console games peaked with the Dreamcast, nothing will ever come close to that gaming machine.  :)

My new pet peeve is Netflix. I had to send back Bad Santa because the disc wouldn't play, usually I don't have problems with bad discs but this is the third time in the past month I've received a damaged disc from them.

I hate that. I've yet to watch Mad Max for that very reason. I also wasn't able to revisit Minority Report recently. :(

Your problem is you need to just go buy Minority Report

anyone who needs to buy Minority Report definitely has a problem  ;D
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Tell me about it, they don't let you cross over their bridge unless you sing them a song.

They need to understand that you can cross Abbey Road and spend a Night on Bald Mountain.
