| Elais | heyas matt |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | wonder how good/bad smallville will be tonight? |
| MattH | Hopefully, btetter than last week. |
| Elais | starting off with watching Lost |
| Elais | looks like I'm going to miss out on the second Serenity screenig |
| MattH | There is a second screening? I haven't been paying attention. |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | and it's all sold out, of course |
| Elais | http://www.cantstopthesignal.com |
| MattH | I was planning on waiting for the main release. |
| Elais | most of the cities sold out before midday, I think |
| Elais | the tix were up for sale in the morning and all were gone by the day's end |
| Elais | I think there were a few enterprising folks who bought blocks of tickets and started selling them on ebay |
| MattH | I wonder if that will cut it in to opening day box office sales when it enters main released. |
| Elais | hard to say |
| Elais | most of the people attending the screenings are heavy fans already, I expect |
| MattH | Yep |
| Elais | not sure if the 'general public' will be interested |
| Elais | I managed to find a in-depth spoiler for what happens in the movie |
| Elais | so I can easily wait until it hits the big screen |
| Elais | my main worry is that it might not get to my city |
| MattH | I think it is actually going to do quite well. Just a hunch |
| Elais | don't think it will get 'Revenge of the Sith' like numbers |
| Elais | but it should do alright |
| MattH | Yeah...it might even end up back on the small screen...which would be weird ;-) |
| Elais | I think if the movie does well, there would be movie sequels |
| Elais | I will be very surprised if it becomes a tv show again |
| MattH | I could see it happening, but not on the same network...maybe the Sci-Fi channel. |
| Elais | hmm, Smallville seems to be more interesting than Lost |
| MattH | So, does that mean it is a really bad Lost or a really good Smallville? |
| Elais | gosh, I'm not sure |
| Elais | two mediocre eps, but Smallville is less mediocre than Lost |
| Elais | damning with faint praise ;-) |
| MattH | More like praising with faint damns... ;-) |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | did you celebrate mother's day? |
| MattH | I called my mother...that was about it. |
| Elais | went to my mother's house |
| Elais | my sister cooked up a Sunday brunch |
| Elais | it was pretty darn good |
| MattH | I would have done that, but she lives about 350 miles away... :( |
| Elais | mine lives on 30 miles away |
| MattH | That makes it a lot easier to go over for Mother's Day |
| Elais | when is your D&D starting up again? |
| MattH | The 23rd...still got a lot to do. |
| Elais | I'm also a lot closer to the nagging ;-) |
| Elais | Run like the Wind Lex! |
| MattH | What brought that on? |
| Elais | just commenting on Smallville |
| Elais | Jason and Genevieve captured Lex and Lionel |
| Elais | but they managed to escape |
| MattH | Genevieve? Can't Lionel poison anyone effectively? |
| Elais | guess not |
| MattH | I mean, first Lex lives, and now Genevieve... |
| Elais | Jason fought with Lex and fell off a cliff |
| MattH | Did we actually see Jason hit the bottom? If not, he is hanging from a tree branch.... |
| Elais | I saw water splashing |
| Elais | don't know if we'll see a body later |
| MattH | Oh...he got away that way, then... |
| Elais | oh well |
| Elais | the point is that Jason is gone |
| MattH | He'll be back. |
| Elais | okay, now for Alias! |
| Elais | oh good, Joel Gray is in this ep |
| MattH | Does he have a long, snaky tongue? |
| Elais | nope |
| Elais | but's just as creepy |
| Elais | heh |
| Elais | attack of the bees! |
| MattH | Well, as long as he isn't sacrificing cute girls.... |
| Elais | no, but he just sacrificed a bunch of monks |
| Elais | some who were very attractive |
| MattH | Eh... |
| Elais | how is work? |
| MattH | Busy - the boss was away for Monday and Tuesday, but still a lot of work |
| Elais | I'm moderately busy |
| Elais | not swamped, but not twiddling my thumbs |
| Elais | damning with faint praise again |
| MattH | Old vendor still holding the companies data |
| MattH | ? |
| Elais | nope |
| Elais | we got our stuff back |
| Elais | but we have limited access to do stuff |
| Elais | which is fine |
| Elais | I saw Hitchhikers' last Saturday |
| MattH | And? |
| Elais | not bad |
| Elais | I wasn't blown away by it, but It didnt' suck either |
| Elais | damning with faint praise for the third time! |
| MattH | So would you recommend it? |
| Elais | yes |
| MattH | To non-Hitchikers fans? |
| Elais | to them as well |
| Elais | I spotted some reference to the tv version of Hichhikers back in the day |
| MattH | Hmm...seems that the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem doesn't prove it after all. http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2005/may/05/yehey/top_stories/20050505top4.html |
| Elais | wow...that should be front page news! |
| MattH | Well....I think so. |
| MattH | The proof made Nightline and there was PBS (IIRC) special on it. |
| Elais | yeah, I seem to remember some special PBS show on that |
| Elais | but I don't watch Nightline |
| MattH | I stayed up for that one, but I generally don't watch. |
| Elais | Ted Koppel is leaving Nightline right? |
| MattH | Yep |
| Elais | I gather that the show will go as well |
| MattH | Probably... |
| Elais | Nightline without Koppel is like cream without cheese |
| MattH | Cream without cheese is actual richer and sweeter... |
| Elais | okay, peanut without the butter |
| MattH | How about chocolate without sugar? |
| Elais | I''ll go with that |
| Elais | good ep of Alias |
| MattH | Hmmm...that wasn't faint praise....the streak has ended... ;-) |
| Elais | LOL |
| Elais | I haven't been wowed by anything on tv in a long time |
| MattH | Yeah - a couple of the new Dr Who eps were wow-worthy, but nothing I've seen on US TV |
| Elais | I heard the Dalek one was a good one |
| MattH | Mostly...a little too PC towards the end. |
| MattH | The best ep so far was the third "The Unquiet Dead" with Charles Dickens |
| Elais | that sounds like a good one |
| MattH | It was ...very written and earie |
| Elais | not so much with the action? |
| MattH | Hmmm...yet another cover (for the Deluxe Edition) of the HBP has been released. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/05/hbpdeluxecover.html |
| MattH | There was action and violence and things being blown up...but in a well-written and earie way. ;-) |
| Elais | hard to read the title other than Harry Potter |
| Elais | but the cover is nice |
| MattH | Yeah...the trees are what people are talking about...they guess it means Dumbledore & Harry go into the Forbidden Forest. |
| MattH | I like it the best of all the covers I've seen for HBP |
| Elais | no one is commenting on what Harry is wearing? |
| MattH | Not that I've seen..but I have only read a few so far. |
| MattH | But there are 258 comments on the Leaky Cauldron...I've barely started reading. |
| MattH | Hmmm...some people are commenting on the clothes..thinking they are pajamas (maybe) |
| Elais | I would assume it is a nightgown |
| MattH | Hmmm...maybe |
| Elais | nightgown equals nighttime |
| MattH | Another 65 days until the book comes out though. |
| Elais | little over two months |
| MattH | Yep...I can hardly wait |
| MattH | Could be a scene from a Pensieve too... |
| MattH | Anyway, I have to go...got to collect my laundry, read some fanfic, and watch Smallville. |
| Elais | sounds like an exciting night |
| MattH | For me. See you next week |
| Elais | it would be exciting for me as well |
| Elais | see you next week as well, Matt |
