Hmm, that sucked. The whole server was down yesterday for some reason. We seem to be okay now, though.

And speaking of fixing stuff, the other day I watched Superman: The Movie in preparation for Superman Returns, and I was going to follow that up by reading the fiver (my version of the cigarette-after-sex habit). Imagine my surprise to find it wasn't linked! This cannot stand, so I've added the appropriate link to the Five-Minute Movies page. If you missed Scooter's fiver back in December, go check it out. Especially if you're planning to watch Superman Returns. The producers are clearly huge, huge fans of the original Donner film (understandably) -- they paid tribute to it almost excessively. And who cast Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane? She looks nothing like the comic or movie versions! It really took me out of --

Zeke's Better Judgment: This is turning into a LiveJournal post.

That's what we have 5M.net on LJ for.

Zeke's Better Judgment: No, that's what you have The Sixth Minute for, you just never use it.

(sigh) Don't you have anything better to judge?

Addressed here. Should be all better now.

Edit:

Hmmm. Further interesting reading here:

Just whatever you do, stay clear of his Bat'leth Judgment.

Thanks for the relink, Zeke. Yeah, the new movie references the Donner movie so much, it was like watching a 2.5-hour fiver. But I enjoyed it.

Your link also gave me a pretext for rereading Derek's Dark City fiver, which is mondo fab.
