Please, please, please make it so the recently-announced Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is not actually based on the wonderful Tim Powers novel of the same name. Yes, the first movie was fun. And yes, it would be nice for Powers to get a huge check. But John Travolta and Miley Cyrus will be in it. And that's terrible.
Thanks,

The US release of the third series of The IT Crowd came out yesterday. You should buy it.
Of course, the art for the US release is a bit more generic than that of the UK version:
Which is completely understandable, given that the show is a hit in the UK and all but unknown here. We wouldn't want any BestMart employees stocking it in the anime section, God help us. Still, I don't think I'll pick up the US release like I originally planned. The UK disc is about the same price, and as I already have the R2 versions of the first couple of seasons, it'll keep things consistent.
And the Limited Internet in a Box Edition kicks both their asses, any way.

"John Lennon" smiling in the commercial for The Beatles Rock Band is THE CREEPIEST THING EVER.

As part of the publicity for the upcoming Zombieland (please don't suck), the official website has an article by Cracked.com's Chris Bucholz on How Iconic Movie Characters Would Deal with a Zombie Attack. It's funny. Not as funny as The IT Crowd, but there you go.
I really hope the movie doesn't suck.
