Hey Chris, there is nothing wrong with an "explicit" tag. in some cases it is almost a promo!

[xombiekitty]

True, explicit can work in your favour at times, but we're trying to keep it clean... and you should know that can be a major battle for me

[darth_sully]

The bottle look sooooo suspect it's not funny, I kow I wont be getting this even though I a big Iron Man fan

[Grenge]

I heard you mentioned my comment on the show and I'm sort of glad that I didn't make the other comment I made elsewhere. I mentioned that I thought that Smith could end up being a better Doctor than Tennant.

So Chris, You mentioned that you can't get a movie ticket less than $12. Our local theater in Goulburn currently has tickets for only $7. My wife also recently got a book of ten tickets cheap, $40 for the book, so we get to see movies here for only $4. It was good when I went to the midnight screening of Star Wars Ep3 for $6 before they put the price up a whole dollar.

And the Iron Man fragrance........ Hmmmmmmm, It could have been worse, but not by much.

[ZenBubble]

Okay - I'm moving to Goulburn!

-Chris

[Grenge]

Don't rush. That is about all it has going for it.

[ambivalence]

When I arrived home at 10:30 last night I popped onto iTunes to download this so I could listen to it as I awoke at 3:45 this morning! Tell you what, it got me out of bed and for me that's saying something!

Intro: Richard Hatch - The podcast is silent for the first 20 seconds, I missed out on Hatch! I wondered why there was no introduction this time, although I initially thought I might have missed it due to kettle boiling (not the case). That said, I checked out the audio link of your main page and it plays fine there.

JD Sharpiro apologises - I remember anticipating Battlefield Earth so much I even brought a souvenir book they released; however, I never ended up seeing it. To this day I cannot recall why, but I must catch it one day just to see if it lived up to my youthful anticipations. Somehow I suspect not.

New Godzilla film - Love all the Godzilla and Gamera films, I have them all through various forms of video, VCD, and DVD. I almost, so very almost, brought the Japanese release all all the films in a Godzilla Final Box Set along side Godzilla's head. As the discs were Japanese only without subtitles, and quite expensive plus postage, I did not buy. I regret that choice though, one day I will buy this if I can ever find it again. So yeah, pumped about this as I doubted we would see another Godzilla film after the last one. Strange, but I would be more interested in seeing a sequel to the American one. I loved that film, Godzilla barely destroyed anything, the Americans blew it all up themselves!

Scream 4 (& 5) - Should be good as I loved the first two; I am glad so many of the originals will be returning, rather than just recasting as seems to be the trend.

Smurfs minus Tarantino - Shame, although the film will still be fan-smurfing-tastic.

Supanova - Shall be at the Melbourne one, promoting the DWCV wearing Timelord robes! And in case you are wondering, I have no shame!

Star Trek - I would have gone to this if it were local, I am quite interested in hearing Ethan Phillips and Rene Auberjonois. Denise Crosby would be good value too. Not sure why, but I am not really fussed with classic or TNG guests; I am more a DS9/Voy enthusiast.

Iron Man scent - I guess Iron Man does come across as a bit of a w***er at times...

Esslack Midas Touch - I cannot see any practical application for this, but it does make me wonder just how do you get the job of designing edible spray paint in the first place...

[ZenBubble]

Did anybody listen all the way through? Did you all hear the song at the end?

-Chris

[ambivalence]

Did anybody listen all the way through? Did you all hear the song at the end?

-Chris

I thought I would be polite and not mention it ;-)

Actutally I was not sure what it refrenced, though it made me smile anyway.

[Grenge]

I heard it but wasn't sure what it was all about.
So I'm not as cool as all the cool kids.

[xombiekitty]

If you guys follow the link in the show notes, it takes you to a YouTube video that shows Tay Zonday singing the song.
Near the start he puts up a line of info explaining "I move away from the mic to breathe in".
Does it make sense now?

[ZenBubble]

... and if you've followed the link, I'd like to paraphrase Jeff Fahey in The Lawnmower Man:

"Now Tay Zonday's in YOUR head"

-Chris

[Cybertron Ax]

Chris....WHY?!?

That song is stuck in my head now.
