Internet Mystery: imissrachael.com

Becky and I were driving down I79 today when we saw a big-ass billboard that said, simply:

imissrachael.com

And if you go to that site, you see a plea for someone named Rachael to contact the owner of the site, someone who misses the person in question terribly.

This smacks of viral marketing, but I can see nothing online that even references it!

Any ideas, interweb?

Penny Arcade vs Jack Thompson

I’m sure you’ve been keeping up with the goings-on between pundit Jack Thompson and the vast body of video gamers. I won’t bore you with the details that you probably already know.

Suffice to say that Jack Thompson may or may not have intended to actually give his $10k dollars to charity. Betting on the side of cynicism, Penny Arcade has called his bluff.

Serenity – “It was great but I hated it.”

A Becky who is not my wife said that after we watched Serenity (or Firefly: The Motion Picture) tonight. I agree with her. It’s a fantastic movie, but things happen in it that will not sit well with fans – even those fans who understand why these things were done.

Joss is, hands down, the best writer of snappy dialogue in Hollywood. Maybe he’s the best writer of dialogue period.

He made this movie for us. Do him a favor and see it twice.
