Yeah, right, every woman will tell you that it doesn't, because they know you want to here that. But they make fun of your small and tiny URLs when you don't hear it.
Cinescape is reporting today that the first trailer for STAR WARS, EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH will debut in theaters on November 5th in front of prints for THE INCREDIBLES. But considering the length of the movie and how many other trailers are vying for time in front of the film, it's not guaranteed the ROTS trailer will run before all showings of THE INCREDIBLES.
Today I recognized, that this page obviously doesn't look that well in Internet Explorer. It wasn't my PC, so I have no idea what version of IE it was. I think it was some kind of XP running.
Do you know Ron Gilbert? Monkey Island? - Okay. So, here is an interview with that guy, that left LucasArts while production on Monkey Island 2, to make learning-games for little children and ruined our lives. We, that will be me and a friend of mine, who were Ron Gilbert Fans. There were more LucasArts games we enjoyed later, but we both were sure, that the MI series would have been much better, if Ron hadn't left the company.
The german news site Spiegel Online reported that the german version of Big Brother is building a own city for the Big Brother candidates. There will be stores and schools, where they can get a new graduation and live for the next years. They'd like to have families there and take people who are unemployed in the real world.
Always been annoyed that you can't download files from shared playlists in iTunes? Take a look at GetTunes. You select certain tracks from a shared Playlist in iTunes, then add them in the GetTunes application.

"Some guy on Amazon is selling Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) for $11.95, and says he'll ship it in 1-2 business days. Too bad Apple isn't releasing Tiger until mid-2005."
BSDvault will be closing down soon. They don't see the need for the site any longer. The project was formed 4 years ago, when information and help was not that easy to find. Right now there are not enough people helping administer the site and documentation.
Never read Linux Gazette before, but today I found a link at Root Prompt to an introduction to CVS. It's a bit short and not that much in detail, but it is, like the title says, just an introduction.
DVD Review took a sharp look on the upcoming Special Edition DVD of "Ed Wood", one of Tim Burton's best films. They tell you about some of the features and that the DVD is great. But they also say, that the really love "Ed Wood", so maybe you should do so, too. But, tell me, how couldn't ya?
More new goodies of "Revenge of the Sith" are available at R2D2 Menace. It's lots of artwork and pictures. And because some of you may want to think about taking a look at it because of the possible spoilage, I won't post anything here but tell you to look here, here and here.
I went to "The Ring" without knowing what it is all about and I really was fascinated. Many people hated that movie and told me that the original movies were the only good ones. Uhm, okay, I watched them and they were good, too. But it's always the same problem, when you see the wrong one first and like it already. You can't change your opinion about it that easy.
They have a beautiful dynamite clock at SpyMall. They gurantee this to be the most realistic and unique bomb clock that you will ever see. But it's kinda expensive with $125. And won't be shipped outside of the US. So what?
They have the description. Like they had those for Episode I and II, the Force.net has the description for the upcoming trailer online.
Through Boing Boing I found an article at LiveJournal where a girl tortures her Sims by trapping them in small room.
Harry from Ain't It Cool News got a picture mailed that probably might be the Episode III Teaser Poster. It seems to follow the thematics of the Prequel Teaser Poster campaign, where you can see the shadow of Darth Vader behind Anakin on the Tatooine wall.
Just a few hours ago, I discussed with nforcer if Harrison Ford will be casted as Indiana Jones in the fourth part again and now The Indy Experience gave us a hint: it points me at an report at Female First that says Harrison Ford has been given strict instructions by Steven Spielberg not to go crazy exercising for Indiana Jones 4.
Steve Ballmer said in an exclusive interview that "most common format of music on an iPod is 'stolen'."
As I read at The Indy Experience Steven Spielberg plans shooting Indy 4 at the beginning of 2005. He said that in an interview on the French TV channel Canal +. George Lucas has expressed hopes to begin production on Indiana Jones 4 next year and now Steven Spielberg has also expressed the same desire.
dTheatre has some news about a X-Men Wolverine SpinOff. Release date is not available yet, because the studio is going ahead with X-Men3 and Wolverine simultaneously. Hugh Jackman will be playing the title character, of course.
Okay, Sam and Max haven't been that fascinating like The Secret of Monkey Island, but it was one of the great adventures LucasArts made. While LucasArts now only produce Star Wars games and forget the adventure-fans the guys who were working on a new Sam and Max game have formed a new studio called Telltale Games. Now we just have to wait and hope, that there will be a good adventure to play in the future.
RootPrompt.org brought me to a Mac vs. PC contest. They tested a Dual 3GHz Xeon and Dual 2.5GHz Opteron during the next weeks and added the G5/2.5GHz MP Power Mac to the numbers they already had. And the G5 really is the "World's Fastest Personal Computer" in their categories right now.
Read at /. :"According to Reuters and some other sources the hole in the ozone layer shrank 20% this year to a mere 9 million square miles. Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about."
And more news on Star Wars again. (You must be thinking I am not interested in anything else anymore.) As I read on joblo.com there is an interview with USA Today where George Lucas mentioned the possibility of moving the franchise into tv territory, stating "ultimately, I'm going to probably move it into television and let other people take it…" The folks over at Inland Empire Strikes Back did some scooping and found out that Lucas may be thinking about handing over creative control of a possible tv series to Kevin Smith.
After I watched Star Wars: A new Hope on DVD tonight I recognized that Carrie Fisher really is amazing. So I looked for her data at imdb.com then and found an entry for a movie wich is in production right now and will be released in 2005: 5-25-77. Entitled as the date "A new Hope" came to a theatre near you - more than 25 years ago. Presented by the producer of Star Wars: Gary Kurtz - can't remember how often I read his name on my Star Wars movie posters.
If you are, you should go to the very first DEPPCON n the weekend of October 22-24 at the West Hollywood Hyatt in Los Angeles, California. A special convention dedicated to Johnny Depp. Johnny won't be able to be there himself, because he is shooting Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right now. But there will happen lots of other stuff, e.g. there will be a special screening of Ed Wood, as presented by the screenwriters of that film, Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander.
