• Wow, dude from Domi­nos is straight-up hard-core Catholic, baby. Watch your tail, Chick-fil-a.
• Steam­punk Trans­form­ers, with art by… Ted McK­eever?! Isn’t that sort of like hir­ing David Lynch to direct G.I. Joe?
• Mickey is now a one-button mouse.
• My difficult-to-pronounce boy from Philly is cer­tainly a big-spender.
• This is simul­ta­ne­ously fas­ci­nat­ing and enrag­ing. I sym­pa­thize with par­ents who don’t have time to keep up with pop­u­lar cul­ture and need an unbi­ased infor­ma­tion source to judge for them­selves whether or not a movie is appro­pri­ate for their kids, but I don’t think this is it. Who are these peo­ple? Who appointed them? I’m wor­ried they are indi­rectly cen­sor­ing films, under the guise of inform­ing par­ents. It’s about the chil­dren, you understand.
• Let’s see, what did we get out of Apple’s lat­est extravaganza:
  • iPod Hi-Fi: No doubt a fun toy for flush audiofiles, but kinda use­less for a New York City apartment-dweller like myself.
  • Mac Mini: Take out the video card, add a remote con­trol, and it costs $100 more? Although to be totally hon­est, I must admit I don’t really under­stand what a video card does. While the whole con­cept of a Mac media cen­ter thingie on my TV sounds really neat, the price hike com­pletely soured it for me.
  • Leather iPod Case: insanely over­priced cow-flesh sleeve with no access to the face. In other words, it’s designed specif­i­cally to scratch your iPod. I just have to join in the cho­rus here: What were they think­ing?
• Thank good­ness that dur­ing the phe­nom­e­nal cat­a­stro­phe that was Kat­rina, Bush was watch­ing a lot of tele­vi­sion and ask­ing a lot of good ques­tions.
• Absolute Sand­man. Darn. Guess I wasted my time and money track­ing down those first-edition hard­cov­ers on eBay…
