Except Cartman didn't build a time machine; he froze himself. Good attempt though.

Either way though, it's good to hear that the effort their putting into it isn't wasted. The longer something is in development, the better is has to do to be successful.

@TemporalSword: Uh oh, the hybrid feature begins to rear it's ugly head. Next we'll have Deadspin commenting on Jezebel, DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER MASS HYSTERIA!

See, I've learned that if you disappear for a while and then come back, everyone is inordinately appreciative. "Unhealthy attention-seeking behavior bordering on the narcissistic," my ass, Dr. Therapist.

The wife has a sweet-tastin' booty and also cooks and knits. The motorcycle turns into a helicopter, like in M.A.S.K.

Does your wife know that you're putting her on the block?

You're like some kind of humor leprechaun.

@Moff: Keep the motorcycle, send the wife. I don't care about her booty, but I could use someone around who cooks and knits -- if she does laundry and can sew a bit, she's my dream girl.

I'm excited. James Cameron never fails to deliver. Even when it's garbage, it's glorious garbage.

I'm trying my absolute hardest to ignore all of this press because too often I've heard superlatives thrown at work before it comes out and it does nothing but inflate my expectations far beyond what we actually end up with.

That said... That image of the spaceship and planets is loverly and reminds me of the good old days (and yes I love CG too) of models.

That happened to me with Shrek. I read months of interviews leading up to Shrek about the thought and heart Mike meyers put into the character, the add-in jokes, the animation (and eddie murphy was still good then too). It blew chunks. I don't believe entertainment 'journalists' any more.

An additional note is that you could clip Star Wars parts from I-III make it look like it was a decent movie. I've wait for full film reviews.

@alchemisto: um, yeah, I uh, was pretty shocked also when I discovered that the Mike Myers farting ogre cartoon wasn't a benchmark of cinematic excellence?
