Next Step In Squid Domination Of World Complete

They're evolving elbows. We are doomed. ELBOWS! -- Shane Ivey, panicking appropriately

It is the end of you monkey-men's rule! All hail my squiddy brethren as we seize power with our mighty suckers! Long live the rule of the head foot! -- RevolutionSF staff writer Sneezy the Squid, whom we thought we befriended in anticipation of this day

Valentine, Show About Greek Gods, Canceled Like They Were Norse

Valentine was on the patchwork abomination channel called The CW, but now the network bought the time back from the show's makers, thereby disappointing 835,000 viewers, who probably hit the wrong number on the remote on the way to The Simpsons. At least we will always have my wonderful review.

Which just goes to show, if you want a crappy TV show done right, you have to do it yourself.

Actor Not In Terminator 4 Says It Probably Won't Be Any Good Anyway

Josh Brolin is not in the next Terminator, Terminator Salvation.. He says he almost was in it, and he "really liked the script thought I hear that's not what they filmed."

Then he said Christian Bale told him the movie is "alright." Brolin didn't adjust for Bale's perspective. He's Batman. No other movie is Batman, so everything drops down a notch. Christian Bale's "alright" is everyone else's "awesome."

Elijah Wood Blabbers About Some Cartoon With Rag Dolls Or Something

Elijah Wood will be in a cartoon movie called 9, and he attempted to describe it. He said it's about dolls who "kind of have the soul of humanity in them." And "it's a totally different kind of experience."

What happened there? Wood obviously forgot the standard movie-description formula: "Movie You've Heard Of" combined with "Other Movie You've Heard Of."

This sounds like Terminator combined with Toy Story. How hard was that? I should be a rich hobbit.
