Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Just watched Torpedo Run, a war drama from the 1950's in which Glenn Ford plays a submarine commander who becomes obsessed with sinking a Japanese carrier to the point that it becomes his own personal Moby Dick. He pays a terrible price for his obsession, losing his only friend and something much, much worse in the course of his quest. Ernest Borgnine played the Starbuck figure in the story. The movie was nominated for a Special Effects Oscar. I found there is something fundamentally chilling about the torpedo.

Re: Bleach Conversion Project Author, musician and activist Leslie Fish was of the opinion that The Anarchist's Cookbook was disinformation, designed to cause radicals to destroy themselves as opposed to the tools of "The System".

Re: CBR NYCC CO Coverage Some of the footage has been placed online -- I think it was linked to at the first post in this thread. The things I saw consisted of a hero called "La Bomber" running around shooting agents (and being shot at by them). It looked like a normal third-person shooter, though I'm sure there will more superheroic material in the final game. Does Cryptic still plan this as a dual Xbox/PC release, and will there be a PS3 version by any chance?
